It's hard for me to keep track of all the different laser treatments. Is there a convenient guide to which laser treatments work best on stretch marks? I also read about this other new laser treatment called the coolbeam, but I'm not sure the source is reliable since it's clearly a press release for that doctor. Though coolbeam sounds pretty cool, like a super power.

This is a new, FDA approved method to help treat stretch marks. Essentially this process use lasers to create a thin layer of damage under the skin. This encourages collagen to rebuild, a process is shown to subtly stretch the skin and reduce the appearance of stretch marks. A video, as well as more information, can be found by clicking here. Quite an interesting procedure, indeed.
