What Is Stretch Mark Removal?
Stretch marks are a common skin concern that can develop whenever the skin stretches faster than it can naturally adapt, leaving streaks of red, purple, pink, or brown that usually can't be cleared up with over-the-counter products. At Avalon Laser, we offer stretch mark removal with Vivace® RF microneedling, an advanced skin care technology that improves skin tone and texture by stimulating the body's natural repair process. Vivace combines precision microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to encourage the production of new collagen and elastin beneath the skin's surface, delivering gradual improvements with little to no downtime. Whether your stretch marks developed during pregnancy, after a growth spurt, or because of weight changes, our team can create a personalized care plan designed to help your skin look smoother, healthier, and more even. Learn more about Vivace RF microneedling for stretch mark removal by scheduling a private appointment with our med spa providers in San Diego, Carlsbad, or Encinitas, CA.
How Is Stretch Mark Removal Performed?
Before starting your treatment, a member of our team will apply a topical numbing cream to help reduce any discomfort. Once you're prepared, we'll pass the Vivace RF microneedling handpiece over your skin. A grid of sterile, ultrafine needles creates controlled micro-injuries while simultaneously delivering RF energy to the deeper layers beneath the surface. This dual-action approach stimulates collagen and elastin production at multiple depths, encouraging your body to gradually replace scars and stretch marks with healthier, stronger skin. We'll finish your treatment by applying a nourishing skin serum, which can penetrate more deeply thanks to the newly opened microchannels. Most RF microneedling sessions take no more than an hour, leaving you free to get back to your routine right away.
What Are the Benefits of Stretch Mark Removal?
Although stretch marks are completely normal, they can have a major impact on your confidence. Our stretch mark removal treatments at Avalon Laser work deep within the tissue to gradually improve texture, firmness, and the overall appearance of stretch marks in just a few short sessions, offering benefits such as:
- Reducing the visibility of stretch marks without surgery
- Smoothing uneven skin texture in treated areas
- Improving skin firmness where stretching has occurred
- Creating a more even skin tone and appearance

I had my first microneedling session with Rhea and had such a great experience! She was so kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I had concerns about scarring, and she took the time to address them honestly and explain why multiple sessions would be needed. I also loved that she helped me put together a new skincare routine tailored to my skin. I left feeling informed, confident, and excited to see my results. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions about Stretch Mark Removal
How does Vivace RF microneedling improve stretch marks?
Vivace RF microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries while delivering radiofrequency energy beneath the skin, encouraging your body to produce new collagen and elastin where the stretch marks have developed. As the skin heals itself over time, the treated stretch marks often become smoother, firmer, and more blended with the surrounding skin.
Who is a good candidate for stretch mark treatment?
Vivace RF microneedling is a good option for many healthy adults who would like to improve the appearance of stretch marks caused by pregnancy, weight changes, growth spurts, or muscle development. It can be used on many areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, breasts, and upper arms. Before planning your treatment, we'll assess your skin and learn more about your goals to determine if you're a good candidate for stretch mark removal with Vivace RF microneedling.
How many Vivace RF treatments will I need for stretch marks?
Most clients achieve the best results with a series of treatments spaced out over time. The exact number depends on the age, size, depth, and severity of your stretch marks, as well as how your skin responds to treatment. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan and monitor your progress throughout the process to determine whether additional sessions might be needed.
What does Vivace RF microneedling feel like and is there downtime?
We'll apply a topical numbing cream to your skin before starting each session to minimize any potential discomfort. Most people describe feeling light pressure, warmth, or a mild prickling sensation as the device moves across the skin. Afterward, the treated area may appear pink or slightly swollen for a day or two, similar to a mild sunburn, but most individuals are able to return to their normal routine shortly after their appointment.
How long do stretch mark treatment results last?
Because Vivace RF microneedling encourages your skin to rebuild collagen, improvements are often long-lasting. Keep in mind, though, that your skin can still develop new stretch marks if it undergoes significant changes in the future. We may recommend occasional maintenance treatments to support skin quality over time.
