There are several treatment options for stretch marks. If you are serious about dealing with unwanted stretch marks, it's best to be in the care of a surgeon or dermatologist who can recommend your best options. He or she will take a detailed medical history, including medications you are taking. Some medications can cause stretch marks, and it is very important to be open and honest with your doctor. Those medications include hormones and steroids.
Surgical Methods
Dermabrasion or a chemical peel can be used to address unwanted stretch marks, and there are new advances in laser surgeries. The degree of success with any treatment will be impacted by your age, your skin tone and even your diet. It's important to note that insurance coverage probably will not cover stretch mark removal because it is a cosmetic procedure (even if the stretch marks are particularly severe).
Lotions and Creams
There are plenty over-the-counter treatments for stretch marks. If you are a woman who is pregnant and you are concerned with stretch marks, let your physician know you want to begin preventative treatment before your stomach starts growing. Often, your physician can recommend creams.

You can try using tretinoin cream (or Retin-A), but you need to use is when the marks a fairly "fresh". Laser therapy is another option if you're looking to improve the appearance of stretch marks.
You should visit a Dermatologist. They could probably prescribe a good cream.

I heard cocoa butter works good, there is also a stretch mark reducing cream that you can get at most drug stores.

Surgery. Stretch marks are scars (pressure on the skin breaks the skin appart and scar tissu is created in that separation). Scars are a type of tissu that cannot regress or disapear on their own.

Honey, hate to tell you, but you are not getting rid of them. You can, however, make them less visable. There are lotions and creams you can purchase for that, but I find the best way to hide mine and to get them to fade, is to tan.
