Dermatologist,  's  Response
Strech marks are commonly seen during the growing years and whenever an individal experiences sudden weight change. The possible treatment for them would be dermaroller sessions which are carried out every 3-4 weeks for at least 8 sessions.Other options are ablative laser treatment which is again carried out in sessions. You can also use topical medicines like tretinoin and glycolic acid creams.All these treatments will lessen the strech marks but wont disappear them completely.
