Hello,
The formation of stretch marks on the abdomen is multifactorial. There is a direct correlation between stretch mark development and excessive accumulation of body fat. To effectively fade stretch marks, it is essential to address the underlying issue—obesity—fundamentally.
To reduce stretch marks, the first step is to decrease excess body fat. Additionally, applying appropriate topical serums or creams—combined with gentle massage and regular weight-loss exercise—can significantly enhance the fading effect.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
