It is possible to get rid of stretch marks, but, in some cases, it could take more effort or expense than you're willing to invest. Popular methods used to fade and remove stretch marks include:
*Tretinoin cream - also called Retin-A. Studies have shown that this may help reduce stretch marks. Do not use this if you are breastfeeding, as there have been no studies conducted to determine whether it's excreted in breast milk and what affect it can have on your baby. *Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) ' These plant derived extracts (sometimes called fruit acids) increase cell regeneration by removing the top layer of skin cells, allowing new, healthier cells to come to the surface, improving skin color and texture and allowing for better absorption of moisture. AHAs also purport to increase skin flexibility, which helps stretch marks to disappear. * Endermologie ' This employs a special machine developed in France. Using rollers and gentle suction, the endermologie machine deeply massages the stretch marked areas, increasing circulation. This also expels built up water and toxins in the connective tissue as they are stretched. This requires a series of treatments, each lasting about half an hour and done by a trained technician. * Micro-Dermabrasion ' Like AHAs, this method removes the outer layer of the skin, but micro-dermabrasion uses jets of zinc, aluminum oxide crystals, or a rough surface, to remove the dead skin. A small vacuum attached to a wand is usually used to suction off the dead skin. This process is painless and does not require anesthetic.
At-Home Options:
Many skin care experts say that keeping the skin soft and supple, not to mention well hydrated, can help ward off stretch marks, so be sure to drink lots of water (which is good for your skin in general). If you already have stretch marks and would like a way to cover them up, then you can use regular body makeup or you can buy specially formulated creams that work to remove stretch marks but are also tinted to help make them less visible.
Some women have also reported that using a self-tanner helps to camouflage their stretch marks. If you're going this route, remember that it is specifically tanners that you apply yourself that work. Since stretch marks don't really tan, sitting out in the sun or lying in a tanning bed for a while may make your stretch marks more noticeable as they remain light but your skin gets darker. Besides, tanning in the sun and on a tanning bed exposes you to UVA and UVB rays, which work to damage your skin, increase your risk of skin cancer, and can cause premature aging. So reach for that bottled tan instead.
i bought one of those prepaid visa cards and did the trial for captiva sm it only cost like 5 dollars or something but i didnt want to get scammed using my bank account card or something online so anyway i have used it for i think a week 1/2 now once a day though it recommends 2 times a day for best results. so i have had these stretch marks for 9yrs now and they are really fading more away, they were already light and silver but now they are matching the color of my skin a lot more so it worked for me like nothing else has and ive tried bio oil it removed the redness but nothing worked like captiva sm so far. also i tried this skin tightening lotion that has actually been working on my stomach skin and flab under my arms that exercise couldnt help, called skin tight body firming lotion www.skinenergizer.com, i searched for something a long time and this has actually worked so good luck and after it works for you spread the word
doctors will tell you there's nothing you can do to prevent getting them, and they'd probably say you can't get rid of them either. It depends on your genetics and the amount of elasticity in your skin. If you don't want to accept a doctors opinion, then maternity stores always sell lotions for stretch mark prevention and reduction. So just buy the lotions and try them out. The only risk you'll be taking is wasting your money. I bought vergetures double action stretch marks lotion by Mustela from Destination Maternity. It cost me 35 bucks. 2 days after I started using it, I saw a blue stretch mark on my hip. It may have been there earlier and I just didn't notice it, or I just wasted 35 bucks. I usually trust the doctor's word, but I'm like you, I see no threat in trying anyway. It might at least reduce the amount of stretch marks I get. Now they sell lotion for stretch mark reduction, but guess what, they want you to spend 75 bucks, WHEW!!!! That's crazy expensive, I'd wanna sue if it didn't work, hahahaha.
