Has anyone had a collagen lift on their body (not face)

I see a lovely lady for various treatments; originally sports related as she is a massage therapist, but then over time have had other things such as regular massages, facials etc.
She has recently done a course on collagen lifts and has the machine etc. She's lovely, I trust her, she's not based in a salon.

She has shown me photos of collagen lift before/after and on the face it is noticeably different after 6 treatments.

She says she can do this on the body too, and has shown me before and afters of eg underarm or stomach. My stomach is destroyed- three big pregnancies, 2 sections, terrible stretch marks, and then years of avoiding it, plus I've lost weight so now just have crepey, papery skin over my whole abdomen. It is skin, not fat. And i hate it. Now I know the damage is done to some extent- eg. Stretch marks will never go, but she says that the collagen lift will improve the overall tightness, lift the droopy skin, and generally perk up the area.

But it's expensive, and needs 6 treatments over a few weeks. Results then last 'up to' 2 years.

I really don't know if I'm brave enough to do it. My fear is it's totally wasted money. But I have worked so hard to lose weight and exercise and it upsets me that I still have this awful tummy area and it will get worse, not better, over time.

Had anyone ever had it done?

I will add here: I don't expect miracles. I don't spend money on 'beauty' products or treatments (nails, wax, hair etc) and this is a big step for me. I've maintained my weight loss for 18 months now and it's not improved at all in that time.
