I had a tummy tuck in 2011 which removed some, but not all, of my stretch marks. I also had a baby last year (yes....after my TT which is wonderfully intact!) and developed a few new horizontal stretch marks near my belly button.

Stretch mark description:
They are white
Width is small, measuring only a few mm each, but are 5inches above TT scar

I have decided to try at home micro needling. I purchased a derma roller from amazon and some palmers skin oil. Current plan is to rub oil every day and preform micro needling on abdomen and tummy tuck scar once a month. I am also micro needling my TT scar, although it is actually thin and white. I have read it will take awhile to see improvement. I am going to micro needle once a month x 1 year. My goal us to improve the appearance enough that I am comfortable in a bikini.

I will only post photos is there is a drastic improvement. I don't want my pictures used for other purposes, but if the appearance is significant I will show you guys.

Definitely let us know who this turns out.  I will be anxious to hear how it's working.

I have only done it twice but I feel like my newest stretch marks are improving slightly. I am using palmers skin oil and retional a 0.05% as well in hopes that those help. If this does work than I am going to do Co2 fractional laser, but I'm giving this 1 year first!

I love the Palmer's Oil!  I have been using it for years and it helped my scars tremendously.   Let me know how it all works out for you.

Not a fan of the Palmers oil because it isn't natural. There are oils such as rosehip oil, almond, and raw avocado butter which worked great for me. I was able to use the oils/butter on my stretch marks right after I dermarolled. Do you have pictures of your results.

I am microneedling my pregnancy stretchmarks and sharing my process and progress on my blog: stretchmarksanonymous.com. I will needle until they are GONE. I am incredibly determined. Good luck to all of you!

Just saw this, have you seen results? I have done needling on my skin and am beginning to see positive changes (lessening of wrinkles, increased firmness and improved texture). Just had a rejuvapen with PRP on face and neck that I am documenting in a review on RS. I am also waiting on a roller to address an unattractive and visible surgical scar from wrist surgery. I have seen pictures of good results with stretch marks, but it's not a quick fix (since there is no other option, I think that's fine). I am interested in any info you wish to share. Thanks!

Hi, thanks so much for adding to this thread. I'm real happy to hear that you've seen improvement in your stretchmarks with microneedling. I'm documenting my experience at stretchmarksanonymous.com and just wanted to let you know I'm working on solutions for all of us. It's nice to build a community of gals who are actively working toward the same goal. I certainly hope my blog comes in handy here :)

So glad that it's working for your scar! I'm really interested to hear more about your microneedling of stretchmarks. I've read that needling involves pigmentation risks on dark-skin individuals, such as lasers do, apparently. However, my thoughts were that if done properly, with the right topicals, there should be minimal chance of discoloration. Have you noticed any discoloration so far?
