Tackle Stretch Marks With the Pylai Pen (Body Edition)

Stretch marks on hips, thighs, or belly need deeper, patient microneedling—very different from a quick face pass. Here is a body-safe routine that respects your skin barrier.

Depth and Frequency

• Start at 0.75–1.0 mm for most body areas; thicker skin can handle 1.25 mm later.
• Space sessions 4–6 weeks apart; body skin heals slower than face.
• Do not chase bleeding—light pinpoint dots are enough.

Prep Checklist

• Shower first, then fully dry skin.
• Alcohol-wipe the device body and use a fresh cartridge.
• Numbing cream can help for larger zones; remove completely before needling.

Technique Tips

• Work in small rectangles; slow vertical passes, then horizontal.
• Stretch the skin gently with your free hand to keep passes even.
• If you see scratches or streaks, drop pressure immediately.

Aftercare

• Apply a bland, fragrance-free gel or lotion (HA, panthenol).
• Avoid tight clothing, gym, or hot showers for the rest of the day.
• Sunscreen if the area is exposed; fresh marks pigment easily.

What to Expect Over Time

• Month 1: Texture feels smoother; color may look slightly lighter.
• Month 3–4: Lines appear flatter; edges blur.
• Month 6: Cumulative softening, but older silver marks may only partially fade—set expectations.

When to See a Pro

• Very wide, raised, or itchy stretch marks.
• History of keloids.
• If you want to combine with lasers or RF, coordinate timing to avoid irritation overlap.

Slow, steady body sessions plus gentle aftercare beat any one aggressive pass. Respect healing windows and the results will stack.
