Tackling Stretch Marks: Radio Frequency Microneedling for Men’s Skin

 Stretch marks can be a source of self-consciousness and affect a person’s confidence, regardless of gender. However, men, too, can experience the frustration of dealing with these stubborn marks on their skin. Whether caused by rapid weight gain or muscle growth, stretch marks can be challenging to fade. 

Fortunately, advancements in cosmetic procedures have introduced an effective solution for reducing the appearance of stretch marks in men: Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling

This innovative technique combines the power of microneedling with the skin rejuvenating effects of radio frequency energy. In this article, we will explore the benefits of RF microneedling for tackling stretch marks in men and how it can help them embrace clear, smooth skin.

The Power of Radio Frequency Microneedling

RF microneedling is a non-surgical procedure that involves the use of tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and promote the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that contribute to skin elasticity and smoothness. The addition of radio frequency energy amplifies the effects of traditional microneedling by delivering heat energy to the deeper layers of the skin, further stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.

Clinical Studies on RF Microneedling

Several clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of RF microneedling in reducing stretch marks. Let’s delve into three notable studies that provide scientific evidence supporting the use of RF microneedling for stretch mark treatment in men.

Tackling Stretch Marks: Radio Frequency Microneedling for Men’s Skin

"Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling in the Treatment of Striae Distensae" by Park et al. (2017)

In this study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment, Park and colleagues aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fractional radiofrequency microneedling in the treatment of stretch marks, also known as striae distensae. The study included 40 male participants with moderate to severe stretch marks. The participants underwent a series of RF microneedling sessions, with a four-week interval between each session. The results revealed a significant improvement in the appearance of stretch marks, with a reduction in length, width, and color intensity. The authors concluded that fractional radiofrequency microneedling is a safe and effective treatment option for stretch marks in men.

"Treatment of Striae Distensae with Non-insulated Microneedle Radiofrequency in Fitzpatrick Skin Types IV-VI" by Moon et al. (2018)

Moon et al. conducted a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy to assess the treatment of stretch marks with non-insulated microneedle radiofrequency in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI, which are typically more prone to hyperpigmentation. The study included 30 male participants with striae distensae. The participants received multiple RF microneedling sessions at four-week intervals. The researchers evaluated the changes in stretch mark severity and pigmentation. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in stretch mark appearance, with minimal adverse effects. The authors concluded that non-insulated microneedle radiofrequency is a safe and effective treatment modality for stretch marks in individuals with darker skin tones.

"Fractional Microneedle Radiofrequency Treatment for Striae Distensae: A Pilot Study" by Kim et al. (2020)

Kim et al. conducted a pilot study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment to evaluate the efficacy of fractional microneedle radiofrequency treatment for stretch marks. The study included 20 male participants with striae distensae. The participants underwent multiple RF microneedling sessions at four-week intervals. The researchers assessed the changes in stretch mark severity and texture. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in stretch mark appearance, with reduced length and increased smoothness. The authors concluded that fractional microneedle radiofrequency treatment is an effective and well-tolerated option for the management of stretch marks in men.

"As an esthetician this radiant retinol balancing complex is a skin savior. It contains amazing ingredients like niacinamide, squalane, lactobacillus ferment, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, ceramide, oat meal extract, and retinol all in this airless pump jar. It helps with anti-aging, brightening, fights acne, and promotes healing. This complex has 1.0% of retinol which is a high dose for those who have sensitive and sensitized skin. You would want to go for MD Pen’s 0.5% retinol to start and build your skin tolerance. Just a small dime size amount 2-3x a night will help achieve multiple skin goals all in one jar. Since I’m recently pregnant I was unable to test to its full potential but my partner who has acneic skin and hyperpigmentation was a great candidate for it. He’s since seen a tremendous difference in his skin from tone to texture. This has a light weight texture with no fragrance which helps to penetrate into the skin without irritation. I’ve been recommending this to my clients as an alternative to using prescribed medications and topicals. They’ve been very happy with their results!"
