About Stretch Mark Treatment
How to Prepare for a Stretch Mark Treatment
During your stretch mark consultation at Natura Medspa, our skincare experts will examine your stretch marks. We will talk about your medical history, current medications, and any recent cosmetic treatments.
Our experts will explain what will happen during the procedure and will give you directions so that you’ll be fully prepared. For instance, we may temporarily alter your current medications, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. This is to minimize inflammation and spot bleeding after the treatment.
Also, if you have a history of acne or cold sore breakouts, please inform us during your consultation. If you notice an active outbreak after your consultation, please let us know so we can reschedule your treatment.
Aftercare
Virtue RF microneedling for stretch marks does not require downtime or a long recovery process. You can go back to your daily routine right after the treatment. The micro injuries created during the treatment might leave the epidermis open for up to 24 hours, making the skin more vulnerable for this period. During this time, avoid your normal skincare routine and do not apply makeup. Sunblock will be vital to ensure protection for the skin.
If you experience slight itching and redness after the procedure, rest assured that this is normal and temporary. These effects typically subside within a few days. However, if you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Alternative and Complementary Treatments
Why limit yourself to radiofrequency microneedling for stretch mark reduction when we offer a huge variety of convenient non-surgical procedures to treat a whole range of cosmetic issues simultaneously? At Natura Medspa, we have the best aestheticians and injectors in South Florida.
Just a few of the common issues we treat include:
- Acne scars

In addition to Virtue RF microneedling, you may benefit from some of our other technologically advanced treatments, such as the Advalight ADVATx® laser or a chemical peel. CoolSculpting is a powerful device that can help remove stubborn fat deposits in the abdomen, flanks, and arms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks, also called striae, are skin abrasions that form when the skin is required to stretch too quickly. They can result from dramatic weight changes, puberty, pregnancy, and certain health conditions.
The dermis is the skin layer where stretch marks often develop. Stretch marks are typically located on areas like the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, breasts, and arms.
How does Virtue RF microneedling work?
The dermis is the skin layer where stretch marks often develop. Virtue RF microneedling uses microneedles and radiofrequency energy to trigger the skin’s healing process. This stimulates collagen and elastin production in the dermis, lessening the appearance of stretch marks, acne scars, oversized pores, and wrinkles.
Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin tissue that allow for deeper penetration of serums, which leads to more effective results. Growth factor serum and micronutrients are administered as part of the stretch mark treatment, further improving skin health.
Am I a good candidate for Virtue RF microneedling for stretch marks?
You might be a good candidate for Virtue RF microneedling for stretch mark removal if you:
- Are in good physical health
- Have realistic aesthetic goals
- Have a positive outlook
However, you might not be the ideal candidate for Virtue RF microneedling if you:
- Have a skin infection
- Are pregnant
- Have anticoagulants as part of your prescription medication
- Are undergoing radiation therapy or chemotherapy
- Have a moderate to severe skin condition
- Are suffering from a cold sore breakout
- Are suffering from an acne breakout
- Have hypertrophic scarring or keloids
Not all stretch marks are permanent. Newer ones (those with colors like red, purple, pink, or reddish-brown) often disappear on their own. During your consultation we will assess your stretch marks to determine the best treatment and timeline.
If the marks become a darker brown or lighter white color over time, you will likely need Virtue RF microneedling to diminish them. However, stretch mark color can also vary based on how they were formed, so it’s best to come in for a personalized evaluation at Natura Medspa.
What happens during a stretch mark treatment?
Before the procedure, a skincare expert will disinfect the stretch mark treatment area. They will apply a topical anesthetic to numb the discomfort from the treatment. The treatment starts with gold-coated microneedles that will penetrate the skin to a specific depth using the Robotic Precision Delivery. The microneedles will emit radiofrequency (RF) energy. After this process, growth factor serum and micronutrients are administered, reducing the stretch marks’ appearance.
In most cases, the procedure only takes 10 to 20 minutes; it depends on the severity of the stretch marks. Skincare experts might apply an additional solution to encourage cell regeneration and a soothing solution to reduce any discomfort.
How much does Virtue RF microneedling for stretch marks cost?
VirtueRF microneedling cost varies depending on the severity of your stretch marks. Our skincare experts will assess the number of sessions needed and the amount of work required to achieve your aesthetic goals; both of these factors can also affect price.
