Question 3

how do i get rid of my stretch marks. i'm 13 and i have had stretch marks a while now. how do i get rid of them???

Accepted Answer

You need to see a: doctor who specializes in lasers (preferably one who is a fellow of the American Board of Laser Medicine and Surgery), to discuss treatment options. Early stretch marks on younger individuals respond the best to laser treatments, but it can be costly.

Question 4

can surgery on my tigh get rid of my stretch marks?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Unless you lost a significant amount of weight and then had a skin reduction surgery that removed the area with strech marks. As far as I know there is no way to surgically remove strech marks, and if tried you would most likely end up with surgical scars instead. If these strecthmarks are from a pregnancy, just wear your 'Tiger Mom Stripes' with pride, they are beautiful!

Question 5

will carboxytherapy help get rid of my stretch marks?

Accepted Answer

No: Stretch marks are tears in the skin cause by weight gain. They can be covered up, but not improved by creams and lotions. Carboxy (or any other so-called "therapy", is quackery. 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

Nothing: 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 7

Accepted Answer

Creams vs procedure: You can use mederma to treat the scarring it may improve it.  Microneedling can work, chemical peels can improve, laser treatment.  Prevention is to not stretch skin.  Weight gain will cause skin to stretch.

Question 8

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 9

would laser surgery help get rid of my stretch marks?

Accepted Answer

Expensive: You can try it, but it's very expensive -- up to $1, 000 per treatment for multiple treatments. Check w/a good plastic surgeon for their advice.
