Mature (10+ years old) white/silver stretchmarks on breasts - are there any impactful treatment options?

I am 36 F recently having lost about 50lbs. I have always had stretch marks on my breasts, but the volume loss from the weight loss had made them more visible with pronounced texture. I am searching for a results-driven treatment. I have read co2 laser and/or microneedling are the best options. I went for a consult at a laser clinic- they suggested Moxi which didn't seem like the best option to me. Is there any truly impactful treatment for mature silver/white stretchmarks?

True moles (nevi) should not simply be burned away with cautery, laser, RF, etc., without sending a specimen off to the laboratory to confirm that the mole is an innocent benign mole and not one that might be harboring atypical or malignant cells that can survive the cautery and later present a...

My recommendation for old scars that’s won’t respond to lasers is to look into scar revision. If that’s not an option, Morpheus could be a first approach. Best from Boston!
