A member asked:

I have stretch marks all over my stomach, i was thinking of getting a dermaroller but not really sure if it works. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Striae on abdomen: striae or stretch marks can be treated, depending on their age, topically, surgically, with laser or microneedling(the dermaroller). Microneedling will require multiple treatments, the concomittant use of growth factor, a topical retinoid and emollients. You should discuss this with your MD.
