Whats the best way to get rid of stretch marks?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Pick your parents: Stretch marks are tough because they are usually genetic and related to the type of skin inherited from your parents. Prevention -- avoiding rapid weight gain is probably the best treatment. There are some things that dermatologists may recommend, but usually these don't help much.

Usually: Surgery. Topicals do little and lasers are not very effective.
