Microneedling is another great treatment option for improving the appearance of stretch marks, especially for those in their early or fresh stages. Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure where a device with fine needles creates micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural collagen production in the treated area. Collagen is a protein that helps maintain skin strength and elasticity. When applied to stretch marks, microneedling can encourage the formation of new collagen, which can improve the texture and appearance of each mark.
The micro-injuries also trigger the skin's natural healing process, which includes the shedding of old skin cells and the generation of new, healthier skin tissue, which can help reduce the prominence of stretch marks.
