At Ribe Clinic we have all the latest technologies to perform aesthetic medical treatments to remove or attenuate stretch marks.
Thus, for stretch marks removal we perform fractional subablative radiofrequency treatment, whether for recent (red striae) or whitish atrophic (white striae). It is a new line of safe and effective medical technology based on radiofrequency applied with a matrix.
The medical device is called E-matrix (by Syneron Candela).
The radiofrequency energy is applied precisely on the lines of stretch mark (white or red striae) with a hand piece that has a matrix. By emitting radiofrequency through this matrix, the energy penetrates the skin (papillary and reticular dermis) creating treatment columns and leaving a healthy skin around the columns that is not affected. Thus, we have an area that we treat and another that does not, which is in charge of accelerating the skin repair process creating new tissue of better quality.
The production of collagen and elastin and healthy skin cells is progressively activated. The stretch marks become narrower, the skin more trophic due to a higher quality collagen, so that the stretch marks are less apparent. In addition, the texture of the skin becomes softer and more elastic.
Fractional radiofrequency treatment to remove stretch marks is a safe and effective solution for all skin types. It is important to make a medical visit to evaluate your case and be in expert hands in this technology.
It will depend on the type of stretch marks to be removed. The usual protocol in the treatment for stretch marks removal is 5 sessions: 1 session every 3-4 weeks. It is common to combine this treatment with others such as Fraxel 1550nm laser and carboxytherapy.
Anesthetic cream is applied 1 hour before in the area to be treated. During the treatment to remove stretch marks, which lasts about 15 minutes, there is slight discomfort that patients describe as “small punctures” or a very tolerable stinging heat.
After the treatment for stretch marks removal, the skin shows edema (mild swelling) and erythema (mild redness) similar to mild sunburn. A soothing and restorative cream is applied twice a day for 3-4 days. Routine and social life resumes within a few hours.
After the first session of this treatment for stretch marks removal, at 10-15 days, there is already an improvement in the depth and width of stretch marks and a higher quality skin. These results increase as more sessions are done.
It is important to make a visit with the doctor who will evaluate our type of stretch marks (white or red striae) and assess the degree of them and the factors that cause them. Thus, we can define a specific treatment to try to eliminate stretch marks that may consist of a technique, or more frequently, in the combination of several.
Dr. Adriana Ribé recommends a personalized treatment protocol after a precise skin diagnosis, which is usually about 5 sessions, 1 session every 3-4 weeks. It is common to combine this treatment with others such as Fraxel 1550nm laser and carboxytherapy.
The treatment requires applying anesthetic cream to prevent possible discomfort 1 hour before the session.When finished, the skin looks rosy and we notice a sensation of heat that disappears in a few hours. You can make up if desired and resume social life immediately.
