Stretch marks are very common and occur in over 80% of pregnancy. They can occur during growth spurts such as in changes in weight (gain or loss). There are many treatments that are said to treat stretch marks, however in reality only a few treatments work. This video illustrates how a famous Board certified laser and cosmetic dermatologist uses a microneedling radiofrequency device called INFINI to treat stretch marks. Over the years, most Speicalists have moved away from fractional laser devices such as Fractora, Fraxel, Profractional and fractional CO2 resurfacing, and have started to use energy based radiofrequency micro-needling devices. The best and latest (as of early 2016) is a INFINI- a machine made by Lutronic. In fact, skin rolling or derma rollers can be considered as generation one micro-needling- invented nearly two decades ago. Micro-needling and skin rolling work by providing channels of tiny needles that penetrate in to the middle layers of the skin- called the dermal layer. This is a form of non-laser fractional resurfacing. Controlled damage and disruption to the dermal layer remodels stretch marks and scar tissue, and over several treatments, stretch marks start to improve. Second generation microneedling devices include Dermapen. This is better than a rolling mechanism as damage to the surrounding skin is less. Skin needling using Dermapen works as a form of CIT or Collagen Induction Therapy- much like CIT skin needling rollers. Third generation micr
