Microneedling, also referred to as skin needling or collagen induction therapy, is a process where a professional therapist runs a tool over the stretch mark area. By creating minor injuries where skin has been damaged, microneedling encourages your body to repair damaged skin through increased production of collagen and elastin.

BENEFITS OF TREATMENT
Stretch marks are scars that form in the middle layer of skin, and like scars from injuries, they do not go away on their own. While they may fade over time, getting rid of stretch marks requires undergoing a treatment that can penetrate the top layer of skin and affect the middle layer of skin where stretch mark scars form.
The process of microneedling allows a trained therapist to use long enough needle to impact middle layer of your skin. When skin is damaged through the microneedling process, it triggers the development of collagen and elastin in your body, which will promote skin regeneration in the damaged areas. The skin regeneration process can encourage new skin growth in areas with stretch marks, improving the tone and texture of skin and reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
In addition to treating stretch marks, microneedling is also commonly used to treat wrinkles and acne scars. The treatment requires only a topical anaesthetic, and is considered a safe and low-risk treatment option.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
More than one microneedling treatment is generally required for stretch marks. Your therapist will develop an individual treatment plan that considers the severity of your stretch mark scarring, but you can probably expect to need five or more treatments with intervals between treatments of 4-6 weeks. On average, a single microneedling treatment takes approx 45 mins to 1 hour. The entire process will take 4-6 months to see desired results.
