How do you get rid of stretch marks?

Answer 1

What Can I Do About Stretch Marks?

There are several treatment options for stretch marks. The degree of success with any treatment will be impacted by your age, your skin tone and even your diet. Treatment options include:



* Surgical methods. Dermabrasion, chemical peels, or laser surgery can be used to address unwanted stretch marks.
* Lotions and creams. Over-the-counter stretch mark treatments are available. Ask your doctor to recommend one. And, if you are pregnant, discuss your concern with your doctor at the beginning of your pregnancy, before stretch marks develop, so that preventive treatment can be started.
* Diet and exercise. Drink plenty of water. Adequate hydration keeps your skin soft and less likely to develop stretch marks. Caffeine can increase your risk of stretch marks. If you're stuck on your caffeinated coffee or tea, make sure you balance the fluids. Drink just as much -- or more -- water as you drink coffee, tea or soda. Stretch marks can also result from nutritional deficiency. Be sure to consume foods that promote skin health: foods rich in zinc, such as nuts or fish; Foods high in vitamins A and C, such as carrots and citrus fruits and milk; Protein-rich foods, such as eggs.

Don't know if this helps......but at least I tried. Good Luck!

Get rid of Stretch Marks?

Answer 3

There is a way! Try Strivectin creme. It was about $150 per tiny bottle, last time I bought some, but it is really worth it. However, you are supposed to apply it sparingly (because it is a highly concentrated mixture) so I guess it could last you a long time.

One archaic method is to use fresh aloe vera gel. I don't mean buying it in a bottle. I mean growing the plants and cutting them open for thier juice. It takes a lot longer than Strivectin creme, and it takes a bit of gardening patience, but I have found it just as effective. It gets rid of both scars and stretch marks, and is a key ingredient in anitbacterial cremes, like neosporin.

Good luck. I hope it works for you.

Every time I start complaining about my stretch marks, my husband starts tracing lines on them and explains to me that those are the lines of our life. We had children from those marks and he hopes they never go away!

I don't think you can ever get rid of them, maybe make them fade slightly.

You can't get rid of them. They're yours for life. You can
make them less noticeable by putting sunless tanner on
them and blending it in with the rest of you. Also use
