Only just spotted this shanequa, so sorry for late reply. Saw this treatment done on The Salon when it was on. There was a marked improvement - although it was very expensive. They will fade (a lot of mine are clear now) and getting them into the sun will help.
Hopefully somebody else might be able to give you good advice from personal experience

not sure if laser surgery is actually succesful with strechmarks. when i read about the subject a couple of years ago, the official medical opinion was that nothing can repair the skin where strchmarks have occurred and it is a permanent damage there. i have tried a few different lotions for this problem myself (got them on my breasts of all places and it's not v nice)and the only product that gives a better appearance is here . you would need to use it daily, constantly, once you stop using it they are noticeable again. i agree a suntan helps too. if you find a better solution let us know please!!!
