Who Can Benefit
Stretch marks are scars in the deeper skin. Matrix RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy into the marks through fine needles, which remodels the scarred tissue and builds new collagen and elastin, so the marks become smoother and blend better with the surrounding skin.
- Older white or silver stretch marks
- Newer red or purple marks
- Marks with a wrinkled or uneven texture
- Marks on the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms or breasts
Matrix RF microneedling improves texture most. For colour, PicoWay laser often helps, and collagen biostimulators or skin boosters add collagen support. We usually combine treatments for the best result.
We postpone treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or on broken or infected skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can stretch marks be removed completely?
No treatment removes them fully. Matrix RF microneedling makes them smoother and less visible.
Do old stretch marks respond?
Yes. Matrix RF microneedling is one of the better options for older white marks, though they usually need more sessions.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 3 to 5, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Does it hurt?
We apply numbing cream first. Most patients feel warmth and light prickling.
Is there downtime?
The area may look pink for a few days. Avoid tight clothing over the treated area for a day or two.
How long do results last?
Typically 12 to 18 months or more. Treated marks do not return, though new ones can form with further stretching.
Matrix RF microneedling also treats other skin concerns. See the full overview on our Matrix RF Microneedling page.
