Is CO2 laser effective on stretch marks?

demcha_kourovizaj
There is an article from 2012 entiled “Fractional CO2 laser as an effective modality in the treatment of striae alba in skin types III IV” that talks about the use of laser for stretch marks. There is one picture attached and the result seems impressive. However, I have read lots of negative reviews about the fact that this laser is ineffective for stretch marks. Can a significant improvement be achieved in your opinion? Thanks
