What can be used to fade stretch marks caused by obesity?
Disease description:
I’ve gained quite a bit of weight over the past two years, and stretch marks have appeared on my thighs. They’re slightly reddish in color, making them look quite unsightly. Could you please advise on how stretch marks are typically faded?

Hello,
If bone growth is excessively rapid or if excessive fat accumulation stretches the skin beyond its elastic limit, stretch marks (striae distensae) may easily develop on the skin surface. Stretch marks can fade over time. Laser therapy is generally effective for lightening stretch marks. Additionally, weight loss may also help reduce their appearance, although they typically do not disappear completely.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
