Improving the texture of old white stretch marks? (Photo)

June 30, 2022
Asked By:fyfdghxssb in Haleyville, AL

I am a 22 years old female. I developed stretch marks many years back during puberty as well as weight fluctuations. The stretch marks are completely white now. I am planning to go for Medical Tattoo to conceal the colour. But before that I want to smooth out the texture of the scars as I know that medical tattoo will only address the colour, not the texture. So my question is that whether laser/mnrf/prp or any other procedure can improve texture of white stretch marks and to how much % approx?
