Does fraxel laser surgery permanently get rid of stretch marks?
While Fraxel can be effective with some patients for stretch marks, I have personally gotten better results with the eMatrix for stretch marks. Red stretch marks can effectively be treated with the V-Beam laser. Please consult with a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with lasers. Best, Dr. Green
Agree with Dr Emer- red stretch marks can be faded with V BEAM or other vascular lasers. Often 3-4 sessions are needed. I often combine my treatments with Vitamin A cream. Old stretch marks are harder to treat. My choice? Either Fraxel laser, CO2 Fractional or RF microneedling. Regardless of which treatment you elect, the results are variable, and you will require 3-4 sessions. Expect a maximal fading and or improvement of 30-40%.
