How many sessions are needed?
The above photo shows a result after only one MCA needling session, so shows what is possible. We find darker skin types respond quicker in terms of pigment stimulation. It isn’t possible to predict how anyone’s skin will respond to treatment, and it depends on the texture of the stretch marks as to how many sessions are needed. If the stretch marks are deeper or raised compared to the surrounding skin, or are a little “wrinkly”, then a few sessions are usually needed to smooth them out, ready for inking if required. If the stretch marks are fairly flat but are perhaps shiny / silvery, then maybe 1-2 sessions might be needed. Everyone is different so we have to play it by ear and see how the skin heals after each session of MCA dry needling.
