Would a CO2 laser treatment be effective in treating my pregnancy stretch marks? (photos)

Question

I gave birth to a baby 3 months ago and developed many stretch marks across my abdomen. I went to a clinic and the dr recommended VBeam treatment (in order to make them white as far as she told me) so she can then use CO2. Is this procedure right? VBeam is a must before CO2? Do you think that CO2 will help in making the stretch marks disappear or just fade? When should I schedule next procedure? Thank you!

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, Morpheus8, PiXel8, Skinfinitiy, and Venus Viva. I recommend seeing an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer​
