Is microdermabrasion an option for getting rid of stretch marks?

Microdermabrasion is unlikely to have any significant effect o stretch marks.  There have been varied reviews of the treatment of stretch marks with the Fraxel laser which does stimulate the development of new collagen in the dermis and also helps to improve the pigmentation so they are less noticeable.  It may be worth doing a limited area to see what improvement you may get.
