New Technologies Finally Get Rid of Stretch Marks!

If you have ever tried to get rid of stretch marks using Retin-A cream, other topical skin care lotions, or at-home or OTC remedies, you are most likely aware of such products’ frustrating ineffectiveness.

Recently, however, advancements in energy-based technology have provided a number of new treatments designed to get rid of stretch marks. With just a few quick sessions of these incredible treatments, patients are provided with smooth, beautiful skin without the need for surgery.

At SpaMedica GR in Grand Rapids, we offer two of the newest, most innovative, state-of-the-art treatments to get rid of stretch marks, both of which are as effective as they are technologically groundbreaking. In this article, we will discuss how ICON Laser Treatments and Morpheus8 RF Microneedling – both available at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids – get rid of stretch marks.

What Causes Stretch Marks?

The physical stress of pregnancy, puberty, steroid use, or dramatic weight changes is often enough to create tears in the collagen of the dermis. This results in the epidermis developing linear scars known as stretch marks. Stretch marks are nothing to be ashamed of, but many people find them unsightly, and seek out a way to get rid of stretch marks to feel more comfortable in their own skin.

Now, patients who live in the greater Grand Rapids area need only schedule a consultation at SpaMedica GR, and they can learn about the latest technologies we offer to get rid of stretch marks.

ICON Laser System to Get Rid of Stretch Marks

At our Grand Rapids medical spa, we get rid of stretch marks using the Cynosure ICON Aesthetic Laser system. Equipped with the 1540 Fractional Non-ablative laser handpiece, this remarkable treatment has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of stretch marks.

After a series of treatments using the 1540 fractional non-ablative laser handpiece, patient will see significant improvement in stretch marks. In clinical studies, the procedure showed stretch marks improved by as much as 75%, on average.

After penetrating the dermis, the laser is able to get rid of stretch marks by directly stimulating the growth of new collagen; distributing it evenly while simultaneously remodeling dermal scars.

The Cynosure ICON Aesthetic Laser treatment can safely get rid of stretch marks on all skin types, anywhere on the body. This means that anyone who comes to SpaMedica GR now has access to smooth, stretch mark-free skin – all with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

While the Cynosure ICON Aesthetic Laser treatment process is gradual -typically taking between 4 to 8 sessions to carry out- the results are unprecedented. And in as little as 6 months’ time, patients experience a freedom from stretch marks that previously would have been unattainable.

Morpheus8 RF Microneedling to Get Rid of Stretch Marks

At SpaMedica GR in Grand Rapids, we also offer Morphus8 Radiofrequency Microneedling to those who wish to get rid of stretch marks. This state-of-the-art procedure uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency technology to rejuvenate the skin on a deep, cellular level.

Scientifically speaking, Morpheus8 is what is called a “Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device” (SARD). SARDs are used to physically melt fat cells with heat energy, which are subsequently shaped and molded into shapely, youthful contours. But how exactly does Morpheus8 get rid of stretch marks?

Using tiny, incredibly fine, ultra-sharp microneedles, the skin of the treatment area is penetrated to a depth of as much as 4 millimeters – the deepest of any microneedling device on the market. In doing so, the cellular foundation of the skin is improved, stimulating the production of the collagen and elastin necessary for stretch marks to heal.
