21, female. How can I improve the look of older stretch marks? (Photos)

Question

Hello! I have had stretch marks since 8th grade and I have been using various serums and creams to improve their appearance. Weirdly, I feel like it's been looking a little better since | lost weight. While I don't hate my stretch marks I would like to see what options I have for improvement(at least 50%!). The marks on my arm are flat for the most part. Any advice would be appreciated☺️thanks!

Professionally performed manual microneedling dermarolling (no need for the added expense and risks of RF Microneedling) can be performed to improve the texture and appearance of old stretch marks. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist scar treatment specialist with experience in microneedling. A series of on average three to four treatment sessions are required to achieve optimal improvement.  I would suggest that a small area be treated first, as a test area. If the desired improvement is achieved, then treatment of the entire area can be initiated. Hope this helps and best of luck.
