Stretch Mark Solutions That Work: RF Microneedling & Laser Resurfacing

Stretch marks—nearly everyone has them, yet so many of us wish we didn’t. Whether they appeared after pregnancy, weight loss, a growth spurt, or simply due to genetics, these silvery or reddish lines are a natural part of skin evolution. And while they’re completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of, it’s also completely valid to want smoother, firmer skin that reflects how confident you feel inside.

At Platinum Sculpt, we believe your skin should empower you—not hold you back. That’s why we offer real, evidence-based treatments that go far beyond drugstore creams or trendy oils. Our non-surgical approach to stretch mark reduction combines two of the most advanced technologies in medical aesthetics: GeniusRF Microneedling and the ULTRA™ Skin Resurfacing Laser.

Together, these devices don’t just mask stretch marks—they actively stimulate collagen, improve texture, and even out discoloration from the inside out. Whether you’re a new mom navigating postpartum skin or you’ve recently shed weight and want to celebrate your results, we have personalized treatments designed to meet you exactly where you are in your transformation.

Platinum Sculpt is proud to be the only provider of the TotalSkin Solution—a powerful combo of GeniusRF and ULTRA™—in Lexington and Bowling Green, KY. These treatments are safe for all skin types, require minimal downtime, and offer lasting results that truly change the look and feel of your skin.

Understanding Stretch Marks

What Causes Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks—medically known as striae—occur when the skin stretches too quickly for its underlying structure to keep up. This often happens during periods of:

  • Pregnancy
  • Rapid weight gain or loss
  • Puberty growth spurts
  • Muscle building or body recomposition

When the skin is forced to expand rapidly, the collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis tear, resulting in visible streaks that may start out red or purple and eventually fade to white or silver. They often appear on the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, arms, or lower back—and while they’re completely harmless, they can be a source of insecurity for many.

It’s important to understand that stretch marks aren’t caused by poor skincare—they’re the result of internal changes in your skin’s structural support system.

Why Topical Creams Often Don’t Work

Most people try to treat stretch marks with over-the-counter creams or oils. While some ingredients (like retinol or hyaluronic acid) can slightly improve hydration and texture, they don’t address the root cause.

Here’s why:

  • Topical products only affect the outer layer of skin (epidermis)
  • Stretch marks form in the dermis, the deeper layer responsible for collagen and elasticity
  • Without stimulating change below the surface, improvement is usually minimal

That’s why professional treatments like GeniusRF Microneedling and the ULTRA™ Laser are so effective—they penetrate deep into the dermis to rebuild collagen, smooth texture, and fade discoloration from the inside out.

GeniusRF Microneedling for Stretch Marks

When it comes to real stretch mark improvement, GeniusRF Microneedling is a true game-changer. It’s one of the most advanced technologies in skin rejuvenation—and it’s exclusive to Platinum Sculpt in Lexington and Bowling Green.

What It Is

GeniusRF combines the collagen-boosting power of microneedling with the tissue-tightening benefits of radiofrequency (RF) energy. This dual-action treatment delivers heat below the skin’s surface while creating tiny micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing response.

The result? Stronger, firmer, smoother skin—with visibly reduced stretch marks over time.

How It Works

During treatment, ultra-fine gold-plated needles create microscopic channels in the skin while simultaneously delivering controlled RF energy deep into the dermis. This process:

  • Stimulates new collagen and elastin production
  • Breaks down scar tissue and encourages remodeling
  • Visibly fades red, purple, and white stretch marks
  • Tightens lax skin, improving texture and tone

Unlike traditional microneedling or surface-only lasers, GeniusRF goes deeper—where real change happens.

Why It’s Effective

  • Customizable Depth & Energy Levels: Treatments are fully tailored to your skin tone, texture, and stretch mark severity
  • Safe for All Skin Tones: No risk of hyperpigmentation—safe for Fitzpatrick I–VI
  • Full Skin Rejuvenation: Firms loose skin, smooths texture, and improves elasticity in the treatment area

GeniusRF is especially effective for stretch marks that have become indented or textural, delivering visible smoothing and tightening with just a few sessions.

Treatment Areas

We can treat stretch marks on nearly any part of the body, including:

  • Abdomen (postpartum or post-weight loss)
  • Hips & Flanks
  • Thighs & Buttocks
  • Upper Arms
  • Breasts & Chest

Each area is evaluated during your consultation so we can customize a plan to your body’s unique needs and goals.

ULTRA™ Skin Resurfacing for Discoloration & Texture

While stretch marks often start as raised or red, they frequently fade to a pale white or silvery tone—but the texture and pigmentation can still be frustrating. That’s where ULTRA™ Laser Skin Resurfacing comes in—a next-generation, non-invasive treatment that targets discoloration, evens tone, and revitalizes dull or scarred skin.

What It Is

ULTRA™ is a non-ablative, fractional laser—meaning it doesn’t damage the top layer of your skin while still delivering powerful results. It gently resurfaces skin by stimulating new cell growth and promoting collagen renewal, all while being safe for all skin tones and usable all year round.

Best of all, it’s exclusively available at Platinum Sculpt, making us the only provider in Lexington and Bowling Green offering this advanced treatment.

How It Works

ULTRA™ works by creating thousands of tiny micro-channels in the skin, which trigger:

  • Cellular turnover to renew dull, damaged tissue
  • Pigment correction for red, pink, or white stretch marks
  • Collagen remodeling to improve elasticity and tone

Because it’s non-ablative, you’ll enjoy a quick recovery with minimal redness and flaking—no harsh peeling or downtime required.

Best For:

  • Red or White Stretch Marks: Whether new or old, ULTRA™ helps fade the color and blend marks into your natural skin tone
  • Postpartum Skin Dullness: Great for new moms looking to revive tired skin and treat stretch marks in the abdomen or breasts
  • Texture + Pigment Combo Concerns: For anyone dealing with uneven tone and rough patches, this laser checks both boxes

ULTRA™ can be used on its own or paired with GeniusRF Microneedling as part of our exclusive TotalSkin Solution—for dramatic, full-spectrum skin restoration.

What to Expect: Treatment Timeline & Results

Stretch mark transformation takes time—but with the right technology and expert care, the results are worth every session. At Platinum Sculpt, we make the process comfortable, customized, and highly effective from start to finish.

Your Journey Starts with a Personalized Consultation

Every body—and every stretch mark—is different. That’s why we begin with a complimentary consultation to:

  • Evaluate your skin tone, stretch mark depth, and treatment areas
  • Determine the best combination of GeniusRF and/or ULTRA™
  • Customize settings for depth, intensity, and spacing
  • Discuss realistic expectations and build your ideal treatment timeline

We’ll also take baseline photos to track your progress and show visible improvement over time.

Treatment Plan: How Many Sessions Do You Need?

Most clients see the best results with a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart. This allows your skin to fully heal and regenerate collagen between sessions while building on each round of improvement.

Results are cumulative—each treatment builds on the last, gradually smoothing texture, fading discoloration, and tightening skin.

Downtime & Aftercare

Recovery is minimal and manageable. After each session, you can expect:

  • Mild redness or tenderness for 24–72 hours
  • A sensation similar to a sunburn
  • Possible light flaking or dryness (especially after ULTRA™)

You’ll be given detailed aftercare instructions and product recommendations to protect and nourish your skin between visits.

When Will You See Results?

Some clients begin to see changes in as little as 2–3 weeks, with continued improvement over the course of your treatment plan. The full results—including firmer texture, more even tone, and visibly faded stretch marks—develop over 3–6 months, especially if Sculptra or Radiesse is used in combination.

Smooth, Strong, and Confident

Stretch marks are a natural part of life—but so is taking control of how you feel in your skin. Whether you’ve recently gone through pregnancy, experienced significant weight loss, or simply want to reclaim confidence in your body, you deserve effective, medically proven solutions.

At Platinum Sculpt, we don’t just offer stretch mark treatments—we deliver real, lasting improvement using the most advanced skin technologies available. Our GeniusRF Microneedling and ULTRA™ Skin Resurfacing treatments are designed to restore collagen, smooth texture, and reduce discoloration with minimal downtime and maximum results.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about feeling empowered every time you look in the mirror.
