Thank you for your question. Our of everything that we treat in aesthetic medicine, white stretch marks are one of the most challenging conditions to treat. In short any type of safe resurfacing can improve the appearance of stretch marks. Having said that , I actually love using Vivace to treat stretch marks because it is an elegant treatment that has virtually no downtime, has very little discomfort if any, and gives amazing results. I recommend a series of four treatments about 4 weeks apart. Best Wishes, Monica Bonakdar, MD
