How effective is the Eclipse Micropen with PRP on stretch marks, when treating entire abs and flanks?

Question

Should I consider another type of treatment? I am deciding between Infini RF and Eclipse Micropen. My stretch marks are white and silvery and about 2 years old. The Infini RF with PRP will be 3 treatments Micropen with PRP will be 6 treatments (same cost as Infini) Which would be more effective?

Thank you for the question. To rejuvenate your skin, help with hair loss, and improve the results of laser procedures, we can inject you with plasma from your own blood. We draw some of your blood and process it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP).  PRP contains concentrated growth factors; ingredients that stimulate skin and hair growth. The entire procedure can be performed in less than an hour.  Normally a series of 3 treatments is recommended for best results.
Stretch marks are difficult to treat but can be improved with a series of treatments.  However, they  may not be entirely eliminated.  I find that the Eclipse PRP system with the Micropen Elite achieves best results.  Lasers can also be used to reduce stretch mark redness and texture. A combination treatment is often the most successful approach.
As always, an in-person consultation with a board certified dermatologist with cosmetic training is the best way to assess your needs and provide medical advice.

Lasers,including Infini, are more effective than microneedling, but they doaccomplish slightly different things. I take a combination approachto stretch mark treatment, which includes both lasers an microneedling withPRP. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I usually tell patients that the Infini is about 10x the results of a microneedling device and I price it that way. The Infini can go deeper (if needed) and has the energy (RF) that makes for better collagen remodeling than just the needles. Keep in mind that stretch marks are hard to improve with any method but I'm certain that Infini will be a better choice.
