Stretch marks
Is it possible to reduce the appearance of stretch marks? I’ve heard that stretch marks are permanent, but can’t they be faded? I’m mainly referring to the older ones, not the new ones, which typically occur on the shoulder area after working out at the gym.

Please do not worry. Effective treatment options are available; however, management depends on the severity and extent of the condition. A detailed medical history is essential for appropriate evaluation and treatment planning.
Kindly schedule an online consultation with a dermatologist for a comprehensive assessment, prescription, and further guidance.”
