Is microneedling the best option for stretch mark removal on the inner thigh and behind the knees?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Stretch marks need a combination approach for improvement. I recommend a combination of microneedling/prp, lasers (Erbium/Fraxel Laser, Excel V, Pulsed Dye Laser) or radiofrequency devices. Stretch marks can't be cured and it will take a series of treatments. I recommend you see an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

In my Manhattan practice, I see excellent results with microneedling on stretch marks. We also combine microneedling + PRP. Using your own plasma, which is rich in growth factors which will repair the skin and regenerate tissue. We recommend 3 treatments with 6 weeks between each for optimal skin healing. For best results, we recommend coming in for complimentary consult so we can go over your personalized treatment plan. Thank you for your question!
