Improve Texture, Scars & Stretch Marks
Microneedling for the body helps improve stretch marks, scars, crepey skin, and uneven texture by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. At Renove Medical Spa, Dr. Michelle Parsons uses SkinPen® medical microneedling technology to safely treat areas where skin has become stretched, scarred, or lax.​​​
What Body Areas Can Be Treated?
Common treatment areas include:
-
Abdomen
-
Breasts
-
Arms
-
Hands
-
Chest
-
Legs
-
Back
-
Surgical scars
-
Acne scarring on shoulders or back
Microneedling helps the skin rebuild collagen naturally, improving texture, firmness, and the appearance of scars and stretch marks over time.
​
What Does Body Microneedling Improve?
-
Stretch marks
-
Surgical and acne scars
-
Crepey or thinning skin
-
Uneven texture
-
Mild skin laxity
-
Skin tone irregularities
Stretch marks form when collagen breaks down. Microneedling helps rebuild that structure from within.
​
What to Expect
-
A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort
-
Needle depth is customized based on the treatment area and concern
-
Growth factor serum may be applied to support healing and collagen production
-
Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area being treated
Because body skin is often thicker than facial skin, treatment settings are adjusted to safely target deeper collagen remodeling.
​
Downtime
Most patients experience:
-
Redness for 24–48 hours
-
Mild swelling or sensitivity
-
Temporary dryness or roughness
Most normal activities can be resumed quickly after treatment.
​
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?
Yes. For patients seeking additional tightening and skin contraction, microneedling may be combined with Radiofrequency energy.

I love how my skin looks after microneedling. I suffered from acne scars and microneedling helped with it and got rid of all my acne scars.
