How Many Stretch Mark Treatment Sessions Are Required for Noticeable Results?

At Spencer Wellness Centre, we can reduce stretch marks through fractional plasma energy, sometimes called radiofrequency treatment. This procedure can remove damaged layers of skin to reveal newer, healthier-looking skin underneath. Nurse practitioner Linda Spencer may recommend 3 – 5 sessions for visible results, but additional appointments may be done for those with deep stretch marks.

So, what causes stretch marks, and how does plasma energy reduce their appearance? Call now for an appointment in Indianapolis, IN. We'll discuss answers to these questions and more.

What causes stretch marks?

Many of our patients want to know what causes stretch marks in the first place. Unfortunately, stretch marks can be caused by factors that are out of our control. These include genetics, pregnancy, sudden weight gain or loss, and even hormone fluctuations.

Stretch marks show up when the skin is stretched too quickly, causing it to tear and leave behind a scar. This can happen during puberty, pregnancy, or periods of rapid weight gain. While they may fade over time, stretch marks can be lasting and difficult to treat on your own. Over-the-counter products can only do so much for stretch mark removal.

How does plasma energy reduce stretch marks?

Plasma energy works by targeting the damaged layers of skin where stretch marks are located. The heat from the treatment helps stimulate collagen production. As new collagen forms, it smoothes out stretch marks and improves overall skin texture. Additionally, radiofrequency treatment can help tighten and firm the skin, giving it a more youthful look.

Benefits of fractional plasma energy for stretch marks

At Spencer Wellness Centre in Indianapolis, IN, we have seen fantastic results with fractional plasma energy for reducing the appearance of stretch marks. Some of the benefits include:

• Noninvasive treatment: Unlike other procedures, fractional plasma energy does not require surgery or injections, making it a safe option.
• Minimal downtime: With only some redness and swelling after each session, there's no need for a long recovery period. Our patients resume their day-to-day activities after their appointments.
• Long-lasting results: While individual results vary, many people see noticeable improvements after just a few sessions. Results can last for several years with proper maintenance and a consistent skin care routine.
• Versatility: Treatment can be used on different areas of the body, including the stomach, thighs, arms, and buttocks. This makes it a versatile option for stretch mark removal.

How many sessions are needed for visible results?

As mentioned, Linda may suggest 3 – 5 sessions to get visible results at Spencer Wellness Centre, but this varies depending on the severity of stretch marks. Some patients require additional appointments for more stubborn or deep stretch marks. During a consultation, we can assess your skin and create a custom radiofrequency treatment plan to achieve optimal results.
