How the treatment works
Microneedling with radiofrequency uses controlled micro-injury to the skin to encourage remodeling of collagen and elastin where stretch marks form. The process targets the dermal layer beneath the visible mark; treatment depth and energy are adjusted to the mark’s texture and age, so results depend on individual skin response rather than any single device or guaranteed outcome.
During a session you can expect topical numbing and a focused treatment over the area being addressed. Appointments are designed to be efficient for downtown schedules; each session is 60 minutes. Price is $566.66 per session after package purchase, and the staff will review comfort, expected downtime, and realistic goals before starting.
What affects final results
Several variables shape how much change you’ll notice: the age and color of the stretch marks, your skin’s natural healing response, hormonal factors, and the number of treatments completed. Older, white stretch marks typically respond differently than newer, red or purple marks, and multiple sessions are often needed for incremental improvement.
Local lifestyle factors matter too. Baltimore’s humid summers and routine sun exposure at the Inner Harbor mean sun protection and skin care between sessions influence healing. Many clients value clear guidance from our team on timing and expectations; some who chose RF microneedling methods reported visible improvement but not uniform results for every mark.
Preparing and aftercare steps
Before treatment we review medical history, recent skin procedures, and topical products so we can tailor the plan. Come with clean skin and avoid heavy lotions on the treatment day. Expect staff to discuss realistic goals and follow-up scheduling; bringing questions about recovery and work or social plans helps us align timing with your calendar.
Aftercare typically focuses on protecting the treated skin from sun, using gentle cleansers, and following any specific instructions we provide. Sessions are brief enough to fit into a downtown schedule, convenient for clients working near Harbor East who want treatment before dinner or evening plans. We’ll confirm follow-up intervals at your appointment.
