What is stretch marks treatment and how does it work?
A stretch mark is a scar that forms when skin stretches or shrinks faster than its collagen can keep up. Our treatment uses INFINI RF microneedling: insulated microneedles deliver radiofrequency heat at a depth your doctor sets, so your skin rebuilds fresh collagen and elastin right where each mark sits. No treatment fully erases a mark, but yours can become much less noticeable.
Stretch marks treatment benefits
- Flatter marks: new collagen fills in and smooths the surface.
- Narrower lines: marks shrink and blend in with the skin nearby.
- Calmer colour: red and purple marks fade towards your skin tone.
- Older marks too: white and silver lines soften, if more slowly.
- Kind to brown skin: insulated needles keep most of the heat below the surface.
- Short recovery: redness for a day or two, then back to normal.
Laser or RF microneedling for stretch marks?
Both can help, and they do different jobs. RF microneedling heats the deeper skin where the mark sits, rebuilding collagen to flatten the line, which is why it is our base treatment. A pico laser mainly evens out colour, so your doctor may add it for red or dark marks. Plain microneedling is a gentler option.
Stretch mark creams vs clinic treatment
Almond oil, cocoa butter, olive oil and vitamin E haven’t worked in studies. Hyaluronic acid or prescription tretinoin cream can help new, red marks a little, with little effect on older white ones, and tretinoin isn’t used in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Clinic treatment works deeper, rebuilding collagen inside the mark, so it suits the marks creams haven’t shifted.
Stretch marks treatment before and after
New collagen keeps forming for about three months after each session, so marks look better and better through the course. Red or purple marks fade in colour and flatten; older white marks turn softer and narrower. A review comparing treatments across many trials ranked radiofrequency among the most effective options. Our patients share their own results in the videos below.

Who shouldn’t have stretch marks treatment?
Treatment waits until after pregnancy and breastfeeding. It also isn’t suitable with a pacemaker or other implanted device, infected or broken skin over the marks, or a history of keloid scarring. Your doctor checks all of this at your free consultation.
Your stretch marks treatment, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor checks the age, colour and depth of your marks.
- Preparation: numbing cream is applied and left to work.
- Treatment: the handpiece moves along each mark, taking 20–40 minutes.
- Course: three to four sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart.
- Review: your doctor compares photos and plans any add-ons.
Results and recovery
Expect redness and slight swelling for a few hours to two days, sometimes with tiny grid marks that fade within days, and most people are back at work the next day. Results keep building for about three months after the course, and they last because the new collagen is your own, though new marks can still form with pregnancy or fast weight change.
Aftercare
- No gym or swimming for 2 days
- Moisturise gently; don’t scratch or scrub
- Keep treated skin out of the sun
- Wear loose, soft clothes for a day
