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!

Depends on how deep they are. I can still see mine but they are much lighter.  You should take extra good care of the skin on your belly.  Try using Bath and Body Works Shea Body Butter.  I used this at the end of my pregnancy and I wished I would have discovered it earlier.  You can also but stratch mark cream at Target in the lotion aisle.  Both these will keep the skin moist less stretch marks.

They say there isnt much you can do but I believe that Yoga and stretching can help . If your skin is used to streching then the sudden strain put on it by your changing body will not have the devastating effect that it might have. Keeping skin from getting to dry is a good technique as well. I dont believe the hype about certain lotions being specifically for stretch marks. \n\nIt probably does have to do with genetics and how much elastin is in your specific skin. But having healthy skin will definantly help. \n\nIve had 3 kids and no stretch marks at all. I have however gotten some on my thighs from gaining weight in the past. \n\nIf you are very thin and get very large in your pregnancy I dont think there is much you can do to prevent it. Something has to give.\n\nVitamin E oil is very good for skin. Calendula oil is another one Ive used.\n\nAvoid petroleum based lotions, they make you soft to begin with but dry you out in the long run. Its sort of a pointless venture. Don't use lotions with alcohol either. Alcohol will dry your skin out. Most have alcohol. I recommend a natural oil.

use Vitamin E enriched creams or lotions. Vitamin E helps in reducing stretch marks.

There are creams that are available at the local walmart that can decrease the appearance of scares, these creams are most commonly used for stretch marks. Creams will only lighten the scars, which happens naturally eventually. The only way to eliminate scares is laser surgery, which is expensive and can be dangerous. I would encourage you to wear them proudly, like battle scares. They represent a bad time in your life, but one you survived. Good luck.

Try rubbing the areas with lemon juice every day, it helps fade the marks quite well...;

There is a coco butter cream that you can use for stretch marks. Look in your local drugstore in the baby isle. It comes in a little jar. I am married and don't care about my stretch marks and neither did my husband. Some men don't even see the stretch marks. We see them more because it affects our own personal image and it also plays on our self esteem. They don't change who you are and no man will think that either.

mederma.  you can buy it at wal*mart, walgreens... this works great on scars and stretch marks.  you have to be religious about applying it but it makes them really fade away faster then time alone or lotions.

The stretch marks are actually the very thin skin in between.\n\nUnfortunately there's not anything that will remove them.  It's "emergency skin" due to fast weight gain (pregnancy).\n\nYou can improve the appearance by using prescription Retin-A .1% cream.  Take about 3 months to see progress.\n\nWe discuss stretch marks and extra skin after weight loss at the Kimkins Diet site.\n\nWarning - Don't use Retin-A if you're nursing or pregnant.  It's serious medicine.

Your stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable months after you give birth but will never go away as they are similar to scars.  However, you can see a dermatologist to discuss treatment. Here are a few options:\n\ntretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A)\nlaser therapy\n\nYour health insurance plan will not cover "cosmetic" procedures so you'll probably want to find out what this will cost.

There's no way that i know of personally to get rid of stretchmarks. There are however ways to lighten them up so that they aren't as apparent. There are treatment creams for making them lighter.

palmer's cocoa butter.\n\nyou will want to rub it in 2-3 times a day.  you should look for it in the tub.  it is thicker than regular creams.  the thicker the better.  it takes a while to disappear, but mostly my opinion is that the constant rubbing motion is what helps reduce the stretch marks.  we have had two children and no obvious marks, only a few in the hair line.  you can even find this stuff on e-bay.\nhope this helps.\ngood luck

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!

There are a variety of creams and lotions to prevent stretch marks which you can find at any local grocery/department store (such as Walmart and Target), but I believe you may have to pay to have them removed. Consult with your family doctor for other options.

To prevent stretch marks and scars effectively use cocoa butter or a mixture of olive oil and herbs. You can find more cheap and natural remedies for stretch marks and scars at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/stretchmarks

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
