Can Retin-A remove five-year-old stretch marks on the thighs and butt?

Question

Peter A. Aldea, MD · Answer

A Stretch Mark is a full thickness crack in the skin filled with a scar tissue. There recurs non texhnuque in the world which can erase a stretch mark. Early stretch marks which are purple or reddish due to their blood vessels can be turned to white by lasers which target blood vessels but it will not make them invisible. At five years, the stretch marks are mature and cannot be improved upon. With the sole exception of stretch marks of the lower tummy which can removed with s tummy tuck, there is no reliable way to remove stretch marks. Peter Aldea MD
