I had a dermapen treatment for stretch marks with a 2.5mm length 20 days ago and didn't experience any itching what's so ever?

Question

Am kind of concerned Because I know itching is supposed to be a sign of healing( the treatment working)...and pretty much all the reviews I have read have mentioned some amount of itching following day ...dose this mean that my skin is not healing properly ?

My patients rarely itch.  I suggest posting photos and seeing an expert for treatment. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi Happygirl23,I wouldn't worry that you haven't experienced itching while healing from your micro needling treatment. Everyone's skin responds differently to injury - not everyone will itch. The most important thing is to make sure you are getting treatments from a trusted individual, under the guidance of a physician or by the physician themselves. That way you can rest assured that you are getting the best possible treatment for your stretch marks. Best of luck!

Itching is not necessary to get results, however this treatment will have only very mild effects. Stretch marks are difficult to treat and in my opinion need either lasers or Infini to improve.
