Stretch marks are a common skin condition that affects many people, particularly women who have gone through pregnancy or rapid weight loss. While they're not harmful, they can be unsightly and cause self-consciousness. Fortunately, there are several treatments available for stretch marks, including Microneedling.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with small needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process is also known as collagen induction therapy. The punctures trigger the body's natural healing response, which stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Microneedling is commonly used to treat acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines, but it can also be effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
How Does Microneedling Help with Stretch Mark Removal?
Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched too quickly, causing the collagen and elastin fibers to tear. Over time, the tears heal, but the skin may be left with a scar-like appearance. Microneedling can help to improve the appearance of stretch marks by encouraging the production of collagen and elastin in the affected area. The tiny punctures created by the Microneedling device also help to break up scar tissue and promote new cell growth, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin.
If you're considering Microneedling, it's important to schedule a consultation with a qualified medical professional to discuss your options and ensure that the treatment is right for you.

To start with, a numbing cream is applied on the treatment area. Once the skin has become numb, the process of microneedling starts where micro needles are used via a device called Derma Pen to puncture your skin.
Due to the application of the numbing cream, there is no pain or discomfort during the Microneedling procedure.
A typical Microneedling session lasts for 30-45 mins however might vary depending on the size of the treatment area.
We offer a free one on one consultation with a medical professional, where you can discuss any concerns you may have regarding the treatment including your medical suitability.
Side effects with Microneedling are rare however mild redness does occur in some cases which usually subsides within 48 hours.
A soothing cream will be provided complimentary with the treatment for a successful recovery. We suggest avoiding the sun & high temperatures for 48 hours post treatment & using a medical grade SPF which can be bought from your practitioner itself.
