when can you camouflage a stretch mark?
You need to wait 12 months before you camouflage a stretchmark especially with wide stretch marks, because it takes this time for it to be completely healed. Performing camouflage before a stretch mark is fully developed may affect the result of the camouflage negatively, and it may leave more trauma to the skin. It will also lead to incorrect pigment coloring. There are LED treatments that can be used to help the healing stages during these first 2 years.
