Answer 1

Stretchmarks Removal
As we pass through different stages of our lives, be it puberty, pregnancy or even on a holiday when we eat a little too much, and gain weight, we inadvertently develop stretch marks on some part of our body. Even body builders can have stretch marks, in cases when the growth of the muscle is very rapid. At first these marks are reddish purple in their appearance, but lighten to shades, which are almost of the skin color, which helps in their easy removal. So don’t be panicky if you spot your first stretch mark, they’ll fade with time.

Stretch marks generally appear after child birth or after losing weight, when the skin returns to its normal size and is thus less apparent. It still has a loose feel and the marks may also be a little lower than the surrounding skin, which imparts a rough feel. The stretch marks are made on the dermis of the skin, which is one of the 3 layers of the skin, and when it is kept stretched consistently for a long period of time, it loses its elasticity and the small collagen fibers constituting it break, leading to formation of stretch marks. Stretch marks besides the cosmetic aspect are totally harmless. They do not limit normal body functions.

Removal of stretch marks is the most effective when they are just formed, i.e. when they are reddish in color. Dermatologists recommend various treatments for the marks, but their removal is very difficult once the marks fade. Although, one can use Olive oils, Coconut butter or Vitamin E or Vitamin A for massaging over the marks. Aloe Vera Gel soothes irritating skin which has been recently stretched. For an effective prevention of stretch marks, exercising is the best bet, as it keeps the muscles and skin firm. Also eating foods, which are rich in proteins, Vitamin C and E help in promoting and maintaining healthy skin.

Yes, it's possible to fade stretch marks up to the point where they are very less noticeable. Of course, older white and deep ones will take longer time. So all you need is a high quality derma roller, an excellent anti-stretch mark serum or cream and a lot pf patience.Otherwise, derma rolling is not for you but plastic surgery (which yields instantaneous results).

You can try derma rolling treatment. This reduces the stretch marks along with many other skin conditions like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, uneven skin tone and large pores.

The dermaroller creates micro-holes in the outer layer of the skin a.k.a. epidermis.And in order to repair these micro-holes, the skin produces new tissues. Elastin and collagen (the substance that gels skin cells together) production are also stimulated.
As time goes by and with more derma rolling, the skin is remodeled, and new skin cells gradually replace the old, blemished or damaged skin cells, leading to better looking skin.

Try this set http://www.mtsroller.com/dr-roller-and-a... It has a derma roller and an organic anti stretch mark oil. With those 2 working together, you will be able to fade those stretch marks and transform your skin 95% better. Hope this helps!

You can make them fade but you cant really get rid of them, just like scars. I hear good things about maderma for stretch marks, and my doctor reccommended putting vitamin e on my scars from a breast reduction. Vitamin e seems to help a lot, so I would give that a try.

Answer 4

There is no way to get rid of stretch marks completely without the help from a doctor. They can be minimized or masked with self tanners, or just accepted. Genetics make women more or less succeptible to them. I have stretch marks from having my daughter, but I just grew to love them. They aren't so bad since most women have stretch marks anyway.

Answer 5

Getting rid of stretchmarks is NOT easy, however, they will go away. These are caused by gaining a lot of weight and losing it quickly. It stretches your skin, so you then have stretch marks.

There is types of creams you can buy, but they do not always work, and they are quite pricey.

Good luck ! =]

Answer 8

The only treatments to remove stretch marks would be a lazer treatment. Creams only fade them.

Answer 9

You can fade them significantly. There are creams out there that are made for scars that fade them out. If you think about it, a stretch mark is a scar, it makes sense. ;) They will fade away by themselves with time.

Answer 10

You can't get rid of the things. I have a few myself, and I have given birth to no children. (However, I have fathered a couple.) If that is the worst ailment you have, count your blessings.
