    I reckon that if money was no object I would opt for laser treatment. But since I live in the real world, stretch mark cream seems like the common sense option. I have been using stretch mark cream for about a month religiously and have seen incredible improvement! Thanks for the information

  12. HCG Diet Says:

    Thanks for this post. Excellent information about stretch mark treatment.

  13. Jayne Harding Says:

    There’s some fantastic quality information here. I personally would advise that creams would be the best first option for most people to try. Laser surgery would no doubt produce the greatest consequences, but, that price range is out of most people’s league.

    Many of the best stretch mark creams actively use collagen and Vitamin E as you have mentioned, which will help the skin to moisturize and enhance it’s “elasticity”! If you persevere for at least a month or two with the creams, you should notice a startling difference!

  15. samantha Says:

    I suffered with stretch marks for 10 years in my thigh and butt area. One day I talked to a nurse named Lisa who works for Dr. Frank Ryan in Beverly Hills. I never new that a laser would really work for my ancient stretch marks BUT IT DID WORK! I used to be embarrassed about putting on a bikini. I was bikini-ready with my first treatment. With 3 Pixel laser treatments I feel like I need just one more to get rid of the stretch marks completely. Certainly worth the money and the pain of getting zapped!!! Lisa really knows what she’s doing!
