Benefits for Your Skin
NanoFractional resurfacing may help improve:
- The visible width and texture of stretch marks
- Acne scars and selected other scars
- Crepey skin on the trunk and arms
- Rough or uneven texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
The goal is to make these concerns less noticeable and improve the surrounding skin’s appearance. Stretch marks and scars may soften with treatment, although complete removal is not expected.
How It Works
A fine-pin applicator delivers radiofrequency energy to create small, controlled treatment zones in the skin. This stimulates a healing response and supports collagen and elastin remodeling—the structural fibers that contribute to skin firmness and flexibility.
Because treatment is fractional, areas between the treatment zones are left intact to support healing. Improvements develop gradually as the skin responds over the following weeks.
Understanding Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are a form of scarring associated with changes in the skin’s supporting tissue. They commonly develop during pregnancy, puberty, rapid weight changes, or increases in muscle size. Corticosteroid use can also contribute.
Their color, depth, age, and location influence treatment planning. We assess these characteristics to help you understand the improvement that may be achievable.
The Treatment Experience
Your visit begins with a skin assessment and a review of your medical history, skincare, and previous treatments. We select settings suited to the area and provide comfort measures as appropriate.
You may feel warmth or a prickling sensation as the applicator passes over the skin. Sessions typically last 15–30 minutes, with additional time needed for preparation or larger treatment areas.
NanoFractional radiofrequency can be considered across a range of skin tones. We assess suitability individually, including your history of pigmentation changes and healing.
Results & Recovery
A series is often recommended for progressive improvement. Our treatment plan may include four sessions spaced approximately four to six weeks apart, adjusted according to your skin and response.
Temporary redness, sensitivity, swelling, or a lightly rough texture may follow treatment. Recovery varies with the settings and area treated. We provide a gentle aftercare routine and advise when to resume your usual products, particularly retinoids and exfoliants.
With consistent treatment and appropriate aftercare, the aim is smoother texture and less prominent stretch marks or scars, with results continuing to develop as remodeling progresses.
