Miracle Cures for Stretch Marks

Hello Dr. Rivkin! I was searching the web for stretch mark treatments and came across a news article posted recently that states a Dr. in PA stumbled upon a new treatment to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. She says she uses the combination of a radio-frequency treatment to tighten skin and reduce cellulite and a laser designed to improve skin texture. I was just wondering what the names of these procedures are, and if you think I could ask for this combination at an office in my area.


hi,
i took a look at the article you're talking about.
there's no mention of what devices she is using, and i have not heard of this supposed miracle. so, that leads me to one conclusion: imaginative PR.
there is no solution to stretch marks right now. we can improve mild ones with Active fx and sometimes radiofrequency devices like thermage give slight improvement, but its a tough problem.
i would look for an office in your area that offers active fx and see if they will treat your stretch marks. we still do not know exactly how effective the device is for stretch marks, but reports are hopeful.
