a breakthrough for skin laxity & stretchmarks
Now let’s talk about the really fun stuff that happens when we age (total sarcasm btw). Skin laxity/ sagginess and/or persistent stretch marks! For women especially these two things seem to happen at any given moment and out of nowhere, leaving us feeling not best selves especially in our swimsuits! Fortunately, at your favorite Akon med spa we have a solution that addresses both: RF microneedling. We talked about RF microneedling previously, but we wanted to really drive home how great it is for the laxity and stretch marks a lot of us have the pleasure of experiencing.
So we know RF microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering RF energy deep into the dermis, triggering collagen and elastin production—the key ingredients for firmer, smoother skin.
One of the standout advantages of RF microneedling is its ability to tighten loose or sagging skin without surgery. Whether it's mild-severe facial skin laxity due to aging or loose abdominal skin post-pregnancy or weight loss, this treatment stimulates your body’s natural healing process. That process results in tighter and more youthful skin over time. The radiofrequency energy penetrates deeper layers than microneedling alone, so this is the piece that really really helps with the lifting and firming effect.
When it comes to stretch marks (let's face it we all got ‘em somewhere!), RF microneedling provides real hope. Stretch marks form when the skin stretches rapidly and the collagen fibers break. By promoting collagen remodeling and improving skin texture, RF microneedling helps reduce the depth and discoloration of stretch marks, especially ones that are on the abdomen, thighs, and hips. Our clients often say that their stretch marks become smoother and less noticeable after just a few sessions, with continued improvement as collagen builds over time.
We also offer a couple products that pair really nicely to specifically help with laxity/stretch marks/cellulite. These are nice because these are a treatment that you can use daily so benefits last longer and you can maintain results in between treatments. (ZO Body Smoothing, Alastin Resorative Neck, Alastin Transform Creme, & Alastin Reform and Repair.)
If you're ready to finally face that skin laxity or reduce stretch marks, RF microneedling is a great and safe choice that is non-invasive solution and provides long-lasting results without surgery.
As always, consult with a certified professional to see if this treatment is right for your skin type and concerns. With consistent sessions and a tailored skincare routine, RF microneedling can be your pathway to firmer, more confident skin.
