Micro Needling and Stem Cell Serum or Rio Blush CO2 therapy for stretchmarks? (photos)

Brit20kAug 6, 2015
Which would be the better option? I don't want a tummy tuck. If I could get a little result out of some skin tightening, I could tighten the rest with exercise. Its loose skin, but when I pull on it, it doesn't feel extra loose. It still feels like its thick & when I press on my stomach, I can still feel muscle underneath. I just want a head start. Excuse my psoriasis, please and sorry about the picture quality. Not looking for a miracle, but at least something to make the marks less noticeable.

Microneedling is a good option for stimulating collagen. The combination with topicals ie hylaronic acid, vitamin C, retinoids, peptides... gives the best results. Microneedling is excellent on the rhytids (wrinkles) above the lips but should not be used on the lips themselves. Remember to take...

Hi @yreutishi223! Excellent question. I would keep the skin hydrated at all times with Hyaluronic Acid serum. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!
