How effective is Micro-needling (Eclipse) paired with PRP on Stretch marks?

Question

A nurse during my consultation recommended this treatment for my 2y old stretch marks on my ab/flank areas (see photo in previous post). She suggests 3 treatments to completely diminish most, if not all the stretch marks.. I haven't found anything on stretch marks, although I have read some really good reviews about this treatment on the face. Does this really work? Has anyone had experience with this? Thank you!

I find that microneedling alone with PRP is okay but the best is with lasers combined at least to get an improvement.  this is no "cure" for stretch marks you can get improvement.  Best, Dr. Emer.

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.
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.
