Stretch marks are caused by weight gain/loss and hormones, unfortunately, some are more genetically predisposed to them than others.
You can never make them go away, but they will fade with time. They will go from the dark purplish color to a faint silvery tone. Keeping your skin well hydrated both with lotions and drinking enough water every day will help to keep stretch marks to a minimum during times like pregnancy.
I wouldn't worry about them too much, 75% of the female population has them on their bodies, either from puberty or pregnancy. I got a few when I was pregnant, and have learned to accept them. I'm not any less of a person because of them, they are just another part of my body. We all have imperfections.

Apply olive oil every single day on target areas. It really helps a lot to stop the stretch marks from appearing.

Vitamin E oil can help with scarring, but the only way to be rid of them completely is surgery. Sorry there is no quick, easy, or home made fix.

I am very sorry to inform you, but there is nothing that will get rid of them--not even those so called laser treatments. I got that info from a spa that was offering them. It may lighten thenm a bit, but it will not remove them. You are, unfortunately, stuck with them just like the rest of us moms.

Vitamin E oil. It is more concentrated and even though it takes months to work, it is still the fastest out there.
