Stretch marks - PRP with microneedling

Stretch marks are common skin conditions characterized by streaks or lines that develop when the skin is stretched rapidly due to factors such as pregnancy, weight gain, or puberty. One effective treatment for reducing their appearance is the combination of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and microneedling. PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood and contains growth factors that promote healing and collagen production. When combined with microneedling, which creates micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, this treatment enhances skin rejuvenation.

During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and processed to extract the PRP. The microneedling device is then used to create tiny punctures in the skin, allowing the PRP to penetrate deeply. This dual approach not only improves the texture and elasticity of the skin but also helps fade the color of stretch marks over time, making them less noticeable. The result is smoother, healthier-looking skin with improved overall appearance.

Benefits of Stretch Mark Removal by PRP with Microneedling

• Natural Healing Process: Utilises your body’s own growth factors for skin regeneration.
• Enhanced Collagen Production: Promotes firmer and more elastic skin.
• Minimally Invasive: Non-surgical procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime.
• Improves Skin Texture: Refines and smoothens uneven skin.
• Fades Stretch Marks: Reduces the visibility of both old and new stretch marks.

Other Treatments for Stretch Mark Removal

While PRP with microneedling is a highly effective option, other treatments for stretch marks include:

• Laser Therapy: Targets pigmentation and improves skin texture by boosting collagen production.
• Chemical Peels: Exfoliates the skin’s outer layer, revealing smoother skin beneath.
• Microdermabrasion: Gently polishes the skin surface to reduce stretch marks.
• Topical Retinoids: Helps rebuild collagen in early-stage stretch marks.
• Hyaluronic Acid Creams: Improves hydration and elasticity.

Each treatment option varies in effectiveness based on factors such as skin type, age, and the condition of the stretch marks. Consulting our expert dermatologists at Ara will help determine the most suitable treatment for your specific needs.
