Answer: Improving Stretch Marks with a combination of microneedling/prp--add lasers, radiofrequency Stretch marks need a combination approach to get the most improvement. I recommend a combination of microneedling/prp with lasers (Erbium/Fraxel Laser, Excel V, Pulsed Dye Laser) or radiofrequency devices. Stretch marks can't be cured and it will take a series of treatments lifelong. Don't let distance dissuade you. I recommend you see an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: 3 prong approach We use a 3 prong approach for stretch marks. I definitely recommend platelet rich plasma (PRP), and we combine it with microneedling at a deeper level and laser treatments. The goal of this is to get your body to form new collagen that is in the correct shape. I think then PRP is key

Answer: Stretch Marks Be Gone! Thank you for your question. After a complete consultation in a medical laser setting, you would probably be a candidate for multiple treatment options depending on your skin type, severity of the stretch marks and how much downtime you can take. We rarely recommend microneedling for scars and stretch marks. There are much effective and cost efficient laser options available. Keep in mind that more intense/deeper treatments require more downtime, but you will need less treatments. If you choose a short downtime treatment plan, you will need more treatments in the series. The most gentle would be something like the PicoSure FOCUS treatment with almost no downtime. It is safe for all skin types, but you would probably need 3 to 6 treatments. Another option would be a fractional 1540 nm laser treatment like ICON, Fraxel or others. With these treatment you could have redness and swelling for 1 to 3 days, but need less treatments. Based on your skin type, you may be a candidate for a fractional CO2 treatment with 7 days of redness and swelling. Look for a medical setting with a doctor in house, where they have multiple laser options. Best of luck.

Answer: Microneedling for stretch marks Microneedling is a great choice for stretch marks. You need to have this procedure done in a medical setting by an experienced physician. In my practice I use microneedling for scars and stretch marks with a good improvement. The needles need to reach deep into the scars or marks in order to break up the old collagen and stimulate growth of new and heathy collagen.
