Benefits of Microneedling for Stretch Marks

The skin is our largest organ. While the skin serves as a physical barrier between the outside world and our internal organs, it is what we present to the world. It can often play a significant role in how we feel about ourselves inwardly. Stretch marks, a common and stubborn scar, can inhibit self-confidence and comfort, leaving many people disappointed with over-the-counter solutions and topical treatments that often do not produce results. However, PRP microneedling in Toronto from a reputable medical spa clinic provides an effective alternative. 

At NU Youth Medispa, our trained technicians use an advanced microneedling procedure to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. 

How Do Stretch Marks Form? 

Stretch marks, formally known as "striae," form when there is a disruption to the skin's elastin and collagen production. This most frequently occurs when the skin expands and shrinks quickly. Stretch marks can show up on anyone, male or female, at any age, but they're commonly experienced by women during or shortly after pregnancy, as the skin goes through many changes during this time. Stretch marks are not harmful, and most of the time, they're not painful, but many people find that these stubborn scars can impact confidence in the way they look. 

What is PRP Microneedling?

Microneedling is an innovative, safe, and minimally invasive procedure used to enhance collagen production to erase perceived blemishes and skin ailments over time. Microneedling has been used by medical spa clinics to treat anything from acne and scars to sun damage and ageing. One of the most exciting uses for microneedling is its ability to minimize the visibility of stretch marks. 

During the microneedling procedure, technicians use fine needles to prick the surface of the affected area, deliberately creating minor cuts. This process triggers the body to send healing agents, most notably collagen, to the site, facilitating cell turnover and healthier skin. 

Benefits of Microneedling for Stretch Marks 

There are many benefits to using microneedling technology from a medical spa clinic like NU Youth Medispa. 

• Cost-Effective: There are creams, serums, and potions that claim to dissolve stretch marks. While some work, it can be a long time until significant progress is made, which can run up your bill. 
• Results: At NU Youth Medispa, we are results-oriented. With microneedling, you can start to see a meaningful reduction in the appearance of stretch marks in just three sessions.
• Confidence: When done carefully by an expert, microneedling delivers results ridding the skin of blemishes which in turn restores confidence in the way you look and feel about yourself. 
• Additional Benefits: Since microneedling procedures boost collagen production, treatments also reverse ageing and minimize the appearance of acne and sun damage for healthier, younger feeling skin.

Improving Stretch Marks at NU Youth Medispa

Do you have stretch marks on your thighs, back, knees, stomach, breasts, or arms that prevent you from wearing bikinis or short dresses, then we can help!

If you have recent stretch marks that are no more than a few months old (still red or pink rather), topicals like Skinceuticals Glycolic 10 and Skinceuticals Retinol 1% in combination with our resurfacing chemical peels, can significantly reduce the length and width of these stretch marks.

On the other hand, if you have older stretch marks (faded to a white or silvery color stretch marks), we recommend a min of 3 sessions of Microneedling or 6 sessions of Microdermabrasion and our resurfacing chemical peels while using the topicals in combination!
