I think my biggest suggestion is cocoa butter and vitamn E oil or vit. E capsules.  I gained a ton of weight during my pregnancy since I was at high risk for a miscarriage.  I didnt really work out a whole lot, just ate!  I should really find a pic to show you guys..lol!  Anywyas, I smothered my entire body 3 times a day with cocoa butter and vit e oil or else I would cut a vit e capsule and spread the oil on my tummy.  And I dont have any stretchmarks.

I also kept using the oil as I was losing the weight.  I still have weight to lose and am slowly losing it, so I have been still doing this skin regimine.   I would really recommend everyone using a cocoa butter lotion at all stages of their life.

I am wondering about stretch marks aswell. I got them in my later teen years around my hips, in the middle of my lower back, and of course on my Behind... they are kinda white.. scarred kind of lines.
I haven't found anything yet that makes them less noticable. I've tried anti-wrinkle cream, all kinds of lotions,they did fade over time, but are still there... I SEE YOU, DON'T THINK I DON'T! Anywhoo, I dont' think thier really is a sure fire way of totally REMOVING them. Have you seen Anna Nicole? Have you spotted the scars on her lower stomach? She's rich enough to afford any kind of surgery she wants... and that is still there.




I feel your pain... both of you! During puberty, I developed late, but very fast. As a result, I have mild stretchmarks on my hips and on my breasts. They are not terribly noticeable unless I am under harsh lighting. Still, if you discover that something works for you...pass it along!

I think I am going to try the vitamin E approach that was posted here, as I have a huge bottle sitting in my kitchen cabinet.

I've tried a lot of stuff and did not work. The stretches are down inyour dermis, the deeper layer of skin. lotions and cream can not penetrate this deep.
 
Have you heard of Fraxel laser treatment? its very pricey and I believe pretty new but it doesn't eliminates stretch marks. Whether thre new or old I'm not sur eif that matters.
 
My mom made me a appt to get a session. I got them 3 months ago from a 30 -40 pd weight gain that I got last fall. And the stretches appeared this fall. A year later. I hate them. They appeared over night. And it was all mainly due to a med I was put on...I went back to my docs 3 month slater and had gained 20 plus pounds and he immed. took me off it.
 
But its hard to shake those pounds. I'm 25 and never have been pregnant and never grow that fast or gained weight when younger.
 
If you want more info about fraxel and if ne1 wants to see my b4 and after pics after my first session in nov ill show you, just PM me. goo dluck

Laser therapy has become too advanced now a days. Any type of marks , dents and other skin problems are treated nicely with it. My friend has taken this laser treatment for its face acne marks ans she has got remarkable results.
You can surely get benefit from it.

My mom is using mixture of Coaco Butter and Vitamin E for stretch marks on her face. There is a noticeable change on her face.

Of course Laser Therapy has become advanced these days and it works but it is quiet costly for middle class people... So I think Coaco Butter is better and also cheaper........

Yes, they can be vanished, or diminished.
I won the battle against Stretch Marks by following a regimen recommended to me by a gorgeous friend.
First, Exfoliate every other day. To removed little by little those layers of  dead skin, and allow skin to renew, and create more collagen. I used a Micro-Dermabrassion cloth..fantastic!!!!
Second,  after you are towel dried, apply a mix of PURE UNREFINED Shea butter and NATURAL vitamin E.

You will see the changes in a few weeks if you are really devoted to this.

I still do this to keep my skin looking youth and fresh

If your skin is very sensitive you might want to exfoliate every 3 days or so. You known your body.

Now I do it every 2 days.  I noticed a HUGE difference on my skin, in general, not only stretch marks.

The Micro-Dermabrasion cloth can be purchased online, look it up. And it can also be use in your face.

I hope this helps!!

There are special cosmetic surgery is available for removing stretch marks. All complications and major procedures, as well as with plastic surgery, including infection and possibly death is not the proper use of anesthesia. Moreover this surgery is quite costly of almost 5000$ to 8000$.

The main cause of stretch marks in pregnancy or sudden weight gain due to many possible factors. During puberty, hormonal changes is at its peak, which sometimes triggers a sudden weight gain. If you regularly work your muscles are developing very quickly, which could cause stretch marks on your skin.

I think that laser has made a lot of progress recently and it is possible to use laser to reduce the way that stretch marks look as well as their texture. Creams definitely help! Cocoa butter and vitamin E oil. It can only do your skin good
