    I'm not very familiar with this. But women deal with it a lot with pregnacies. i would do a google search based on that



    Hi there,

    Alas, you're being put on. While it is possible to make them less
    noticeable, stretch marks *never* go completely away. Stretch marks
    are permanent scars caused by tears in the dermis (the middle layer of
    skin), the result of the loss of skin elasticity:

    "It is impossible to completely eliminate stretch marks and so there
    appears to be a point at which no further improvement will be seen."

    Laser Treatment of Stretch Marks


    "Although there are tons of products on the market that claim to
    eliminate stretch marks, the truth is you can't make them go away
    without the use of a form of plastic surgery called microdermabrasion.
    If you are concerned about your stretch marks, talk to a
    dermatologist."

    What are stretch marks?
    Your skin is usually fairly elastic, but when you grow or gain weight really quickly (like during puberty), you may get fine lines on your body called stretch marks.


    " Prescription creams containing Tretinoin, also called Retin-A, may
    help reduce the appearance of fresh stretch marks. These creams should
    not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This type of treatment
    will not eliminate stretch marks completely, and it won't work on
    older marks that have already faded from red.

    A French treatment called Endermologie claims to reduce scarring. A
    machine with rollers and gentle suction is used to massage and
    exfoliate the affected area. Again, this won't remove stretch marks,
    but it may enhance the overall appearance of the skin.

    Laser surgery is sometimes used to lessen the severity of stretch
    marks, but the results are mixed. Microdermabrasion has been somewhat
    more successful in changing the appearance of stretch marks. Both
    treatments are expensive and should only be performed by qualified
    doctors. "

    What's the best way to get rid of stretch marks?


    Hope that helps!

    There is something out there that seems to be effective in speeding
    the healing process of cuts etc. as well as minimizing the appearance
    of scars [of which I have many -due to diabetes -so I know what I'm
    talking about]. It can be found at most health food/ alternative
    medicine stores and many open air markets. It's concentrated Emu oil,
    and all you need is a drop to apply it. I have been told that it works
    best on scars less than five years old, but it seems to work all the
    same in my experience. It's a little on the expensive side [~$25cdn a
    small bottle] but way cheaper than the treatments you mentioned, and
    if you find it doesn't work after a few applications on a test scar,
    then you don't need to buy any more! Hope this helps

        Do what Byron did to hide his stretch marks. Grow a moustache

            Wife used a cream after cosmetic surgery it is a script though. Desoximetasone cream usp it is to reduce scaring though. There are so many creams on the maket now days, and many are hype. Best thing to do is to talk to a board certified plastic surgeon in your state or one of their nuse staff and they could direct you as to product over the phone.

                      D-Mark is a scentless stretchmark cream, it works good but it works better when you use cocoa butter with it.
