What are stretch marks?

Stretch marks have been a problem for dermatologists and others to treat for a long time. There is no perfect treatment. For newer stretch marks that are pinker or light red in color, the Pulse-Dye laser is sometimes effective in fading the color of the stretch marks. Some people think that creams such as Renova or Retin-A can improve stretch marks. They may, to some extent. This improvement is often subtle. To get the texture of stretch marks to change is particularly difficult; we have more success improving the color of stretch marks than we do the texture of them.
