What size needle is recommended using a microneedling pen on stretch marks?

Question

my breasts sag from breasts feeding many years ago, especially on the sides you can see the stretch marks the most

Kian Karimi, MD, FACS · Answer

With microneedling, the needle size is not what varies during a procedure, but rather needle depth. Dermarollers on the market can only go to 1.5mm depth, while microneedling devices handled by experts can penetrate up to 3.0mm depths. Additionally, stretch marks are difficult to treat, so while microneedling can help diminish their appearance, this may take multiple rounds of treatment. Going forward, I would recommend you to complete multiple consultations with board certified experts. This way, they can assess if microneedling is the ideal treatment for you and then craft a treatment plan to target your concerns. 
Best of luck!

dermarolling at home can help (see link to emeragecosmetics.com) but I would suggest lasers and/or microneedling in the office.  Best, Dr. Emer.
