Dermarolling will not help much. If the stretch marks are red, a 532 KTP laser will take out the red, but nothing removes stretch marks.

You cannot do anything other than pigment the stretch marks. There is no cream to diminish these, only to moisturize the skin.

You can use a dermal roller but I am not sure it's very effective. It would be pretty uncomfortable also. Unfortunately there's nothing out there, including creams, lasers, derma rollers, radiofrequency or magnetic therapy that gives significant improvement.

Hello and thanks for your question
Stretch marks are uncommon after a breast augmentation, but can occasionally occur. If the stretch mark is reddish in color, there are lasers which can improve the appearance. Unfortunately, if the marks are white there is no good treatment at this point.

Hello,
I'm sorry that you've developed stretch marks after breast augmentation. Dermarollers and the like have failed show significant improvement in their appearance. However, if you can avoid tanning your skin, your stretch marks will become less noticeable.
Best of luck!

Unfortunately there are no great answers for stretch marks. These are tears in the skin and nothing really improves them. Larger implants will make them worse as the implants will push / stretch the skin more over time. Tanning might offer some visual disguise, but that only damages the collagen the elastic fibers and predisposes you to skin cancers. Needling can offer some help in that it is a stimulus for collagen production. We have done this for a long while and find it works very well. As with all devises this is truly technique driven. You need to find someone who does a lot of these and understands the use of these machines in a clinical setting, not some spa.

Hello, and thank you for your question. I personally do not have any experience with a dermal roller regarding stretch marks along the breast. I would recommend that you be extremely cautious. Unfortunately, we do not have any excellent treatment options for your stretch marks in general.best of luck.

I'm sorry hear that you're having trouble after your Breast augmentation. If your surgery was recent, the stretch marks will improve over time. They are some laser treatments available to blend in and camouflage the look of the stretch marks if they persist.

A dermaroller should be ok because the needle depth is extremely small and should not fully penetrate the skin.
