Stretch Mark Treatment
Stretch marks are dermal tears caused by rapid stretching during growth, pregnancy or weight change. Treatment combines RF microneedling to remodel collagen with skin boosters or diluted collagen stimulators to improve texture. Red, newer marks respond best; older white marks can be softened but not erased.
What is Stretch Mark Treatment?
A realistic plan focuses on making marks flatter, narrower and closer to surrounding skin tone over several sessions.
