Hi Zonya, Fraxel re:store laser is non-ablative and should not be painful when used to treat stretch marks in your "bottom area". Topical numbing anesthetic ointment should be used for about one hour before the treatment. If you choose to have Fraxel re:pair ablative fractionated CO2 laser... more

Yesterday I had my 4th fraxel laser treatment on my shoulders, chest and upper arms and boy did it hurt!!! It felt like she did 3 passes instead of 2, or she did it at a higher setting. I haven't seem extreme improvement but hope I do when I get over this. I have 2 more treatments to go and will definitely ask her to put it at the same setting as she did on my 3rd laser treatment. I does not remove your stretchmarks some of mine just look thinner but I can still see them.

If the stretch marks you are wanting to have treated are older, white and papery in appearance...Fraxel is your friend! It does a wonderful job of smoothing the appearance and evening out the skin tone. Before you are treated you will be numbed topically with a cream. Although you will feel some heat, the bottom area is not as sensitive as some others!
