Along with Fraxel, the other four treatments recommended for the prevention and treatment of stretch marks by Dr. Ariel Ostad include prescription creams like Retin-A, regular exercise, balanced diet, and moisturizer.

Fraxel has the unique ability during treatment to penetrate the top layer of skin and reach the lower levels of dermis to stimulate the body's own healing response.

Depending on the size and amount of stretch marks, eliminating them with Fraxel may require two to four treatments.
