Methodology

  • Participants: 17 women with stretch marks and skin types IV and V, with 34 treated areas.
  • Protocol: 6 weekly TriPollar radiofrequency sessions.
  • Variables: standardized photographs assessed by two blinded dermatologists, surface smoothness with a UVA light camera, weight, abdominal contour, and satisfaction.
  • Follow-ups: 1 and 6 weeks after the last session.

Results

  • At one week, 38.2% of the areas improved by between 25% and 50%, and 11.8% by between 51% and 75%.
  • At 6 weeks, the improvement was greater: 26.5% improved by between 51% and 75%, and 5.9% by more than 75%.
  • 88% reported being satisfied or very satisfied: 65% very satisfied and 23% satisfied.
  • 70.6% described the treatment as very comfortable or extremely comfortable.
  • No adverse effects were reported.

Relationship with TriPollar POSE Vx

The study was conducted with a professional device, but it uses the same TriPollar multi-radiofrequency technology as TriPollar POSE Vx, which heats the dermis evenly and stimulates collagen remodeling. The results of this study correspond to the in-office device.

Conclusiones

The study concludes that TriPollar radiofrequency is a promising alternative for improving the appearance of stretch marks, even in darker skin tones, with improvements that continue to increase weeks after treatment.

TriPollar POSE Vx complements your regular skincare routine, as well as cosmetic and medical aesthetic treatments.
