I am a petite (size 6/8), healthy 24 y/o. I have had these stretch marks, and cellulite, in the outer thigh/bum area since I was 15/16. I have been advised different treatments to improve the appearance of these stretch marks and would like to understand whether you would recommend Profound RF, Fraxel or Fractional C02 laser. Which will provide optimal results, and how many sessions would be needed approx. Would any of these treatments also help reduce the appearance of cellulite? Thanks, A.
