Treatment for waistline stretch marks depends on their stage. For new, reddish stretch marks, prescription retinoid creams (like tretinoin) can help rebuild collagen and improve their appearance (do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding). Over-the-counter creams containing hyaluronic acid or Centella asiatica also show benefits when applied daily. For older, white stretch marks, topical creams have limited effectiveness. In those cases, dermatological treatments like microneedling, laser therapy, or chemical peels work best. Keep the area well-moisturized, and consult a dermatologist to choose the best option for your skin.
