Yes: But not at home. Carboxytherapy can work as an office procedure in 3-6 weeks without downtime. See other answers re tretch marks. Also there is data on palomar laser coma ies system with 1450 and 1540 wavelength, which appears to better than other laser systems in repairing stretch marks.

Mederma: Mederma can help it is over the counter and the sooner you use it, and the more consistently you use it. The more chances of success, but the likely of fast is low in your case, it may take 6 months and still not be completely resolved, be aware though that Mederma can only do so much but it will not prevent more stretch marks - the only way to do that is to avoid overeating and obesity.
