Since becoming pregnant, I’ve developed some red stretch marks on my legs. Now that my baby has been born, these stretch marks have not faded. Could you please advise on the most effective methods for removing red stretch marks?

Hello, red stretch marks can be lightened. If the red marks appeared after pregnancy, they may be either stretch marks due to weight gain (striae distensae) or pregnancy-specific stretch marks (striae gravidarum). In any case, stretch marks resulting from weight gain should be addressed appropriately. Complete removal of red stretch marks is generally not possible; however, laser treatment can help lighten them. Additionally, regular massage of the affected areas and maintaining stable body weight are important measures. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
