Thank you for your question! Stretch marks can't officially be "cured," and it will take a combination approach and consistent treatment to see great results. However, there are a multitude of treatments currently available that can be utilized. I recommend a combination of microneedling/PRP, lasers (Erbium, Fraxel, Excel V, Pulsed Dye Laser, Laser Genesis, Yellow laser) or radiofrequency devices like Intensif, Fractora, Skinfinitiy, and Venus Viva. More importantly, I recommend the addition of medical-grade skincare, like our Scar/Stretchmark Post-Laser Package, which can be found at Emeragecosmetics.com, along with a free consult with a Skin Care Specialist.I recommend seeing an expert for a formal evaluation.

Thanks for your question. I would not let any marks that appear just a few days after Fractora concern you. It is an intense and effective treatment. That being said, keep the area clean and hydrated, and stay out of direct sunlight at all costs. Keep an eye on the healing process and note any...
Remember that to apply a product like hydrocortisone correctly your skin must be damp first. Otherwise you're rubbing it onto the skin dry and it's not absorbing or working. So my first question is, is your skin damp when you're applying this?? If not, try it that way. And you can take an OTC...
Thanks for your question. Your skin is going through a big change in a little amount of time, so it's possible you're having an adverse reaction. Not to worry, scale back heavy occlusives such as Vaseline or Aquaphor and drink plenty of water. Continue cleansing, hydrating, and practicing safe...
