Stretch Marks whether from pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or muscle gain are a common skin concern that many people wish to improve. While they are completely natural and harmless, their appearance can make some feel self-conscious, especially as summer approaches.
What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks, or striae, occur when the skin stretches rapidly, causing collagen and elastin fibers to break. Over time, these marks can fade from red or purple to a white shade, but they often remain visible on areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms. Since stretch marks form deep within the skin, topical creams alone often fall short in effectively reducing their appearance.
How Matrix RF Treats Stretch Marks
At our office, we offer Matrix RF (Radiofrequency Microneedling), a cutting-edge treatment designed to stimulate collagen production and remodel skin texture for smoother, firmer-looking skin. Here is how it works:
*Radiofrequency Energy: Matrix RF delivers heat energy deep into the skin, encouraging new collagen and elastin production.
* Microneedling Effect: The tiny micro-injuries created during the treatment trigger the body’s natural healing process, improving texture and reducing the depth of stretch marks.
* Progressive Improvement: Over time, as collagen rebuilds, stretch marks become less visible, blending more seamlessly with the surrounding skin.
Why Winter & Spring Are the Best Times to Treat Stretch Marks
If you’re thinking about addressing your stretch marks, now is the ideal time to begin treatment! Here is why:
*Gradual Results: Matrix RF works by stimulating new collagen over time, meaning results improve over several months. Starting now ensures your skin is ready for summer.
*Less Sun Exposure: Post-treatment skin is more sensitive to UV rays. Since people tend to cover up more in cooler months, its easier to avoid direct sun exposure and maximize results.
*Multiple Sessions for Best Results: Stretch mark reduction usually requires a series of treatments, spaced a few weeks apart. Starting now allows for optimal improvement before beach season.
