What is the SKINovative® method for removing stretchmarks?
We have recently updated our program for improving stretchmarks with eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation. eMatrix uses fractionated bi-polar radio frequency to penetrate through the skin--sending more energy beneath the surface of the skin to really maximize collagen production--while keeping the top layer of the skin intact. This is an important factor in why it's safe for all skin types and results in very minimal recovery time.

How many treatments are needed and how soon will I see results?
Generally 3 - 5+ treatments at four to six week intervals will be needed. Newer or thinner stretchmarks may need fewer treatments than older or wider stretchmarks. Clients often start to see results after one or two treatments. Over time and with follow-up procedures, your results will be even more visible as new collagen develops.
Does the treatment hurt?
While pain tolerance is an individual matter, most people tolerate treatments well, and describe the sensation as a slight snap to the skin followed by a heating or “sunburn” sensation. Anesthesia is not needed, post-treatment cold compresses are an option for sensitive areas.

What Are Stretchmarks?
Although stretchmarks resemble scars, they actually are not. Instead, stretchmarks appear the way they do because the upper layer of skin is laying over gaps in the lower layer of skin that have been created by stretched or torn elastin fibers. These unsightly marks often appear following rapid gains in body size that abruptly stretch the skin. Stretchmarks often originally appear as bands of wrinkled skin, starting out as pink, red, or purple streaks, and then later becoming silvery white. Stretchmarks often appear during times of hormonal changes such as puberty or pregnancy. In fact, about half of all women develop them on the abdomen or breasts during pregnancy. Since the tendency to develop stretchmarks appears to be inherited, there is no sure way to prevent them.
Can Stretchmarks be improved?
It is often possible to improve the appearance of stretchmarks. Overall, newer stretchmarks respond better to treatment than stretchmarks that are several years old. In general, some patients respond better than others so it is difficult to determine how much improvement any one individual can achieve. The appearance of the stretchmarks might be improved minimally, or even up to 60% - 80% or better.
