Question 1

is there anyway to get rid of my stretch marks i put bio oil on them everyday! i do exercise 3 times a week?

Accepted Answer

Tough to treat: Striae are difficult to treat. Start by keeping the skin well moisturized. Also you can try a prescription strength retinoid like tazarotene.
If they are red, I use the excel v laser to remove the redness followed by treatment with a resurfacing laser.  Discuss your options with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Question 2

which oils are best to use to get rid of stretch marks on legs, thighs and buttocks ?

Accepted Answer

Stretch marks: Cocoa butter or Mederma scar gel

Question 3

how do i get rid of stretch marks fast?

Accepted Answer

Sorry: Stretch marks are tears in the skin cause by weight gain. They can be covered up, but not improved by creams and lotions. The only possibly effective therapy is cosmetic plastic surgery, but that's a big step for a non-health and non-life threatening problem.

Question 4

how can you reduce or get rid of stretch marks?

Accepted Answer

Limited options: Please see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for evaluation. Possible treatments include fractional laser resurfacing, dermabrasion & medication (i.e., retinoids).

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Nope!: Stretch marks are tears in the skin cause by weight gain. They can be covered up, but not improved by creams and lotions. The only possibly effective therapy is cosmetic plastic surgery, but that's a big step for a non-health and non-life threatening problem.

Question 6

how do you get rid of stretch marks in a natural way?

Accepted Answer

Can't be done: A stretch mark is essentially a scar.  Although there are ways to make stretch marks less noticeable, there is nothing you can do naturally that will help--despite claims otherwise.

Question 7

how do you get rid of stretch marks around your pecks?

Accepted Answer

Fractional laser: Stretch marks can be  improved in their appearance through the use of fractional laser such as the fraxel laser,  or by using a micro-needling technique.   Unfortunately there is no perfect solution for stretch marks at this time.

Question 8

what is the most effective way to get rid of stretch marks?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: No topicals work well.

Question 9

how can i get rid of stretch marks? is it possible to get rid of stretch marks?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin E: Stretch marks are premanent, they may fade with time but they do not go away.  Lotions with vitamin E will cause them to fade a bit quicker, but will not make them disappear.

Question 10

how do you get rid of stretch marks and cellulite?

Accepted Answer

Very hard: Stretch marks are permanent on skin but you can avoid getting stretch marks again by stretching before training,or you can make them appear less by tanning.
You can get stretch marks from sudden weight gain or sudden weight loss.
