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

fyfdghxssbJun 30, 2022
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?

Based on the posted 2 photos you need to chill... Healing is an active process taking months, allow this to occur. in time the incisions will be barely noticeable. But this should have been addressed with your chosen operative surgeon.
