Would you recommend Profound RF, Fraxel or Fractional C02 laser for white stretch marks in the outer thigh/bum area? (Photos)

Question

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.

in office skinfinity does best. at home vivatia foam, restorsea 10x lotion, and ISDIN body lotion and MTS roller helps (see link). you can also medical tattoo we do that frequently in our office.

stretch marks need lasers, microneedling, and sometimes medical tattooing. it is best at home to be using products that stimulate collagen and improve discoloration.  products like emeragecosmetics vivatia foam, MTS roller with anteageMD ampules to be used twice weekly, phyto plus by skinceuticals, cosmelan 2 cream, reve skin 1.0 retinol, and ISDIN lactic acid body lotion. In office radiofrequency like fractora, skinfinity, and venus viva work well.  consult with us, we do free skincare consults daily at emeragecosmetics.com.  Best, Dr. Emer.
