While striae often fade over time, several treatment options can help improve their appearance:
Topical treatments: Creams and lotions containing retinoids, hyaluronic acid, or collagen-stimulating ingredients may help. Laser therapy: Different types of lasers can be used to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. Microneedling: This procedure involves tiny needles that create micro-injuries in the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production. Chemical peels: These can help to exfoliate the skin, promoting new skin growth and reducing the visibility of striae. Microdermabrasion: This technique exfoliates the outer layer of skin, which can help to reduce the appearance of newer striae.
