Your guide to SkinPen microneedling for stretch marks
Stretch marks affect not only women but also men. These marks develop when experiencing periods of fast weight gain and skin stretching. However, they are not permanent when patients talk to a professional about treating them. Our team at The Nest Day Spa and Aesthetic Center of Russell, Kentucky, encourages patients to talk to them about a treatment for stretch marks that works: SkinPen microneedling. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions about this procedure:
What is SkinPen microneedling?
SkinPen microneedling is described by our team as a minimally invasive treatment that uses very small, fine needles to create tiny controlled micro-injuries on your skin. This kickstarts your body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. Both collagen and elastin are key ingredients for smoother, firmer skin.
Does it work on stretch marks?
Absolutely! SkinPen microneedling at our office is specifically designed to reduce the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating your skin’s repair process. While results often vary from patient to patient, many will see noticeable improvements after just a few treatment sessions.

Does treatment hurt?
SkinPen microneedling is not as scary as it sounds! Most patients describe the feeling as a slight tingle or mild discomfort, but a numbing cream might be applied to the skin to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your unique skin and the severity of the stretch marks. Typically, our clients see the best results after three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Our providers can give you a customized plan based on your goals.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects noticed are mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity right after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects are temporary and usually fade within 24-48 hours.
Can I go back to work after a session?
You sure can! This is one of the many reasons most patients love SkinPen microneedling. While your skin might be a little pink for a day or so, there is no downtime required. Just be sure to follow the after-care instructions our team has given you.
Is the SkinPen microneedling treatment safe for all skin types?
Yes! Our SkinPen microneedling service is a versatile, safe, and effective treatment for all skin types and tones. Whether your skin is fair or rich in melanin, a professional SkinPen session can improve your skin’s overall texture and tone.
