Skin is the largest part of the human body and has a remarkable ability to expand and contract when needed. The skin is strong and elastic, but its supporting tissues get damaged if it stretches too quickly or way much.
90% of women experience stretch marks post-pregnancy and childbirth. However, it can affect people of different ages and all skin types. If you develop stretch marks, you’re most likely to do so during the following events:

Exfoliation
Regular exfoliation is the simplest way to treat white stretch marks. It helps remove excess dead skin from your body and regrow new skin from your stretch marks.
Exfoliating alongside other treatment methods can also enhance the results. Removing dead skin from your stretch marks allows other skin treatments to penetrate more deeply and heal faster.
Topical Treatments
Some stretch mark medicines are available over-the-counter, while others are prescribed by a board-certified dermatologist. When applied regularly, topical creams lighten the stretch marks. Before using any topical treatment, discuss your risks with your dermatologist.
Microdermabrasion
It is a painless and effective procedure to reduce the appearance of white stretch marks. This procedure targets the upper layer of skin (epidermis) and works by stimulating the skin to tighten collagen and elastin fibers. For effective results, microdermabrasion requires multiple sessions.
Microneedling
It targets the dermis (the middle layer of your skin), where stretch marks first form. In this procedure, tiny needles are injected into your skin to trigger collagen production. Increased collagen and elastin promote skin regeneration that can aesthetically improve your skin appearance and reduce stretch marks.
To effectively reduce stretch marks, it may take over months to show the result.
Laser Treatment For Stretch Marks
In the procedure, lasers penetrate the skin, triggering regeneration. It stimulates the tissues around your stretch marks to heal speedily.
Laser therapy stimulates melanin production in the targeted region, activating pigment cells in your skin. It causes your stretch marks to blend in with the normal skin tone. Though effective, laser therapy requires multiple sessions to notice satisfactory results.
