Stretch marks are a common part of life and something many of us experience at some point, whether from pregnancy, growth spurts, weight fluctuations, or muscle gain. While they’re completely natural and nothing to be ashamed of, it's also okay to want smoother, more even-looking skin. At Baker Functional Aesthetics in San Diego, we offer cutting-edge stretch mark treatments to help you feel confident in your skin again.
What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks, or striae, are small tears in the skin's deeper layers that occur when the skin is stretched rapidly. This can happen during pregnancy, puberty, weight gain, or intense bodybuilding. They often start out red, purple, or dark brown, depending on your skin tone, and over time, they fade to a silvery or lighter color. While they don’t usually cause any pain or health concerns, they can be a cosmetic concern for many.
Can Stretch Marks Be Treated?
Yes – and today’s technologies are more effective than ever. While it’s unlikely that stretch marks will disappear completely, the right treatment can significantly reduce their appearance, improve skin texture, and boost your confidence. At Baker Functional Aesthetics, we use advanced non-invasive treatments designed to support collagen production and promote skin regeneration.
Effective Stretch Mark Treatments in San Diego
Here are some of the top treatments we offer for minimizing stretch marks:
1. Exion Fractional RF
Exion Fractional Radiofrequency is one of the newest and most exciting technologies in aesthetic medicine. It combines monopolar RF energy with targeted ultrasound to penetrate deep into the skin without damaging the surface. This promotes collagen and elastin remodeling, key for improving the appearance of stretch marks. The treatment is gentle and requires minimal downtime. We offer Exion treatments to promote skin health rejuvenation in San Diego.
2. EmTone
Stretch marks are often associated with loose or weakened skin. EmTone uses radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy to tighten and firm the skin. While it's commonly used for cellulite, it’s also highly effective for improving the texture around stretch marks.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your journey starts with a personalized consultation where we’ll evaluate your skin and recommend the best treatment plan for your needs. Most of our stretch mark treatments are quick, comfortable, and require little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity after some sessions, but this usually fades within a day or two.
Depending on the severity of your stretch marks, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results. Our team will guide you every step of the way and tailor your plan to your goals and lifestyle.
