Stretch mark improvement tends to be mild with Fraxel
Recent red stretch marks may be less noticeable by treating them with V-beam laser for redness. Fraxel may help produce more collagen under the mature white stretchmark to make it less noticeable but this is not seen consistently, nor will it make the stretch mark go away completely. The percent improvement tends to be mild.

Lessen stretch marks with Fraxel.
We have had very good results using the Fractionated NON-Ablative laser. The number of treatments vary, but the results can be impressive.

Stretch marks needs to be cut away, not treated with laser
Unfortunately there is no great way of treating stretch marks. The only way to really treat the area is to cut it away. This can be done easily on the tummy (tummy tuck) or on some of the arm skin (brachioplasty). Other areas are much more difficult. Fraxel may improve the color of the stretch marks if they are red but not the stretch mark themselves. Stretch marks are full thickness skin scars. I wish I had a better answer for you.

Not possible to remove hip stretch marks
Please read all of the information on stretch marks on Real Self. Basically, NO treatment other than surgical excision as is done in a tummy tuck "gets rid" of stretch marks. No lasers, creams or topical treatments can do anything but possibly lighten dark stretch marks.
