Can my Stretch Marks be Reduced With Treatment?

Most women experience stretch marks at some point in their life. Although they are a common occurrence, they are difficult to hide. Some people avoid wearing revealing clothing because they are embarrassed by their appearance.

Now Spencer Wellness Centre can reduce these marks through the use of fractional plasma energy (radiofrequency energy). This treatment removes damaged layers of skin and encourages natural collagen production to improve skin elasticity.

Nurse practitioner Linda Spencer understands that you may be feeling self-conscious about your stretch marks. Learn more by scheduling a consultation in Indianapolis, IN. We know how to restore your confidence through simple and noninvasive solutions.

What causes stretch marks?

Stretch marks form when the skin "stretches out" or "shrinks" quickly. The sudden change causes the collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis (middle layer of skin) to tear, leaving behind a discolored scar. Most women develop stretch marks during pregnancy or periods of weight fluctuations, but factors like genetics and some medical conditions also contribute to their formation.

Stretch marks sometimes form in groups, making them difficult to cover up with clothing. Many women wear cover-ups or long pants to keep them hidden. But now there’s no need to feel embarrassed – our team has a new and innovative solution for unwanted stretch marks.

How does fractional plasma energy help?

Spencer Wellness Centre uses fractional plasma energy to remove damaged tissue and reveal a smoother, more toned complexion. Treatment also encourages natural collagen and elastin production deep within the skin.

A consultation is one of the best ways to determine your candidacy for radiofrequency treatment. Nurse practitioner Linda Spencer can examine the stretch marks, discuss your goals, and create a custom plan that involves a specific number of sessions with our team.

Benefits of our innovative treatment in Indianapolis, IN include:

  • Noninvasive procedure
  • No anesthesia required
  • No lengthy downtime or recovery period
  • Natural-looking results
  • Safe for most skin types

What happens during radiofrequency treatment

Spencer Wellness Centre begins the process by leading patients into a comfortable treatment room, where they are seated or placed in a reclining position. You may be asked to remove any clothing or jewelry that could get in the way of the device. Our nurse practitioner then applies a numbing agent to minimize discomfort.

Patients may feel some heat during the radiofrequency procedure, followed by a cooling sensation. The intensity can be adjusted as needed.

Do stretch marks disappear completely?

Some stretch marks may never completely disappear. However, they can be significantly reduced in size and appearance through cutting-edge fractional plasma energy. The final results depend on the severity of the issue and how many appointments are necessary to achieve your goals.

Radiofrequency treatment may not prevent stretch marks from forming in the future, but patients are more than welcome to schedule additional sessions down the road to maintain their results. Spencer Wellness Centre also recommends moisturizing creams and sun protection measures to preserve your newly-treated skin.
