Answer 3

Here are some things to consider if you want to make stretch marks less noticeable:

* Some people find that sunless tanning treatments (both over-the-counter lotions and sprays and in-salon types of treatments) can help cover up stretch marks. This doesn't work for regular tanning or tanning beds, though, because stretch marks themselves are less likely to tan. And as everyone knows, the sun and tanning beds do more harm than good when it comes to the long-term health of your skin. You also can buy body makeup matched to the tone of your skin that can make stretch marks all but invisible. Although some manufacturers make these cover-up products water-resistant, makeup may not be the best solution if you'll be spending a lot of time in the water.
* Speaking of pool or beach time, the good news is that current fashion favors many styles of bathing suits that also just happen to hide stretch marks. "Boy short" style suits (popular with many athletes because they don't ride up when a person moves) work well for hiding stretch marks on the buttocks and upper thighs. And because many swimmers prefer high-neck bathing suits, which can hide stretch marks in the chest area, there are usually lots of styles to choose from.
* Although there are tons of creams and other skin products on the market that claim to eliminate stretch marks, the truth is that most are ineffective and often costly. You can't make stretch marks go away entirely without the help of a dermatologist (a doctor who specializes in treating skin problems) or plastic surgeon. These doctors may use one of many types of treatments - from actual surgery to techniques such as microdermabrasion and laser treatment - that reduce the appearance of stretch marks. These techniques are expensive and are not usually recommended for people in their teen years because they are not finished growing and their stretch marks will probably diminish over time anyway.

Answer 4

Nope. There is a cream Mederma ( I think that is it) that helps them fade, but they will never go away. That cream is about $30 a tube, and you need to use it 3 times a day for weeks. Stretch marks suck, I feel your pain. Two kids and my tummy looks like a tiger clawed down the front :)

Answer 5

There's a pricey product at department stores called Stri-Vectin, but I think it costs $120 a bottle. Or, like the people prior to me said, Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter.

Answer 6

I use make up (concealer) on my breast to blend in the colors of my stretch marks. cocoa butter should have been used while you were losing weight like women that are pregnant. it works best if you use it before The lost of the weight.

Answer 9

Try Vitamin E oil or a collagen/elastin skin cream. You need to hydrate your skin and get the suppleness back.

Answer 10

It is nearly impossible to get rid of them with topical treatments. Consult a dermatologist about laser treatments.

Answer 11

I think doctors will tell you that there is nothing that can be done. I think using vaseline on the stretch marks will help.
