Stretch marks can be embarrassing. They’re either a sign of a past pregnancy or sudden weight gain. They interrupt the smooth lines of the skin, discoloring it with a series of thin, red, white, or silver stripes.
They look like scars, and while some Moms may refer to them as battle scars, it’s hard to argue that they make anyone look any better in a bikini.
In the past, there was no real way to get rid of stretch marks. Various companies marketed different creams, but they didn’t have much effect. Fortunately, there is now a proven treatment which can help you eliminate stretchmarks.
Meet Morpheus8.
Why do stretch marks form?
When your skin stretches too rapidly the collagen and elastin in the skin breaks. Elastin lets your skin stretch, while collagen fills and plumps it out, providing structure. The loss of collagen and elastin are the same reason why facial skin tends to wrinkle as we age.
Elastin has broken in any place where you see stretch marks.
How does Morpheus8 eliminate stretch marks?
Morpheus8 eliminates stretch marks by prompting your skin to produce more collagen and elastin. It combines microneedling with an RF heat treatment to penetrate up to 8 mm into the skin. Because Morpheus8 is the deepest treatment available, offering an opportunity to stimulate subdermal tissues as well as surface tissues.
This means you can see a visible improvement in your stretch marks within roughly three weeks of your first treatment. It can take one to five treatments to get rid of them, but Morpheus8 can transform big, embarrassing stretch marks into virtually invisible or non-existent stretch marks.
While Morpheus8 is a “microneedling” procedure you shouldn’t feel any pain, thanks to a local anesthetic. After treatment, the treatment area may feel a bit like you got a sunburn.
Is Morpheus8 the right stretch mark treatment for you?
