    Stretch marks won't go away. They will fade, but you will always be able to see them faintly and feel the different skin texture.

    In the past year of weight loss, all my stretch marks have faded from pink/red to just my normal skin tone. I can still see and feel them if I'm looking, but they are much less noticeable.

    You can't. They're scars way deep in the skin. Topical Retin-A can reduce redness in new scars. Lasers can apparently do something very minimal but expensive with old scars. They fade a bit. Everyone has them, though. Try not to stress about it.
