Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Stretch marks result from excessive stretching of the skin. So, I highly suggest you reduce your weight by at least 15 to 17 lbs. Once stretch marks are formed, they are hard to treat. A number of treatments are available with varying success. A carbon dioxide laser will tighten your skin over the affected area, but again, get treated for visible parts only and not the entire body, as it will be quite expensive.

1. Nd: YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) laser and ER (erbium-doped) glass lasers: These are skin-tightening lasers.

2. Dermaroller and PRP (platelet-rich plasma): Platelet-rich plasma is injected in the derma abrade stretch mark to induce skin tightening.

3. Vitamin E capsules: Used with variable success.

Hope this answers your query.

Kind regards.
