laser treatment for stretchmarks?

[jacked1]

anybody try laser treatment (or any other medical treatment) to remove or otherwise make stretchmarks less noticeable. I've tried every lotion and scar fading gel/cream on the market as well as tanning and can get them to fade a bit but now I am starting to get them in places that I didn't even know you could get stretch marks (don't ask) and it's really starting to piss me off. what do the pros do to prevent/fade them.

I dont think there is a cure bro, but only prevention methods, so once they are there they are there to stay, though laser treatment might help, first i have heard of this

Laser surgery is currently being developed for the treatment of stretch marks. These treatments don't remove stretch marks -- they simply make them fade. The laser responds to dark colors only, so in the early stages, when stretch marks are dark red or brown, laser treatment will be effective. Faded, flesh-colored marks will probably not respond to laser treatment since they won't be easily detected. A series of treatments might be required for visible results.

A good preventative for them is taking C,E, silicon (which helps form collagen. Also massage areas to increase blood supply and apply moisturizer.
