IPL treatment may lessen redness

IPL for stretch marks?

Does IPL work for stretch marks? I'm currently using Retin-A and not seeing the stretch lines disappearing?  Maybe a bit lighter, but the lines are still really visible.

IPL treatment may lessen the redness in your stretch marks (if they are still red). If your stretch marks have lost pigmentation or if the skin has thinned out, IPL treatment will not help. There are other solutions, but you will need to consult with your dermatologist.
