Chemical Peels to Treat Stretch Marks?

Chemical peels are going to be minimally effective at treating stretch marks, like any treatment that remodels the skin. It will have almost no impact on them.

Elastin Difficult to Repair

One of the hardest things to bring back in the skin are elastin fibers. Since it is the elastin in the skin that is damaged in stretch marks, it makes it very difficult to treat.

Alternative Treatments

Consult with an experienced physician to learn more about other treatments that have proven to be more effective for stretch marks.
