Treating Stretch Marks with Genius RF Microneedling
by Andy Cheng DirectorHave you
noticed some indented marks in your skin after putting on or losing weight
quickly?
These are
known as stretch marks and they are long, narrow scars that develop when
the skin is stretched too quickly. The abrupt change causes the collagen and
elastin, which support our skin, to rupture. As the skin heals, stretch marks
may appear.
The most common
areas affected include: the abdomen, breasts, hips, flank, buttocks, and
thighs.
Pregnancy,
puberty, and rapid weight gain can all cause stretch marks, which can be a
cosmetic concern.
Treatments for stretch marks
In studies,
applying active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and tretinoin seem to make
early stretch marks less noticeable.
Procedures such as chemical peels, lasers, microdermabrasion, radiofrequency
microneedling can also help to improve the appearance of these stretch
marks.
In our
practice, what we have found effective is combining the latest radiofrequency
microneedling treatment, Genius, with different treatments such as a CO2 skin
resurfacing laser and a collagen-stimulating dermal filler to further improve
your skin texture.
What is Genius?
Genius RF microneedling is an
established radiofrequency microneedling platform as compared to its
predecessor, INFINI. For people unfamiliar with INFINI, it uses microneedles to
deliver a series of tiny punctures to induce controlled damage and
radiofrequency energy into the dermis to kick start neocollagenesis.
How is Genius
different from INFINI, you might ask.
Well, firstly
the needles Genius uses are better designed for easier skin penetration with
less tissue injury. There is also in-built real- time tissue impedance
monitoring, which allows for more precise RF energy delivery for better
results. A real-time feedback mechanism also optimises needle placement and
hence improved RF energy delivery.
Although you
may see some results in a few days, it may take a series of treatments and a
few months to see the optimal result from the treatment as collagen and elastin
take time to develop.
We suggest to
accelerate this skin renewal process by using Radium’s EGF Repair serum. EGF
stands for Epidermal Growth Factor, which is a cell-signalling polypeptide that
helps to stimulate collagen production, to lessen the appearance of the stretch
marks. Radium’s EGF serum also contains a Placenta Extract, which helps to
further fortify the skin barrier and boosts skin elasticity.
Conclusion:
Stretch mark
treatments can be expensive. If you find yourself spending a lot of time and
money without getting any results, seeing a doctor can be helpful, as clinic
procedures have proven to be more effective than topical creams, lotions, and
gels.
