No, I've had stretch marks for 49 years. If there were an effective treatment, don't you think I'd be using it.

As far as I know, not treatment, but forms of prevention. Once the skin did overstretch, there's nothing to fix them back to a normal state. Some products help by 'bleaching' the affected area, so that they are not that obvious anymore...
The other method, I could think of, would be an abdomiplasty, also called tummy tuck...in that way the affected skin would be cut out and pulled back together, but that would involve, of course, a surgical procedure with risks involved, and later on of course again a scar.

Plastic surgery. I'm not sure about other forms of treatment, and you might question the cost and ethics of plastic surgery, but you asked about effective treatment, so I'm responding to that.
Good luck!

You can never fully get rid of them without laser removal... however you can minimize them.
Cocoa butter can help, but if you really want to get rid of them spring for Styvektin S-D. It is about $100 a bottle and you have to use it 3X a day, but now I can barely see mine. It worked great.
You can buy it at Sephora.com

Nope, they can fade and you can minimize their appearance buy tanning but then you just damage your skin and you will look old with faded stretch marks. Only thing you can do is surgery.
