Stretch Mark Solutions?

KatieRL1979

What products, if any, are you using to treat your stretchmarks?  How much does it cost you and how often do you have to do it?

I'm using the Bio Oil twice a day.  Been doing it a little over a week now and some of the smaller areas seem to be improving and the darker lines are starting to lighten up.  Packaging says to use it a minimum of 3 months (2x daily).

Time seems to help.  I'm 6 months pp and my stretch marks have faded considerably and I just use Vitamin E oil and cocoa butter sporatically.

The ultimate solution...the Knife!

Yeah I'll be considering a tummy tuck after we are done having babies.... depending on the financials...

I'm a pediatric derm PA (but we see adults as well) and I'm sorry to say, there is no product that really gets rid of stretch marks. They will lighten and fade with time, but for patients who insist on something, we recommend Mederma scar cream. The only thing out there to get rid of them is laser, and I don't really think that works too well!

I know the only way to get rid of them would be surgical - so my goal is just to lighten them as much as I can, especially the really dark lines - looks like my daughter got a hold of the sharpie marker and drew on me
