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.

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'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.

Please keep us updated. I signed up for 3 session myself and it was more painful than I was expecting and I did bleed some. I haven't noticed much by way of results after the first session, but the nurse said it takes time and my appointments are scheduled six weeks apart. I'm hoping to see some improvement in my skin elasticity. Good luck! Your tummy doesn't look bad at all by the way, but I totally get it!

Oh happy to hear someone else is doing it too! Will you post a photo review? But sad you haven't seen any results / sounds like all the nurses say the same thing though! Will post another update once the scanning clears up.

My ps group wanted to do 4 weeks apart- so my next session is booked for just under 4. Hopefully that'll work! I had heard 6 weeks elsewhere too so was surprised they had shortened the time frame...
