First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a mild electric current (microgalvanic) to microneedling helps women with white stretch marks feel better about their bodies and quality of life. Sixty-one women aged 20–35 received 10 weekly sessions of either microneedling alone or microneedling plus the current. Researchers measured changes in body satisfaction, quality of life, and skin appearance using questionnaires and photos.
