dermaroller and retinoids don't do shit for stretch marks. Trust me, there is one single thing that can improve stretch marks. All we can do is hope for the future. As someone else said, the human body is a piece of shit for how easy getting stuff like this is

You are literally so real for this. Stretch marks fucking suck, and its painful having to deal with them. I have literally so much on me thanks to COVID weight. Fact of the matter is, everyone has them, even the hot Instagram models have marks on their legs and thighs. Its really normal, and once you understand that, you can start understanding and dealing with it better.
Im just secretly hoping in the future, some weird wacky tech gets rid of them completely. A girl can dream

You probably have them on an area of the body you can't see or have faded ones that blend in, I have those since I'm super pale
Or you're one of the lucky 10% and we should lock you in a cage and study you for science

If you can bullshit to your insurance that the loose skin is causing rashes or infection they'll cover all of it since it won't count as a cosmetic procedure anymore
Otherwise you'll have to pay out of pocket for a tummy tuck
It's great you lost it though anon, be proud of yourself and keep moving forward

Yeah, you need a doctor to document that it's having harm on your physical health
Insurances have policies where they won't cover cosmetic procedures but if you prove that its hurting your health they will usually cover it because if they don't you can threaten them legally for breach of contract and unjust denial

Ok, a lot of responses you get when you complain about stretch marks are stupid. Yes, most people have stretch marks, but there is a huge difference between a couple of small stretch marks on your hips and your entire body lacerated by disfiguring stretch marks. How can you not see the difference? I've never been fat, I've never had weight fluctuations, but I've always had stretch marks. I did the 23 and Me genetic testing and, among other things, they were able to say that I was 93% more likely to have stretch marks. I have tried everything under the sun from lasers to dermarollers to carboxytherapy and nothing has worked. I'm afraid I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
