Stretch Marks
Best results on red stretch marks; meaningful improvement even for older white ones.
Stretch marks are dermal scars. Red stretch marks (newer) respond very well to vascular laser and microneedling. White stretch marks (older) need more aggressive collagen stimulation with CO2, GFC, Erbium Glass and Threads — improvement is possible but slower.
What you might notice
Symptoms
- ◍Red or purple linear streaks (newer, active)

What's actually happening

What people usually ask.
