Stretch Mark Removal Explained: What Really Works and Why

Stretch marks—affectionately known as ‘tiger stripes’—are like little souvenirs from life’s big (and sometimes unexpected) moments. Puberty, pregnancy, gym gains, weight loss, medications, medical conditions—you name it, they can all leave their mark. Literally.

Medically known as striae, these marks occur when the skin stretches quickly, causing tiny tears in the dermis (that’s the middle layer of your skin). And while they’re perfectly normal and incredibly common, we totally get it—sometimes you just want to de-stripe.

So if you’re done with miracle creams that do nothing for stretch mark removal  and TikTok tricks that lead nowhere, let’s talk about what really works: Fractional Laser and Radiofrequency Microneedling. 

 Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines the collagen-inducing power of traditional microneedling with the added benefits of radiofrequency energy. Tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin, while delivering heat deep into the dermis. The result? A serious boost in collagen production and skin tightening.

Why RF microneedling works wonders for stretch marks:

 It stimulates both collagen and elastin at deeper levels than microneedling alone.

• The radiofrequency energy helps tighten loose skin and reduce the depth of stretch marks.
• It’s highly effective on both fresh and older stretch marks, including on areas like the stomach, thighs, and hips.
•  Minimal downtime – just some redness and warmth for a day or two.

It’s one of the most advanced skin rejuvenation treatments available—and clients love the smoother, firmer skin they see after just a few sessions.

 Deep stimulation: Both treatments go beyond the surface to actually repair the skin from within.
Real results: Red or purple stretch marks (striae rubra) respond quickly, while older white/silver marks (striae alba) fade over time.
Minimal downtime: Most people experience mild redness, but are back to their usual routine in no time.
Long-lasting improvement: With a course of treatments, many clients see visible reduction in the appearance of stretch marks.

Both treatments can be used in combination: for total results! If the clinician feels it warrants it a combination of both treatments could be recommended.

Yes, we know it sounds too good to be true, but the bottom line (or should we say lines ) is this: it works.

Most clients start seeing a real difference after 3–6 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart.
