No matter which body type it is that you have, stretch marks have always been a problem for women. These fine lines which mar the surface of your skin are not actually harmful, and looking for a solution to get rid of them is more of an aesthetic issue. Stretch marks can appear on the bellies of women who have just given birth – or on the buttocks, legs, thighs, breasts and arms of those who have lost weight.
Now, if you would like to get rid of stretch marks, you should know beforehand that there is actually no permanent solution for this skin condition. However, there are procedures that you can undergo and products that you can use to diminish the appearance of stretch marks. Take a look at the following list:
- Retin-A Stretch Marks Solution
I heard from a friend that Retin-A is effective for getting rid of stretch marks, provided that the scars are still pink or reddish in color.
- Laser Treatment
Perhaps one of the most versatile treatments in the beauty industry, there is a ‘laser’ way of performing a cosmetic procedure – and stretch marks is one of the skin problems which laser treatment can resolve.
- Stretch Mark/Scar Removal Creams
Stretch marks are actually scars which appear as fine lines on your skin. There is a multitude of scar removal/stretch mark removal creams that you can buy over the counter.
On a final note, remember that the appearance of stretch marks depend on the elasticity of your skin. The effectiveness of these stretch mark removal treatments would still depend on each individual – so it is best to consult a dermatologist to determine which one is most suitable for you.
Hi,
I used to have pretty bad stretch marks and red scars around my belly region ever since I gave birth to my three kids.I had tried Vitamin E oil and cocoa butter which a number of people had recommended but unfortunately it didn’t seem to work too well. My Doctor had even suggested that I go for a Tummy Tuck. I then recently read an article about a lady who supposedly got rid of her stretch marks using a particular cream. I tried it and it worked really well. It took a number of weeks but my stretch marks soon faded away. You can read the lady’s article at the link below.

I began using the Dr Max Powers “Stretch Mark Treatment” every single day about two months ago and it works WONDERS. First you can use it for stretch marks and you can use it for scars and to moisturize your face and neck, ladies!
You must follow the instructions even though they are pretty simple. If I am using this for acne scars, skin discolorations (sun exposure), uneven skin tone I apply either over makeup (may not be recommended as this could remove your makeup)and on a freshly washed face.
I use the lengths of my fingers not fingertips since they produce the oils that could cause you breakouts from YES touching your face. I rub into the affected area or scar (even works on cystic acne scars) atleast two to three times a day when I am able to. But if not I do this at night before going to bed. Be patient and wait one to two weeks before you notice a big difference as the scar gets lighter your face appears to be glowing and skin discolorations slowly fade.
Keep on it atleast everyday. I thought it was only for men who workout – based on the way the product looks, but I am glad I bought this and one bottle lasted me over two months and I used it everyday! Give this product a try, be patient, follow the directions and you will not be disappointed.
Hey Nadie,
Thankfully I haven’t felt the need for a solution for stretch marks just yet but if I ever do, I know what to consider. Thanks a ton for your suggestion! :)
