Common questions
Do stretch marks ever go away completely?
They rarely vanish entirely, but they can fade dramatically, especially when treated early.
Can I treat stretch marks at home?
Yes, consistent at-home treatment can soften their color and texture over time.
Why are some stretch marks red and others white?
Red marks are new and still have blood flow. White marks are older and fully matured.
When is the best time to treat them?
While they are still red or purple. Early marks respond much better than old white ones.
