Unfortunately, all those fancy products that claim to get rid of stretch marks do not work. What they will do is keep your skin soft and moisturized.
Your stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable as the months pass but will never go away as they are similar to scars. They will fade from red/pink to a silvery white. However, you can see a dermatologist to discuss treatment. Here are a few options:
1. tretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A)
2. laser therapy
3. light therapy (new)
Your health insurance plan will not cover "cosmetic" procedures so you'll probably want to find out what this will cost.

Stretch marks used to be considered irreversible, but now there's hope.
Phytolastil was the first formula to be clinically proven effective against stretch marks. It was first formulated in 1975 after a landmark study on stretch marks, and has been clinically proven many times since. Phytolastil is household name in France, and is recommended by skin specialists, dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and gynecologists around the world
Developed by Laboratoire Lierac of Paris, Phytolastil works because of a unique Alchemilla, Climbing Ivy and Horsetail formula. This amazing herbal blend has withstood the test of time and is considered to be the leading stretch mark treatment in France and many other countries.
Phytolastil works because its Alchemilla, Climbing Ivy and Horsetail formula tackles the problem at source. It stimulates fibroblast cells in the skin which produce protein fibres, reversing the damage and restoring smoothness.
One formulation is used to diminish existing stretch marks and another is used to prevent these disfiguring marks:-
i) Phytolastil Ampoules - Diminishes existing stretch marks
With 80% concentration of the extracts Alchemilla, Climbing Ivy and Horsetail, Phytolastil Ampoules act intensively to reactivate fibroblast cells and produce protein fibers, which help to repair and smoothen skin. First results are visible after 25 days. With continued use, stretch marks fade and become narrower until they are less noticeable. Use one ampoule twice daily on stretch marks for six to eight weeks.
Results are permanent, and you can stop once the stretch marks are treated!
