The plastic surgeon I had a consultation with said that he doesn't think lasers do anything for stretch marks. We decided to try EndyMed Intensif microneedling but he is very skeptical if this will help. My stretch marks are new and red and I think I should be a perfect candidate for such treatment. I know they won't go away completely, but I though that they can be improved if treated soon after they appeared? Is the EndyMed Intensif going to help at least a little?

Although l do not have the Endymed, we routinely use the new Profound microneedle radio frequency device. This device has longer pulse durations so it is more aggressive. A fair expectation would be 2 to 5 years of longevity provided you're not a smoker or abuse the sun.

The EndyMed RF is a very effective treatment for acne scarring. The device provides precise settings for the practitioner for optimum results. However, with all procedures there are risks that you should be aware of before deciding to go forth with the treatment. I suggest you meet with you...
Please see your specialist, you should not have a breakout with this treatment. One should exclude acne, or acne like infections- a course of antibiotics maybe needed to help out. Your specialist can assist you. Dr Davin Lim
