Stretch Marks

Various types of stretch marks can be improved with laser therapy. Those stretch marks that respond best are usually red in color although white stretch marks can be improved in many cases as well.

Dr. Anne Chapas discusses stretch marks in Oprah magazine. "Once stretch marks are white, a fractional nonablative laser (like Fraxel Re:store or Harmony Pixel) is the most effective treatment, says Chapas. It feels like electric zaps on the skin, and calls for prescription-strength ibuprofen and topical anesthetic. Four or five treatments, every six to eight weeks, can improve the texture of stretch marks by 50 percent, at most."
