Get Rid of Stretch Marks with Microneedling

Introduction to Stretch Marks

re stretch marks keeping you from enjoying Singapore’s beach days and pool parties? These stubborn skin marks can dent your confidence when wearing swimsuits or shorts in our hot climate.

We understand how frustrating it can be when creams and oils fail to make a difference.

At Wellaholic, our team combines over 15 years of aesthetic treatment experience across our seven Singapore locations. Our specialists have helped thousands of customers reduce stretch marks through advanced microneedling techniques that stimulate natural collagen production.

In this guide, we’ll explain how microneedling works on stretch marks, its benefits over other treatments, what happens during your session, and the results you can expect. Trust our proven approach to help you achieve smoother, more even-toned skin with our stretch marks treatment in Singapore.

Understanding Stretch Marks and How Microneedling Works

What Causes Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks form when your skin stretches or shrinks rapidly, causing tears in the collagen and elastin fibers that support your skin. These marks appear as slightly depressed lines on the skin and can be pink, red, purple, brown, or silver in color. They typically start darker and gradually lighten over time.

You’ll most commonly find stretch marks on the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, thighs, hips, buttocks, and back. In Singapore’s humid climate, these visible marks can be especially concerning when wearing swimwear or lighter clothing. Studies show that stretch marks affect 43% to 88% of pregnant women and up to 86% of adolescents during growth spurts.

The Science Behind Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that creates tiny punctures in the skin using fine needles. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen production in the damaged areas.

When we perform microneedling on stretch marks at Wellaholic, the treatment creates microscopic channels within the stretch marks themselves. Your body responds by producing new collagen at these sites, which helps heal the tears in the dermal layer that caused the stretch marks in the first place. The outer layer of skin remains largely intact, allowing the newly generated collagen to focus specifically on repairing the stretch marks.

Unlike topical creams that rarely penetrate deep enough to make a significant difference, microneedling works from within, addressing the root cause of stretch marks by rebuilding and remodeling the skin’s structure.

Benefits of Microneedling for Stretch Marks

Why Microneedling Outperforms Other Treatments

Microneedling stands out from other stretch mark treatments because it addresses the root cause – damaged collagen and elastin fibers. Unlike topical creams that rarely penetrate deep enough to make real changes, microneedling works from within by stimulating your body’s natural healing process. This makes it effective for both new red stretch marks and older white ones that are typically harder to treat.

Clinical studies show impressive results, with most patients experiencing at least 50% improvement after just 1-2 treatments. In fact, about 28% of patients show more than 75% clinical improvement in their stretch marks. At Wellaholic, we’ve seen similar success rates among our Singapore customers, especially when treatments are completed as a series.

Additional Skin Benefits

When you choose microneedling for stretch marks at Wellaholic, you’ll enjoy several bonus skin benefits beyond just targeting the marks themselves. The treatment improves overall skin texture and tone in the treated areas, making your skin look healthier overall.

Microneedling also helps reduce any hyperpigmentation that often accompanies stretch marks, especially important in Singapore’s diverse skin tones. Another advantage is that the tiny channels created during treatment enhance the absorption of skincare products by up to 3000%. This means any post-treatment serums we apply will work much more effectively to further improve your results.

Many of our customers are surprised to discover that the same treatment helping their stretch marks also makes their skin feel firmer and more elastic. This comprehensive improvement is why microneedling has become one of our most requested treatments for stretch marks in Singapore.

The Microneedling Treatment Process at Wellaholic

Before Your Treatment

Before your microneedling session at Wellaholic, we start with a thorough consultation to assess your stretch marks and skin condition. Our specialists will examine the age, color, and location of your stretch marks to create a personalized treatment plan. We’ll also discuss your medical history to ensure microneedling is safe for you.

We recommend avoiding sun exposure for at least a week before your treatment and stopping any retinol products 3-5 days prior. On the day of your appointment, come with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or creams. Many of our Singapore customers find it helpful to wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area.

During and After Your Session

Your microneedling session begins with cleansing the treatment area and applying a topical numbing cream for your comfort. This takes about 30 minutes to take effect. Our specialist then uses our FDA-approved microneedling device to create thousands of microscopic channels in the stretch mark area. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.

After treatment, your skin will appear red similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal and typically subsides within 24-48 hours. According to our treatment data, over 95% of our customers report minimal discomfort during the recovery period. We’ll apply a soothing serum to calm the skin and provide you with specific aftercare instructions:

• Avoid sun exposure for at least 7 days
• Keep the area clean and moisturized
• Don’t use harsh skincare products for 3-5 days
• Stay hydrated to support your skin’s healing process
• Avoid swimming pools and hot tubs for 48-72 hours

Most customers can return to their normal activities the next day, making this an ideal treatment for busy Singaporeans who can’t afford lengthy downtime.

Expected Results and Success Stories

Timeline for Visible Improvements

Most of our customers start seeing initial improvements in their stretch marks about 2-3 weeks after their first microneedling session at Wellaholic. This is when your body begins producing new collagen in response to the treatment. The full benefits develop gradually over the following months as collagen production continues.

For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This schedule gives your skin enough time to heal and produce collagen between sessions. According to our treatment data, customers with newer, redder stretch marks often see faster improvement than those with older, white stretch marks. However, both types respond well to microneedling with consistent treatment.

Our records show that by the third treatment, most customers experience a 50-70% improvement in the appearance of their stretch marks. Complete results are usually visible about 3-6 months after your final session, as collagen remodeling continues even after your treatment series ends.

Real Client Experiences

At Wellaholic, we’ve helped thousands of Singapore customers reduce the appearance of their stretch marks. One of our recent customers, a mother of two, saw her post-pregnancy stretch marks fade by approximately 65% after completing four microneedling sessions. Another customer who had stretch marks from rapid weight gain achieved nearly 80% improvement after six treatments.

What makes these success stories particularly meaningful is that many of these customers had previously tried numerous creams and oils without success. The difference with microneedling is that it works from within, stimulating your body’s natural healing processes rather than just treating the surface.

Most of our customers report not just visual improvements in their stretch marks but also better overall skin texture and tone in the treated areas. This comprehensive improvement is why microneedling has become one of our most recommended treatments for stretch marks at all seven of our Singapore locations.
