Should I treat stretch marks before or after weight loss?

September 16, 2022
Asked By:11.bsj_3 in Los Angeles, California

I currently use moisturiser, retinol and hyaluronic acid to treat my stretch marks, however I am unsure if treating them whilst I haven’t lost weight is ineffective. I want to experiment with dermarolling for my stretch marks however I don’t know whether to start this before or after weight loss. Also could you please let me know whether I should just continue the moisturising portion of my regimen and stop the retinol and hyaluronic acid until i’ve lost weight.
