The Reality of Pregnancy Stretch Marks: 7 Things You Must Know

How Can I Care for Stretch Marks?

If your stretch marks have already appeared, don't panic—you’re not powerless.

Best Care Practices:

•Start Early: New stretch marks respond better to treatment.

•Use Targeted Products: Look for creams with retinoids (if not breastfeeding), hyaluronic acid, peptides, or centella asiatica.

•Be Consistent: Apply treatments twice daily and massage them in.

•Gentle Exfoliation: Helps improve skin texture and absorb treatments better.

When You Want More:

If topical treatments aren’t enough, you can consider:

•Laser therapy

•Microneedling

•Microdermabrasion

These clinical treatments can improve skin tone and texture—but talk to a dermatologist, especially if you’re breastfeeding.
