HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different options available to treat stretch marks but it can take at least 12 weeks for any changes to be seen.
The most common methods available are: (1) topical cream containing cocoa butter, wheat germ oil and lanolin. These agents help to rebuild skin structure
(2)topical retinoids- these cannot be obtained without a prescription from a doctor. They act by speeding up cell turnover in the skin and stimulating new collagen growth
(3)laser therapy-this is one of the more effective methods. It also stimulates collagen growth
(4)dermobrasion- this may help to renew the skin but the changes may not be major
You would need to speak to your dermatologist about the retinoids, laser therapy or dermabrasion.
Stretch marks may not resolve completely with any of these but would decrease them till they are less significant.
Some women also use camouflaging cosmetics on the area to decrease the intensity
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
