STRETCH MARKS
WHAT IS IT?
Stretch Marks also know as striae or striae distension, are a form of scarring on the skin with off-colour hue. Over time they may diminish, but will not disappear completely. Stretch marks are caused by tearing of the dermis during periods of rapid growth of the body, such as during puberty, pregnancy, weight gain or rapid weight loss. Stretch marks are stripes on the skin especially on the abdomen, caused by distension of the skin.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Combining micro needling with radio frequency technology for fractional resurfacing that stimulates collagen production. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. The micro needing tips are coated to protect the skin from harmful damage. This means it is safe for all skin tones. This treatment helps balance out the skin with little to no damage to the dermis and this procedure provides an extremely uniform effect breaking up the damaged skin tissue to remodel into new skin with a less visible stretch mark.
HOW DOES IT WORK OVERALL?
A topical numbing agent is applied to the entire area 60 minutes before the treatment for maximum comfort. The RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin in a controlled manner to build back up the collagen. This treatment helps to improve your skins complexion and texture for a much lighter and more uniform looking skin surface. Patient downtime is extremely minimal and can resume normal routine 2 days post treatment. patients can expect to see pin point scabbing up to a few days after treatment with a sandpaper type texture with mild redness that can last up to a week. Make sure to apply sunscreen to the treated areas for extra protection if you will be exposed to sun.
