How much does stretch mark removal cost? Is stretch mark removal laser surgery more expensive than other methods?

The only time stretch marks can be removed is when they are located within the boundries of skin that can be removed.  The most common place for this is in a tummy tuck.  Other than excision, there is no way to get rid of stretch marks.  You can lighten them with IPL lasers but they are not removed.  So save your money and don't waste it in this tough economy on treatments for stretch marks that don't work.
