RF microneedling helps reduce stretch marks and scarring by boosting collagen and improving skin texture. Dr. Christos Zouzias at MDCS Dermatology recommends it for patients seeking a safe, effective treatment with minimal downtime.
Stretch marks and scars are common skin concerns that can impact confidence, regardless of age or skin type. At MDCS Dermatology, Christos Dimitris Zouzias, MD, MBA offers insight into one of the most promising non-surgical treatments: RF Microneedling.
What Is RF Microneedling?
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate deeper layers of the skin. This process promotes collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture, reduce scar visibility, and fade stretch marks.
How It Helps with Stretch Marks and Scarring
-
Stimulates collagen to smooth uneven texture
-
Reduces redness and pigmentation in newer marks
-
Improves firmness and elasticity
-
Safe for most skin types with minimal downtime
Dr. Zouzias emphasizes that this treatment is especially effective for acne scars, post-surgical scars, and stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
What to Expect
-
Treatment time: ~30–60 minutes
-
Downtime: Mild redness for 1–2 days
-
Sessions needed: 3–4 sessions for optimal results
Most patients notice a gradual improvement in texture and tone over several weeks as collagen remodeling takes place.
