PRP for Stretch Marks and Body Scarring

PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps to rebuild the dermal structure, improving skin texture and firmness. Over time, increased cell turnover can also help blend discoloured or white stretch marks more evenly with the surrounding skin.

Yes, combining PRP with microneedling (known as the "vampire facial" or laser resurfacing can enhance results. Microneedling creates micro-injuries to promote collagen, while PRP accelerates the healing and regeneration process for deeper scar repair.

PRP tends to yield faster and more visible results on newer stretch marks, which are still red or purple (inflammatory phase). Older, white stretch marks may still improve in texture and depth, but may require more sessions or combination therapies.

PRP is effective on common areas like the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and breasts. Areas with thinner skin (e.g., underarms) may respond differently, so a professional assessment helps determine the best treatment zones.

After treatment, avoid sun exposure, vigorous exercise, and skincare products with retinoids or acids for at least 48–72 hours. Keeping the area clean and moisturized is key to supporting optimal healing and collagen formation.
