What Does Body Microneedling Improve?
-
Stretch marks
-
Surgical scars
-
Acne scarring
-
Crepey chest skin
-
Skin laxity
-
Uneven texture
Stretch marks form when collagen breaks down. Microneedling helps rebuild that structure from within.
What to Expect
-
Numbing cream is applied
-
Adjustable needle depth targets the specific body concern
-
Growth factor serum may be applied to enhance healing
-
Treatment time varies by area
Because body skin is thicker than facial skin, treatment depth is adjusted accordingly for optimal results.
Downtime
Body microneedling typically involves:
-
Redness for 24–48 hours
-
Mild swelling
-
Temporary sensitivity
Most patients resume normal activity quickly.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Body treatments often require:
-
3–6 sessions for stretch marks
-
Additional sessions for deeper scars
-
Maintenance treatments annually if desired
Results continue to improve over several months as collagen rebuilds.
Why Medical Microneedling Makes a Difference
In Delaware, estheticians cannot penetrate deeper than 0.3mm and cannot legally create permanent structural change in the skin.
At Renove Medical Spa, Dr. Michelle Parsons can safely treat deeper layers to achieve meaningful improvement in stretch marks and scars.
Can Body Microneedling Be Combined with Radiofrequency?
