The Fraxel and Icon XD lasers are the state-of-the-art devices to treat and improve the appearance of stretch marks. They are based on the principle of Fractional Photothermolysis, developed by Dr. Dieter Manstein at Harvard Medical School.

Typically, multiple sessions are recommended to achieve a significant improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks. Sun avoidance is necessary after the treatment, in order to avoid pigment changes in the area. Recovery is quick after treatment, with no downtime.
