Laser for treatment of stretch marks? (Photo)

lucy08Aug 15, 2021
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?
