How to Get Rid of Stretch Marks – Eliminate Those Ugly Striae Scars
Stretch marks are a very common form of scarring that affects most women and a large number of men at some point in their respective lifetimes. As such, the question of how to get rid of stretch marks is a very common one that people have been searching for an answer to for generations.
Stretch marks are the striped, silvery white scarring that occurs mainly on the stomach, thighs buttocks and breasts. The scars initially start as purple or red streaks, and they may itch or be irritable, or they may cause no pain or irritation at all. These red or purple streaks will eventually fade into a white or silver colored scar, and this scar will often be indented and a very different shade and texture than the surrounding skin. People suffering these scars generally are looking for ways to get rid of them, as they are generally considered unsightly and undesirable.
Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched at such a quick rate that the body cannot repair itself properly. This stretching is generally caused by a rapid change in weight or body shape, and this is why the most commonly affected group is pregnant women, but teenagers, bodybuilders, athletes, and anyone gaining or losing weight can also suffer from these annoying and ugly scars.
As stretch marks are scars where the tiny fibres of skin are torn, it may not be possible to completely heal stretch marks, even with expensive surgery. However, if treated properly stretch marks can be reduced in appearance, and many people have had stretch marks disappear almost completely. Here’s a few tips on how to get rid of stretch marks:
1. There has been much development in the field of stretch mark treatment creams and preparations. Now that some real scientific study has been made on the subject, a variety of great products, both natural and pharmaceutical, have been developed. Do your research and find products that contain Vitamin E, Elastin, Collagen, DL-Penthenol, Squaline, Vitamin D3, Aloe Vera as as these are some of the ingredients scientifically shown to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, as well as prevent their formation if treated early enough. There are treatments for new and old stretch marks, as well as for prevention and reduction, so read the labels and get the product that’s right for you.
2. There is the option of surgery to remove stretch marks, but this has several downsides, including the prohibitive cost, the dangers of more scarring occurring, the pain and side effects. Laser surgery and skin peels don’t actually heal the scarring, only remove the outer layers of skin to reduce the appearance of the scars. Consider surgery only if you’ve tried absolutely everything else, and know a good plastic surgeon.
3. General skin care can also reduce the appearance or prevent the formation of stretch marks. Exfoliate, moisturise and cleanse daily any areas with scarring or that may be at risk. Some people have reported success making preparations out of oatmeal, baking soda, aloe vera and other natural ingredients purported to get rid of stretch marks.

@iAMcirca they are definitely not for life! i had sooo many on my thighs, still do but they have reduced and are way less visible. Lets just say i wore a two piece to puerto rico this summer with confidence in all my teenage years
just be patient and consistent w applying w/e stretch mark cream/oil works for you
positive mentality works too lol
many ppl give up cos they constantly nag and say “it aint t working… it aint working!” but it takes time

@iAMcirca That is what everyone says, and that is what is proven. But I have stretch marks. I stocked up on a lot of palmers products and I take a lot of other precautions for my skin now and my stretch marks DEFINITELY diminished. Some people even say they cant notice it. & they diminish over time, but do not fully disappear. It depends on the person I guess?

@HiHoSaraOH thought stretch marks were for life?
September 7th, 2010 at 9:57 am
@iAMcirca they will diminish over time. if you want to speed up the process, theres many products you can use, like Bio Oil, Mederma, the palmers products (as shown above). You could also try BlackOnyx77′s channel. She sells a stretch mark formula that apparently helped her stretch marks within weeks. (: go for it!

Has the palmer’s skin therapy oil worked on any of your scars, if you have any? I also have that therapy oil but I’m currently using something else on the scar.
September 7th, 2010 at 11:46 am
@jhovanaH Yea
Works better than Bio Oil on my skin plus its half the price. But you cant just rely on the creams you gotta exercise the areas you have the stretch marks on, just couple mins will do you dont need to go to the gym. Plus you gotta drink alot of water
