There is no treatment to get rid of the stretch marks. There are lasers that help the appearance of the stretch marks . The reason for the difficulty in stretch mark treatment is because stretch marks are result of tissue expansion and skin tear from inside.
Does Carboxytherapy work on stretch marks?
I've had stretch marks on my arms, forearms and shoulders ever since I was 12 years old. I gained a lot of weight as a pre-teen and teenager and have since lost most of it. I am now 23 and left with these horrible marks. I am an african american female so I am hesitant about using lasers. I've read that carboxytherapy is "the best development in stretch mark treatment in years." Does it really work? Will it work on old stretch marks?

A: Depends on what you mean by "work"
Nothing can get rid of stretch marks other than excising them like we can do in a tummy tuck. All the other treatments can offer is to lighten them possibly if they are the early purple kind. Save your money, you will be dissapointed and they won't reimburse you after!

I have stretch marks on my legs and I can't ever wear skirts. I am too embarrassed to. Even though I have lost weight, they are still there. Does carboxytherapy actually work? How much is it? (I heard the price varies from state to state)

Carboxytherapy works very well for stretch marks. I find that if mesotherapy with a cocktail for tightening the skin is administered before carboxytherapy, there is a better response. The treatment for stretch marks requires a few sessions. The more difficult stretch marks to treat are those that are deep and flaccid. I would recommend that you have a consultation with a doctor who performs mesotherapy for skin rejuvenation and/or carboxytherapy to find out about your best options.
