Stretch Marks?

Question

Any moms or anyone else have a method the ACTUALLY works for getting rid of stretch marks? NOT a remedy you heard from a friend of a friend.

Answer 1

Sorry to say, they are there to stay.
Stretch marks are PERMANENT -- all you can do is improve their appearance a bit, with Retin A (prescription cream) or cocoa butter.

Sucky answer, but the fact is, women get stretch marks, and it's a part of life if you give birth or lose weight rapidly.

The media tells us we have to look perfect. The media sucks. We need to start recognizing certain facts, like sinking boobs after pregnancy, and stop being brainwashed by the media.

Answer 2

The method: Mederma ointment

What it's good for: Smaller scars and new stretch marks

How it works: Mederma uses an ingredient derived from onion skins to help treat scar height and discoloration. Its manufacturer claims it will soften hardened scar tissue, too. Mederma comes in a gel formula, so you can apply during the day and no one has to know. Visible results, however, can take awhile to show up.

The method: Microdermabrasion

What it's good for: Raised and slightly pitted scars

How it works: Microdermabrasion uses tiny crystals to aggressively slough off the top layers of skin. By sloughing off enough skin, microdermabrasion can help even out differences in tissue, thereby smoothing out a raised scar or making a pitted scar less deep. If you have very sensitive skin, however, microdermabrasion may not be for you. The process naturally irritates the skin, which can cause further discoloration if you're particularly sensitive.

To get rid of the stretch marks try this method. Use 1/2 teaspoon of aloes, 1/2 tps papaya pulp.1- tsp rose water, 1 -tsp of sandalwood paste, 10 drops almond oil and two drops of lavender oil. add 2-tsp milk cream to these and make a smooth paste, apply over the effected skin and massage gently before a bath. Do, this atleast thrice a week.Coz it really worked for one of my colleague

The stretch marks are usually farmed when the skin is stretched over a long period of time, these are nothing but strains of elastic fibre in deep layers of the skin. when one looses or gains weight rapidly then there skin will loose the elasticity resulting in these marks. they will normally fade by themselves, after some time. if you want to fade them quickly tan that particular area so that those light scars may mix with the normal skin.

Prevention is the best way to avoid problems when you think your skin is loosing elasticity apply oils or moisturizer to those areas so that it remains supple. And dint take rapid weight loosing programmes they not only create problems like stretchmarks but also skin sagging, and then wrinkles . So adopt a right way or loosing weight slowly. All the best.
