    I've never heard of anyone doing this for stretch marks. It's typically used for acne scars and in that case I've heard mixed results. Some say it helps a little, some say it does nothing. I really don't think it would work on a stretch mark, plus it would be painful and extremely time-consuming.

    it basically is tiny needles done under local that stimulate collagen production to make skin normal again. websites for cosmetic surgery and specific dr's said its for any kind of skin hypopigmentation like older stretch marks. I just was asking for people's personal experiences, i can google the rest.
