I have stretch marks in a few places on my body and about 90% of them are still red/pink. The thickest stretch marks I have are about 1cm wide. I also still have a lot of weight to lose (10kg down, 30kg to go) and I'm 23 so I'm hoping, with my age, hydration and skincare routine, that my skin bounces back quicker once I've lost the weight.
My question is, when I've lost the weight and my skin hopefully tightens, will the stretch marks become thinner? I have some stretch marks that I got from a growth spurt during puberty and they seem to be completely healed. They have completely faded and you can only fully see them when you shine light on them from certain angles. But when I was looking at them, I noticed that they are a light silvery colour, which I expected, but they are incredibly thin as well and I can't even feel them when I glide my fingers over them. If I stretched the skin on the sides of the stretch marks, they didn't change width at all. So will all my stretch marks heal like that?
I'm mainly asking because I genuinely do not remember what these growth stretch marks looked like when I first got them, so I don't know if they healed into a thin line or if they were thin to begin with. I thought I'd ask people who had healed stretch marks that they received from gaining weight. Like I said, the thickest stretch marks I have are about 1cm wide and I'm really hoping they "close up" when they heal.
I've looked at derma rolling and laser treatments and everything I can find about getting rid of the red/pink stretch marks or minimising their appearance, but if they are just going to heal into thin silver lines I can barely see or feel, then there's no point in me worrying about them so much and I'd rather focus on helping them heal quicker. I genuinely don't mind the thin silver lines on my body, it's just the stretch marks that are thick and feel like little canyons when I glide my fingers over them that bother me.
