Once stretch marks form on your skin they cannot be removed completely. What we can improve is the appearance of the marks with some treatment. Dermabrasion, Chemical peels, platelet rich plasma therapy, or fractional CO2 laser can help in improving the appearance of the stretch marks. The number of sittings required for optimum results can be decided after examination.

Need details .
Treatment depends on the grade of marks.
Creams work excellent when the stretch marks are thin , fine streaks. Thicker lines may require combination treatment.
Consult me online on practo pro for guidance & prescription.
