• Pregnancy
• Weight gain
• Growth spurts

Both men and women alike can develop stretch marks on different parts of the body. Unfortunately, there is no cure or prevention. However, the appearance can be reduced and improved.

PRP skin needling for stretch marks works a little like this:

We draw a small amount of blood, like a blood test. the blood for use is prepared in a centrifuge and concentrated in the blood plasma for maximum healing potential. We then apply the PRP solution to the affected area using a specialist microneedle. The device ensures the PRP solution enters the skin and begins working right away. After the treatment, we apply a red LED light to the treated area. This would help reduce the inflammation and accelerate the healing of your skin.
