What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks are markings that often appear on the skin during periods of rapid growth or weight gain. When the skin stretches too quickly, the collagen and elastin fibers that support it can break, resulting in stretch marks. There are many different types of stretch marks, each with its own causes and characteristics. Some are permanent while others fade over time. At the time of development, they usually appear pink, red, purple, or dark brown depending upon the skin colour.
Why do we get them?
Stretch marks are a common occurrence, especially for women. They can happen during puberty, pregnancy, or even weight gain. While they may be a cosmetic issue for some, others may find them to be a source of insecurity. Stretch marks are not just a problem for women. Men can also get them, especially if they are overweight or as a result of bodybuilding training and muscle gain. These marks tend to fade over time, but for some people, they may never completely disappear.
What are the most common areas for stretch marks?
The most common areas for stretch marks are the stomach, thighs, buttocks, hips, and breasts. Stretch marks are most likely to occur in areas where the skin is stretched beyond its normal capacity.
Which RF microneedling is best for stretch marks?
There are many types of RF microneedling available on the market today, so it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. RF Radiofrequency Microneedling is the best as it’s a new standard in micro-needling, and it offers many benefits for those looking to improve the appearance of their skin.
What is RF radiofrequency microneedling skin rejuvenation procedure and how it works?
Microneedling is also called skin needling or collagen induction therapy. It refers to a treatment that stimulates your body to produce collagen and elastin.
RF is a wave, a form of energy, that is not light-based like a laser. This energy has the ability to heat the skin down to the deeper layer which enhances the effects of standard microneedling.
In contrast to RF Microneedlig does not deliver radio frequency into the deeper layer.
Radio frequency microneedling is a new advanced method of skin rejuvenation in microneedling. It is suited for a broad range of skin tightening and tone improvement on all skin types & colours.
It uses radiofrequency energy with ultrafine needles that deliver heat into the collagen fibres causing thermal damage and stimulating a wound healing response, that tightens deeper layers of skin and not just the surface layer.
This stimulates the body’s natural healing process to encourage collagen production in the dermis which can benefit common skin issues.
Skin health depends on collagen and elastin, and their production decreases with age.
This process stimulates the repair process for scarring and increases your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin resulting in improvements in skin laxity.
RF can help improve the appearance of both superficial and deep skin conditions. This includes skin rejuvenation on advanced signs of aging, loose facial skin, open pores, brighten dull skin or lacklustre skin, stretch marks, lines & deep wrinkles, or acne scarring.
Using this treatment, you can achieve firmer, clearer, blemish-free, more lifted skin through the regeneration of collagen and elastin.
Can Radiofrequency Microneedling help remove stretch marks?
Yes, Potenza Radiofrequency Microneedling is a new, minimally-invasive procedure that is a great solution to remove stretch marks. This procedure uses tiny needles to create micro-wounds in the skin, which in turn stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin.
When to expect results after the treatment?
A series of treatments may be necessary to see optimal results, but many patients are reporting a significant improvement in the appearance of their stretch marks after just a few sessions.
This treatment helps your natural skin tone normalise.
After treatment, you will notice an immediate decrease in the appearance of your stretch marks, a reduction in the appearance of pores, and an overall improvement in the skin texture.
Since the elastin and collagen typically take 4-6 weeks to build up after treatment, depending on the skin concerns, for the best results we recommend a minimum of 2-6 treatments, at 4-6week intervals.
Is there downtime needed after the RF Microneedling treatment?
There is little to no downtime needed after the Potenza Radiofrequency Microneedling treatment. You may experience some redness and swelling, but this should subside within a few hours. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
