Stretch marks?

I have heard time and time again, that stretch marks wont ever go away. But without doing laser surgery, is there a way to speed up the process of fading stretchmarks?

    I am sorry, but there's none. Best you can do is buy stretchmark fading lotions. It won't make the stretchmarks GO AWAY though. It will just fade and turn into a lighter one that may possibly be hardly seen. Then again, if you really want it out PERMANENTLY anfd FAST, the only way is for you to have a surgery.

    Stretch marks do go away. You just have to hit the gym. Working out and tightening up the skin will fade them.

    Try mixing Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E Oil, and a lotion with Collegan in it. All three have a healthy effect on the skin but mixed togather they are alot more potent. I use them and i had very bad stretch marks but its gradually fading them out.

    There are so many products on the market now, you could try a few, lotions or products just for stretch marks. When I was pregnant I was concerned about it also. I used cocoa butter religiously during my pregnancies since that is when they occur.

    Apply aloe vera gel, twice a day minimum. It renews epithelial cells in the skin. inexpensive, safe, mousturises also. It cures burns without leaving scars. So strech marks is a left hand job for this natural product.

    But one caution. Do not use ready gel, it contains preservative to which u may be allergic. keep a plant in your house, best if it gets sunlight. cut one inch piece of its leaf and remove pulp. Fresh pulp is very active.

    Stretch marks have affected all layers of skin. There are ways to minimize the appearance. see a dermatologist for your particular issue.

    Don't worry about it, they don't bother guys as much as they do women. It's just part of womanhood. Certainly not worth having surgery over. Just rub some cocoa butter and man gravy on them once in a while. :-)

    I would use vitamin E oil. Take the capsules and cut them open and apply!

    My friend used cocoa butter during pregnancy, which minimized the scars, now she is using Maderma and swears by it!

    They can go away.

    I know a couple who have used this and it worked for them, although it took a couple of months. No personal experience though:
