Stretchmarks :/
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 12:40pm
Hey everyone,So Im in my 20s and have 2 beautiful angels(girls). I had a perfect body, not a scratch or scar. Now Im still banging in clothes, with my hourglass figure. But underneath, are stretchmarks; around my belly, thighs and hips. I cover them up with body makeup. But has anyone tried anything that really works-creams, lasers, surgery..? I dnt mind spending(ill save the $). I just want it to work. Plz help!
I would love to hear input on this too because I also have them really bad and NEED to get rid of them!

I also have stretch marks from gaining and losing weight....I hate them! I did a lot of research and tried to find a solution. The one with the best results that kept coming up over and over is bio-oil. I don't have the discipline to apply it as much as they tell you to, but from what I've read if you use it religiously 3-4 times a day for several months you should notice a difference. I would also try Mederma.Also, I heard from a dermotologist that once you have a scar, any kind of scar it is very very important to put sunscreen on it. Once it changes color from being exposed to sunlight, it will never fade!
Daily dry brushing your skin, combined with a product called "No More Stretch Marks" by the company Mama Mio, works wonders! It's a substantial time and money investment, but it really does work. You have to be willing to apply the product three X a day for 12 weeks to get the maximum benefit. If you do a Google search, you can find numerous reviews of this product. Good luck! :-)
check out bio oil more carefully, I think the vitamin E contained in it is in the form of E tocopherol acetate which i think is actually toxic be care ful of any product claiming to contain vitamin E. Ive used bio oil, the scent seems alluring but research it more . deep laser is expensive, at U of Michigan it is done by top researcher. get a dr that has experience not some aesthitician. I have been to spas that want to do laser, am scheduled for deep in Jan. for acne scars, not stretch
i have a 1 year old and the best thing that i have tried so far is bio- oil , of course it doesnt completely remover your stretch marks but it has lightened them alot! its not greasy & smells great.... the only thing that it contains mineral oil, other then that i have no problems.....
