I could only find mention of a couple of Drs. using ReLume and they
both are part of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York who
apparently did the study.
I found mention of them in an article at cnn money

"Scars received during trauma are a constant and painful reminder of
the injury," said dermatologist Roy Geronemus, M.D. "The appearance of
scars can be unsightly and have psychological effects on a person's
well being. The use of light to pigment scars during cosmetic
procedures can significantly improve the quality of life for many
patients."

"Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, M.D., Ph.D., a dermatologist who has
been using the ReLume device in a clinical study, stated, "Five to six
treatments often achieved 75 to 100 percent repigmentation of stretch
marks. ReLume treatments are painless, safe for all skin types, and
require no downtime. Study participants were very satisfied with the
cosmetic improvement after undergoing ReLume therapy.""
