Anyone ever have laser surgery to remove stretch mark? Did it work?

Gah, I don't know. If they do have this though, I am definitely going to get it done. And you are right, the lotions and creams do NOT work. :-( Sadly but surely.

Hi :0)\nYes, Ive had some success with scar reduction patches. You can buy them over the counter at boots or you can consider using diluted lavender oil with helps prevent a buildup of too much scar tissue around an injury.

Hi DJ, I do not what to disappoint you, but I have got stretch marks as well and I can tell you that none of all so-called stretch removal creams or alike do not help, do not waste money.However, I can suggest you how to prevent a new stretch marks - Usually you fell itchy in particular parts, so do not scratch and if it is possible apply moisturizing creams or oils, but try not to scratch. My sister was pregnant, she followed my advise I she does not have stretches on tummy, but she did not take care of her legs (because she gained weight)and there are stretch marks.Take care

stretch marks happen when your skin has to rapidly grow due to weight gain, puberty, height and pregnancy.  you can use coacoa butter lotion to help but once you get them they are there forever.  they are scars.  you cannot surgically remove scars.  they can just reduce the appearance.  they are PERMANET.\n\ndont worry.  almost everyone has them for some reason or another.  I got mine from puberty when my boobs and hips grew.

if u already have them, try to life with them, i spend $$$$ on them, but they didn't move a bit, and a laser gave me an extra scar . but u can prevent it by not gaining and losing weight all the time too and moisturise ur body frequently will help a little.

Time...inexpensive and that is all it takes.\n\nYour stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable months after you give birth (or after losing a lot of weight) 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\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.

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!!

My friend had a really good experience with removing a "spot" that was worrisome to the doc.  As for cosmetic lasers, get the credentials and references.

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!

Stretch marks are caused when skin is stretched at a rapid rate either by gaining or loosing weight.\n\nIt is effectively scarring of the skin so is quite difficult to get rid of. However, you can buy creams to treat stretch marks and they do fade over time. The most effective and cheap way of treating them is by regulary using a really good moisturser to keep the skin supple.

No stretch marks do not go away and you can not get rid of them without surgery. They do fade though

My plastic surgeon told me not to do that, and he used a YAG on me.  My tattoo was multi-colored with a lot of black, it took about a year, but it cleared up nicely.  He did advise me to use some scar reducing cream and skin cream on the area to reduce and afteraffects of the laser.  You can't even tell where my tattoo was now. Just be patient and it'll clear up sooner than you think.

It brings out the woman in a woman.. Do not be embarrassed. There is NOTHING wrong with stretch marks... Women who go to surgery to get rid of them is ridiculous and a waste of money.

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!!!

Stretch marks are indeed scars and they dont go away.  I think they faint a little bit with time and getting some sun hides them a bit. What I use that really works to prevent them is a Stretch mark smoothing cream.  I put it on before bed every night, it makes your skin softer and more elastic.  Dont stop exercising, dont be afraid to loose weight.  One thing important though is that you need to be moderate in the way you loose your weight, if you loose a lot fast, you will get more stretch marks than if you loose it slowly.  Buy a stretch mark cream, they really work.  I hate giving brand names, but the one sold by Avon is the one I use.  Dont believe cream advertisings that say they will make your stretch marks disappear- its a lie.  Work in preventing them.  Good health to you.
