Microneedling Stretch Mark Treatment
Microneedling therapy (also referred as Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy) is one of the most innovative and effective skin treatments available.
Microneedling is intended to significantly improve many skin conditions, including stretch marks. The concept of skin needling is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical damage such as cuts, burns or other abrasions. Immediately after an injury occurs, our body reuses the damaged collagen and elastin fibers to produce new ones.

What Should I Do Before The Stretch Marks Treatment?
Before the microneedling procedure for stretch marks, the patient is often recommended a number of pre-operative guidelines. These include to avoid using topical forms of retinoids and exfoliants on the skin to be treated with micro-needling as this might increase its sensitivity. They should not be used for at least seven days before the procedure. Blood thinners and anti-inflammatory agents like ibuprofen and Advil should not be taken for at least three days before the procedure, as they may increase the chances
What Can I Expect During The Stretch Marks Treatment?
On the day of the treatment, the doctor will first start by cleaning the skin containing the stretch marks to be treated. This is to make sure that the skin is free from all oils, dirt or even makeup. The patient will be asked about any changes in their medical history ever since their consultation appointment. They will also be asked about their drug history to make sure they are not taking any blood thinners.
