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!

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 are lots of commercials that say you can get rid of stretch marks.  Unfortunatly once you have stretch marks  you will probably always have them.  You can use some lotions and creams, and in time they do fade, but they will always remain.  Vitamin E and Aloe Vera are good things to apply to them, but just help make them less visable.  I am not sure if you can get a chemical peel or not for them.  That of cource would be cosmetic surgery, and I suppose if you chose that route they may be able to help you.  \nGood luck and I hope this helps!

Just let time take care of them and don't waste your money on those creams that are suppose to get rid of stretch marks, they don't work.  I have stretch marks from being pregnant and I am 21 too.  I hate them sooooo much, but I have to let time do it's thang!!!

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

unfortunately, stretchmarks are scars.  they will not go away.  you can however lighten them.  try rubbing cocoa butter lotion on them a couple times a day.  this will lighten them with some time.  you can also try maderma.  its a special cream designed for stretch marks.  you can buy it at walmart or and drug store.  im sure you can probably get it online as well.  just remember scars add character!!  the human body is full of flaws, but for that reason it is beautiful.

Actually you can remove stretch marks with cocoa butter. It comes in two forms,the stick, and a lotion. Then stick works very well! When beginning you might see the stretch marks darken but after that they will lighten and eventually disappear!

100% pure cocoa butter. Put it on everyday and throw some aloe in there. You're stretch marks should start to be a lot less noticable within a few months (I don't know when they fully dissappear).

Stretch marks are an inevitable result of pregnancy or rapid weight loss for some men and women. However, the following steps may help you reduce their appearance.\nInstructions \nSTEP 1: Brush your skin with a loofah or skin brush when you shower to stimulate circulation. STEP 2: Massage cocoa butter into the stretch marks. STEP 3: Use vitamin E oil on your stretch marks. Massage it into your skin after a shower. STEP 4: Talk to your doctor about using tretinoin cream on stretch marks. It is available by prescription only. STEP 5: Eat foods high in vitamins A, E and C (see Related eHows), or take supplements in addition to your diet. However, pregnant women should avoid taking more than 25,000 IU of vitamin A. STEP 6: Add foods or supplements to your diet that are high in zinc (see Related eHow), which is good for the skin, and silica (beets, brown rice, bell peppers, soybeans, leafy green vegetables and whole grains), which helps form collagen, the supporting fibers in the skin. STEP 7: Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids, which help make cell walls. Essential fatty acids can be found in many vegetables, vegetable oils and fish oils. Tips & Warnings \nLasers have shown some promise in reducing the appearance of stretch marks. They seem to work best on stretch marks that are still fairly new and are red or purple in color. \nCheck your local supermarket or drugstore for commercial creams such as Belly Butter, a moisturizing and replenishing maternity body cream. \nAlways consult your doctor or a medical professional before making changes to your diet.

Unfortunately you can never get rid of stretch marks once they're there - sucks, doesn't it. But they will fade in time to a silvery white colour, everyone says they're hardly noticable but I'm very self conscious about mine and I think they're quite obvious. But anyway, you can pay a fortune for creams and stuff that claim to get rid of them, but none of them actually work. Best bet is to buy some Palmers cocoa butter (you can get it in most pharmacies) and use it daily. It won't get rid of the stretch marks, but it'll help them fade a bit quicker and it'll also mean you won't get more if you put on more weight.

You cannot get rid of stretch marks.  You can prevent them by using moisturizer.  \n\nIf you have to get rid of them no matter what, lazer surgery might work.

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!!!

There is NO cure for stretch marks. Once you have them they will never go away.  They will fade, and become less obvious, but never go away.  Learn to love your body, stretch marks and all.

coco butter is the "standard" strech mark cure.  Some of the scare remover creams work much better though.
