Answer: I have used it! I first used Fraxel for stretch marks for my cousin after she had our lovely twins! Since we have used Fraxel in combo with coolsculpting and chemical peels for various other ladies- depending on the type of stretch marks they have. I have also used Sculptra and PRP in combo to get good results. Remember stretch marks are never going to be exactly back to normal skin but they can be improved. Here is some good info on Fraxel in case it is helpful: Fraxel is a unique laser because it has the ability to rejuvenate the skin in a non-invasive, effective fashion with minimal downtime. It can be an ideal treatment for sun damaged skin on the face, neck and chest. In addition to brown marks, it can used to improve scars, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles and age spots. By placing tiny columns of energy into the skin, the Fraxel laser promotes the body’s natural healing response and development of new collagen. The Fraxel laser is used fractionally treating a patient’s skin in specific areas, while leaving some skin unaffected nearby, allowing for an easier and less invasive rejuvenation. The net result is tighter, smoother, and more radiant skin. Treatment with the Fraxel laser begins by first using a numbing cream to make the procedure comfortable. Generally three treatments are needed for great results. Because the process requires new collagen to form, maximum results take few weeks to show. After each treatment there is about a 1 week period of “downtime” where a patient may experience light redness and discoloration in the skin while the skin is undergoing this healing and rejuvenation.

Answer: Fraxel for stretch marks Fraxel does improve stretch marks on the abdomen. Do be aware that it is not an eraser. Multiple treatments will be necessary and it can take several treatments to start to see your results. In addition to improving the texture, the treatment can improve the color of stretch marks also.Be sure that you choose your physician based on her training, skills and reputation, not on what lasers she has. Because ultimately it isn't the laser, but the physician using the laser that makes the difference.I hope this answer helps. Best wishes.
