Is there a cream or treatment to effectively remove old stretch marks on dark skin?

I use cocoa butter for skin marks, however, I have very light skin.

Likas Papaya and Biolink works better. Use Magic Cream for dark pigmentations and scars. It really works.

I heard about a laser that can fade stretch marks. Non invasive. But you have to have like 10 or so treatments. and they can cost about 2000 plus total. Like a couple hundred dollars a visit.

I've found that using a cocoa butter lotion has worked weel in lightening my scars. There is also a lightening product called Nadolina which has worked well from the scars on my face. Raised scars generally don't fade, simply shrink with time. You could also try a body dremabrasion. I use micro dremabrasion for my face and this is probably one of the more effective ways to removes scaring. It has helped with my face and other scars on my body.

Stretch marks are Heriditary-your genes usually dictate if and when they will occur.\nThey fade, but only removal with a laser is the definite way to get rid of them. Some people say Retin A works, but DON"T use this while pregnant or Breastfeeding.\nTry palmer's cocoa butter for the dry skin. Good luck with your pregnancy!

Change your diet to inclued more vegetable and fruits. Cut out as much meat such as beef and pork as possible. Do leg exercises and walk at least two miles a day. In the evening before bed put aloe vera gel from the plant directly on the stretch marks and let dry. Do this every day until the stretch marks are gone. Aloe Vera in it's purest form, directly from the leaf is used on burn patients to keep the scarring to a minimum and to help heal the damaged skin.

There is no non-surgical way to get rid of this excess skin. \n\nSkin does have some elasticity for normal weight gain and loss, but when the skin has been stretched to accommodate vast quantities of fatty tissue or pregnancy, this damage is PERMANENT snd creams and lotions only serve to reduce discolouration.\n\nThis is also true for stretch marks! No way on this earth to remove these either! I have been to several medical practitioners with this problem, and they all say the same thing!

Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do to remove those marks. But the good news is that you will get fewer if you ever get pregnant again. There is no cream or anything that will tae those off. It happens to everyone.

Unfortunately, stretch marks never go away, but they can fade with time.  When I went through puberty, I went from being flat as a board to being a voluptious C in a matter of a month.  When you grow that fast, your skin can't catch up and you end up with stretch marks. I had very dark stretch marks from it.  Use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Creme, which is also recommended for pregnant women to prevent stretch marks.  \n\nI've been told baby oil can also help, but I haven't tried it myself. \n\nYou're young, and they will fade.  You can hardly see mine now.  I'm Japanese and I have a darker shade of skin, and I've noticed that when I get too much sun, the stretch marks are more noticable, so you might want to limit sun exposure and use a higher SPF.  \n\nDon't be self-conscious!  Everyone has little "blemishes" about them.  You're beautiful!  \n\nHope this helps!!!

I have two children, and where my stomach expanded so much (I was real small before) I have alot of stretch marks. The coco butter theory didnt really work, i tryed - but there's a creme call Eucerin that I started using and it made a big difference, and also Tanning helps them (or the illusion of them). But before i had a few big ones that almost looked like scars and the eucerin actually faded them all the way gone

Go to a dermatologist.  No home remedy will make those marks disappear.

i'm sorry to say this but, there is really no way to get rid of stretch marks.. using vitamin E lotions helps to prevent them during pregnancy but i'm almost positive there is no way to get rid of them once you have them.. i'm sorry! you might try a skin tightening cream.. it may help? good luck!

Sorry, you are out of luck.  Just opt for full coverage trunks or push your vanity aside and wear what you want...your choice.  If you have stretch marks, you must have lost a lot of weight...congrats on that.  \n\nYour stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable but will never go away as they are similar to scars. The only option is the one you can't afford, seeing a dermatologist to discuss treatment. Here are a few options:\n\n1. tretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A)\n2. laser therapy\n\nYour health insurance plan will not cover "cosmetic" procedures so you'll probably want to find out what this will cost.

A good moisturiser containing collagen and elastin should help.If the marks are really bad get a cosmetic brand of cellulite cream and use that. They should fade on their own anyway but it depends on how bad they are. How long have you had them and are they on your stomach or breasts or both?
