I have large and deep stretch marks on my biceps, the armpits and on parts of the chest due to weight lifting. The skin is so thin that it hurts. What can I do?

Dermaneedling the skin of bodybuilders is tricky and painful because they have almost no "cushioning" fat under the skin. Buy a regular 1.5 mm dermaroller and, a 1 mm dermastamp and our 0.1% Tretinoin cream.
Follow more or less the routine I described in this forum thread:

We now also sell an electrically powered "DermaJet" (it basically is an electric dermastamp with adjustable needle length) but unless you have an extensive amount of stretch marks, it is not necessary. A manual dermastamp will do the same job, only it is more laborious because you have to power it yourself with your hand.
