PDL for old red stretch marks? (Photo)

May 7, 2020
Asked By:Inventive738537 in Dallas, TX

I have several stretch marks on my hips that are about 13 years old. However, they never fully faded; they are still reddish-purple in most light and angles. I've read that PDL/IPL treatment is best for newer stretch marks, but would it be beneficial on ones this old given the amount of color that's still in them? Texture improvements are good, but I'm mainly looking to lighten them so that they are less noticeable.
