Stretch Mark Treatment

I have recently had a baby (about 6 months ago), and have been researching stretch mark treatments since. After an abundant amount of research, I proceeded with the process knowing the results vary widely (improvement ranges from 20-80 percent), and multiple types of treatments are generally required. I decided to go through a dermatology office, as they are experts on skin. My treatment plan involves a V-Beam laser (up to $400 per session, to remove redness), a derma pen (at home treatments- $120, every two weeks, to improve collagen production and skin texture), and possibly a Fraxel laser (to improve collagen production, and skin texture).

4 months after my first V-Beam (and several home sessions of derma-rolling), a significant amount of the redness is gone! Moving forward with treatments today to see what is the next step! I would like to target my skin texture next, especially where my bellybutton is pierced.

This is the first round of the Fraxel laser. It was $1,000 for this session, and was pretty painful. I was numbed for an hour prior, and the procedure itself only took about 30 minutes. My skin is not visibly very different in these, but the texture and wrinkliness of my stretch marks have improved and the skin as a whole is tighter. Still, I clearly don’t look like they were never there.
