what's the best cure for post partum stretch marks?

I wish I could post my belly pic as I have the most heinous stretchies ever...I cant find a finger width of normal skin between them. You can have laser treatment (think tattoo removal) but it only eliminates 30% of the marks.  Don't bother with the cocoa butter stuff as that does as much for stretch marks as the gas and air does for labour pain (not much).  Apparently Bio oil can reduce them but not cure them. Just resolve never to wear a bikini again, or get them tattoo'd over to look like tiger stripes!!

Growth or weight gain causes stretch marks (like pregnant women get on their belly). Weight loss assists, but the best way is to buy special lotions for strech mark removal. available at most chemists.

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!

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!

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.

I just had my baby last july and I am very similar to you , I was always tiny and i started showing with pregnancy around 6 monthes and got horrible stretch marks\nMy husband knows someone who said zantrex worked really well for a diet pill , I read the reviews and they said that they're loaded with caffeine though, so be careful! and about the stretch marks well they eventually fade too white there's laser surgery though and i've been told several times to continuosly use coca butter and they will eventually disappear! Good Luck and Congratulations!!

seriously, there is no magic cream out there that is going to get rid of stretch marks or cellulite. mederma is a cream you can buy at most drug stores, it isn't cheap, about 25 dollars a tube. it will diminish the look of the stretch marks and scars but will not totally get rid of them. as far as cellulite, exercise is the best remedy. there is no cream that can take care of that. you just have to be happy with yourself sweetie. love your body and all it's flaws.  try to fix them if it means that much, but in the end, your skin will wrinkle anyway. if you're doing this for someone else, tell them to go to hell! just be true to yourself!

Use Lubriderm lotion that includes cocoa and Shea butters. Or you can purchase some Palmer's cocoa butter especially for Stretch Marks. The bottle reads "Palmer's Cocoa Butter for Stretch Marks with a pregnant women on it, so you want over look it. You can find it in Wal-mart definitely.

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?

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!

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.

Stretch marks not only come from pregnant and fat people, but also unhealthy skin.  You should take some omega 3 fatty acids for your skin's health.  You need to moisturize as well.  Most of us have stretch marks.  They are really hard to get rid of.  Prevent by eating right (Sugar ages you and your skin FAST so treat it like the poison it is) and keeping your skin moist from the inside and outside.\nGood luck!

You can usually find some sort of Vitamin E cream for stretch marks at a drugstore or WalMart.

Diet and exercise are integral to stretch mark treatment geared to prevent the appearance of the mark. Stretch mark occurs when the skin loses its elasticity and suppleness. Thus you should have protein-intensive foods like diary products and eggs, Vitamins A, C and D-enriched foods like carrots, oranges and lemon and zinc-containing fish and nuts to maintain a healthy skin.\n\nDrink plenty of water and steer clear off aerated and caffeinated drinks. After all what you eat shows on you!\n\nAlso, have your daily quota of exercise in some form or the other. Regular exercise has its proven benefits: a sculpted body, improved blood circulation and healthy, firm skin.
