Asked By:lucy08 in Pinehouse, Saskatchewan, Canada
I’m hoping to reduce the appearance of some pretty deep and uncomfortable stretch marks on my abdomen post pregnancy. I’m wondering about suggestions of what treatments might be effective. I am most concerned about the higher marks that are more difficult to cover if I was to wear a two piece. Are the deeper stretch marks also treatable? What kind of results might I be able to expect and what treatments might be effective?

Start peels like enlighten at home and dermarolling with medical grade skincare -- vivatia, nudeskin vitamin c mask, emerageskin refit face and aox c and hyla b. fraxel or moxi with microneedling can help in the office. Best, Dr. Emer.
Hello monicaregister,
Thanks for your question. Age is not as important as the actual condition of your skin. There are a lot of people in their 40's that have accelerated skin aging due to environmental factors and lifestyle and women in their 60's/70's that have skin that is more youthful...
Fraxel is a great treatment for superficial layers of the skin and pigmentation. You can use it in combination with micro needling, but of all the mentioned treatments, Fraxel is the best. Stop using Retinoic Acid 2 weeks prior to your treatment.
