Treatment Of Stretch Marks
Many treatments are suggested. They include formulations with high vitamin C, retinoid creams, laser therapy, chemical peeling, etc. The objective is to produce more collagen and increase the support. Though many treatments get suggested, none has been proved to be perfect. Some doctors suggest reduction of caffeine intake and increasing water intake during pregnancy to lessen stretch marks. You should talk to your doctor about anything that can improve the appearance. more-

There are some fade creams in the market (near like the Nair/hair dilpatories section) that claim to fade stretch marks. I have a few friends who have used them and have said they work a little bit. There are also laser options out there if you have some change to spend.

No easy way of getting rid of them. I had them too. Let's just say in the 5th grade I developed like my mother! LOL, anyways, it takes time to get them to go away.
