Hi!jenn, Welcome To HealthcareMagic forum, Stretch marks are of three types depending upon their color. 1) dark black - called stria nigra. 2) white - called stria alba. 3) red - called stria rubra. Treatment, though very unsatisfactory ,depends upon which color stretch marks one has. Since you said you want to fade stretch marks ,i would guess that you have black stretch marks.(If I am wrong ,kindly correct me). Black stretch can be improved by using certain creams containing either tretinoin or hydroquinone base. Some doctors prefer doing derma roller also .But you should understand that results vary from patient to patient and one can never get 100% results. For white stretch marks ,there are lasers like RELUME. These lasers actually give color to the white line .These are costly lasers and are not so easily available. I ve used this laser for many years ,but the results were variable. There are certain clients where in we see very satisfactory result and what laser does is ,it just makes your white stretch marks match your original skin color,so that it is less visible. Yes ,its something like tanning of skin . You can check out this link to know more about lasers ..http://www.allaboutstretchmarks.com/ReLumetreatment.htm Hope this would help you decide your treatment options.If you have any further query ,you can write back to us. regards, Dr.chawda
