Laser or dermabrasion for stretch marks?

Whats the best treatment for stretch marks, Dermabrasion or Laser treatment? I am looking for a solution that takes the least amount of time possible, but just as efficient. I know dermabrasion is cheaper but is it as good? I heard it takes more sessions to get rid of the stretch marks. I have some that are still red and really want to get rid of them. I also have others on a different part of my body that are faded. Would one treatment be more effective on the faded ones than the red and vice versa?

A: Neither works

Stretchmarks will fade over time, but neither a laser or dermabrasion will make them go away. Some people claim success with the laser -- but I have never seen a good result.
