I'm a fit mom with two babies and a bit of a stretched out belly (not too bad but not unscathed either). Really would prefer not to get tummy tuck but know nothing will get rid of loose skin completely besides that. Decided to give microneedling a try ... I know others are in similar boat and hopeful for a different option so wanted to post and share the process!
Went in yesterday. It hurt more than I thought! Felt like getting a tattoo (I have a few... may try to get those removed at some point too!). Anyway, they said I prob won't notice much of a difference after first procedure - I'm signed up for 3. Will keep posting as skin changes. Right now no more discomfort but a little swelling and pinkness on and around where needle punctured skin. Photos make everything look less intense - looks about 10-20% worse in person.

Getting a little worried this is taking too long to heal... is this normal for 9 days after? Still red and slightly swollen have the little needle scabs everywhere....

Like I can see the size of the laser nub they used... I will probably call soon

How does it look now? I figure the cell turnover rate of the stomach is slower than the face, but how does it look?

Not much to really update! It's been slowly healing.. and I go in next week for round 2. I will try to post a photo later. @ritalamarie - let me know how it goes! When are you going in?

I can still see a little bit of the needle marks - very faintly. It's like wider scars but at least fading. Can't see much of a difference on the belly button but maybe a touch on stretch marks? I think too early to tell , plus only one session done.

My suggestion would be to try an actual resurfacing laser duck as fraxel

Hi - I'm skeptical of this suggestion. Maybe it's different for abdominal skinn, but I have seen Fraxel treatment on the face, which appeared to result in an odd shiny surface on skin. Has anyone else noticed this?

Looks great! Can you take a photo of how you hunched over a little? I'm interested in seeing if there was Improvement on the texture
