We have had some success using lasers and micro-needling with radiofrequency. However, we can not say that we "get rid" of them. Complete resolution of stretch marks is still something of a challenge in cosmetic medicine.

Non surgical treatment of stretchmarks are fractional resurfacing lasers and/or microneedling procedures. There are surgical ways to remove stretchmarks depending on where on the body they are located. For example, if they are located on the lower abdomen a tummy tuck may remove some of the scars.

One way to address stretch marks is with the RegenLite Laser (also known as the N Lite Laser). It is a pulsed dye laser. The treatments are painless and there is no down time. It usually requires 4 treatments a month apart.
