Stretch marks can be a stubborn and frustrating skin concern, often appearing after weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or growth spurts. At Sunder Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. Sarmela Sunder offers an advanced solution with Morpheus8. This non-invasive treatment merges microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) technology to rejuvenate and remodel the skin.
In this blog, we’ll explore how Morpheus8 works and whether it can truly help fade stretch marks for smoother, more confident skin.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is an FDA-approved fractional skin treatment designed to remodel subdermal layers of skin and stimulate collagen production. It uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to penetrate deep into the dermis, promoting skin tightening and regeneration from within. Unlike traditional microneedling, the addition of RF energy makes Morpheus8 more effective in targeting skin laxity and improving texture on both the face and body.
How Morpheus8 Helps Fade Stretch Marks
Stretch marks form when skin stretches rapidly and collagen and elastin fibers are disrupted. Morpheus8 helps address these changes in the following ways:
- Collagen stimulation: The RF energy triggers collagen remodeling, improving the skin's structure and elasticity.
- Skin tightening: Morpheus8 firms loose skin around stretch marks, reducing their visibility.
- Improved skin texture: Microneedling helps smooth rough areas and blend the tone of stretch marks with surrounding skin.
- Reduced redness and discoloration: The treatment minimizes pigmentation irregularities commonly associated with stretch marks.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each Morpheus8 session begins with a topical numbing cream to ensure patient comfort. Once the area is numb, the treatment can take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Patients may feel slight discomfort during the procedure, but it is generally well tolerated.
After the treatment, it's normal to experience mild redness or itching for 24 to 48 hours. Most patients can resume normal activities quickly, as there is little to no downtime required.
When Will You See Results?
Initial improvements may be noticeable as early as one week after treatment. More dramatic and lasting results typically appear within 3 to 4 weeks and continue to develop for up to 6 months as new collagen and elastin form. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal outcomes, especially for older or more pronounced stretch marks.
