Postpartum stretch marks can be removed by appropriate physical means, such as laser, surgery, etc. However, it is basically impossible to remove stretch marks after smearing skin care products, because stretch marks are caused by the rapid increase of the fetus and uterus during pregnancy, resulting in the skin of the abdomen being pulled. In addition, hormone levels will change during pregnancy, and elastic fibers in the dermal layer of the abdominal skin will be broken, collagen fibers will be deposited in large quantities, and inflammatory reactions will occur. The repair of this dermal skin problem can only rely on laser and surgery. In pregnancy, you can reduce stretch marks by controlling fetal weight, but the occurrence of stretch marks is also related to genetics, so it is generally impossible to completely prevent stretch marks.
