Does IPL work for stretch marks? I'm currently using Retin-A and not seeing the stretch lines disappearing? Maybe a bit lighter, but the lines are still really visible.

Answer: IPL has with pigmentation and redness but not texture of stretch marks
IPL may be helpful to minimize pigmentation and redness of a stretch mark but that may be it. Topical tretinoin should be the foundation of any stretch mark therapy. You may want to seek out a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has expertise in Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing as it may be helpful to even out textural changes associated with stretch marks.

Answer: Lasers for stretch marks We recommend laser treatments for stretch marks. While the IPL may be appropriate for some red stretch marks, we believe there are better options. Here are the suggestions. Red Stretch Marks - Pulsed Dye Lasers. Brown Stretch Marks - Q-Switched Lasers. Textured Stretch Marks - Non-ablative, Fractional & Erbium Lasers.
