Which pin density is best for stretch marks?

Mixedangel03Mar 12, 2019
I want to try using a home dermapen on my abdominal stretch marks. I'm seeing that I can buy cartridges and 9, 12, 36, or 42 pin variance. I'm thinking that the 42 pen will be more thorough, but I'm not sure. Which would you recommend? I have a lot of stretch marks Dr. Pen is what I'm looking at!
