STRETCH MARK TREATMENT
Stretch Marks are scar-like bands that appear on the surface of the skin almost anywhere on the body where the skin has been stretched beyond its natural capacity.
Commonly mistaken as being a side effect of being overweight, stretch marks appear where there is excess fat deposited, or where the skin has been unable to respond to the rate of growth (puberty or pregnancy).
At the FIRM Cosmetic Center we utilize Microneedling and Platlet Rich Plasma (PRP) for the effective reduction of stretch marks on the skin. Get back to smoother, more youthful skin with our stretch mark treatments.
Our Medical Aesthetician Renee' Ruiz has over 25 years in the beauty industry and specializes in Facial and Body Aesthetics. This means that you will receive the quality care you deserve.
Stretch Mark treatments are performed at our Hunters Creek, Orlando/Kissimmee, FL location.
What is Micro-Needling for Stretch Marks?
The basic idea behind Micro-Needling is to stimulate the production of new collagen. Using the skin’s ability to heal itself, puncturing the dermis with microscopic needles triggers the production of new collagen.
Micro-Needling is used to improve skin tone and texture; treating the appearance of ageing; scarring; stretch marks and pigmentation marks from acne and sun damage.
Topical products applied directly after Micro-Needling can be absorbed to a far deeper level in the skin, making them more effective.

What is Micro-Needling for Stretch Marks?
Micro-Needling is designed to stimulate the production of new collagen. Using the skin’s ability to heal itself, puncturing the dermis with microscopic needles triggers the production of new collagen.
Micro-Needling is used to improve skin tone and texture; treating the appearance of ageing; scarring; stretch marks and pigmentation marks from acne and sun damage.
Topical products applied directly after Micro-Needling can be absorbed to a far deeper level in the skin, making them more effective. The use of Platelet Rich Plasma aids in the production of collagen to further improve skin texture.
How does the Micro-Needling Treatment for Stretch Marks work?
Collagen is a protein that gives our skin its structure, working like a netting to hold skin cells together. It also gives skin a smooth and youthful appearance, as we have it in abundance when we’re young. As we age, collagen starts to break down.
The tiny needles used in skin Micro-Needling make microscopic channels in the dermis, triggering the body’s healing response to kick-start production of new collagen and elastin, plumping up the skin which is important for stretch mark reduction.
Micro-Needling & PRP - Micro-Needling & Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy - Micro-Needling with Eclipse MicroPen
What is Micro-Needling?
The Eclipse MicroPen uses a sterile needle-tip containing 12 tiny micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This initiates the skin’s repair process to naturally produce collagen and elastin, ideal for smoothing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks. Micro-channels created by the treatment allow for optimal absorption of topical products and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), enhancing their effects in the deeper layers of skin.
What does it feel like?
Micro-Needling feels similar to sandpaper being moved across the skin. Topical numbing may be applied prior to your stretch mark procedure, but no anesthesia or medications are necessary.
What can I expect after a Stretch Mark Micro-Needling procedure?
The skin will be red and flushed, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn, for 12 hours to 3 days. You may also experience mild swelling, tightness, and/or mild peeling. Side effects are temporary and typically resolve within 3 days. Total healing time depends on the depth of the treatment, skin type, and skin condition, and some patients may heal completely in 24 hours.
When will I see the results?
Patients typically notice an immediate glow, but visible improvement will take about 2-4 weeks and can continue for up to 6 months.
How many Stretch Mark treatments will I need?
A series of 4 - 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is ideal for optimal results. However deeper stretch marks may require up to 8 treatments.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. What is PRP?
Platelet Rich Plasma is a concentration of platelets in the blood that are crucial to wound healing. When used for skin rejuvenation, PRP releases growth factors into the skin to expedite the body’s own repair process and stimulate new collagen and elastin.
What does the procedure entail?
A small blood sample is taken from your own body and the PRP is separated from the other components. The PRP is then topically applied to the skin immediately following a micro-needling procedure. The micro-channels created by micro-needling provide direct pathways to the deeper layers of skin for optimal wound healing. Micro-needling with PRP application for stretch marks is an ideal treatment for softening strech marks and increasing plumpness and overall rejuvenation of the skin.
