Is it safe to use Dermapen/microneedling on red stretch marks?

Dear Patient, microneedling can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production, promoting skin regeneration, and reducing skin irregularities.

During a microneedling session, the tiny needles of the Dermapen create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response. This leads to the production of new collagen and elastin, which can help improve the texture and appearance of stretch marks over time. Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results. Additionally, individual response to treatment can vary, and results may vary depending on factors such as the severity of the stretch marks and skin type.

stretch marks need lasers, and skincare.

In my experience, I have seen improvement with microneedling on stretch marks. The results are improved by the addition of PRP - platelet-rich plasma.
