Ways to remove stretch marks

Posts Tagged ‘my stretch marks’

Stretch Marks. If you have them, you probably hate them. Stretch marks are caused when your skin stretches fast. It is pretty common during puberty and when there is rapid weight loss or gain like during pregnancy or muscle building. There is also a genetic component. If your Mom has stretch marks, there is a good chance that you will too. Whatever the reason, one thing is probably certain, you want to get rid of them. There are tons of products out there that claim to get rid of stretch marks, but unless you have an extra thousand of dollars laying around and a lot of time on your hands, there is no way that you could possibly try them all to find out what really works.

I asked around to 10 brave people willing to admit that they had stretch marks and are not taking it sitting down. These people have either been able to get rid of their stretch marks all together or have been able to significantly reduce the look of them. I found the results pretty interesting. It seems as though the best ways to get rid of stretch marks may be at your finger tips. Lotions and oils dominated the list of the best ways to get rid of stretch marks. Whether you are on Team Lotion or Team Oil, one thing is for certain, using either lotion or an oil to get rid of stretch marks seems a lot easier, cheaper and less painful than some other costly treatments. If you are resigned to having stretch marks, some ways to hide them would be to use cosmetic concealers, but if you don't want to go down without a fight, look below for products that can help you.

Yes, you may use my comments. I have a roommate whose got a two year old daughter an she's really depressed about her stomach. I'm getting her to buy a kit as well. There are too many websites that say you can't get rid of stretch marks. When I found yours and realized how inexpensive it was I had to try it, and I'm glad I did.

StriVectin Dull and Dehydrated Kit I went on a completely shopping spree at Sephora last week. I feel like I bought ever single item, set, or kit that I have ever been curious about trying but did not really know much about. That probably explains why I bought the StriVectin Dull and Dehydrated Kit. …

StriVectin Wrinkle and Stretch Mark Cream I had been wanting to try this cream for years. I had seen it in several different magazines, on TV, and in other ads. This cream is over $100, so I figured it must work. I have stretch marks on my hips and lower back that …

Bio Oil Bio Oil is a light non-greasy formula for stretch marks, scars, discolorations, aging and dehydrated skin. I bought it because I tried everything from the ever popular Palmers lotion to 100% cocoa butter when I was pregnant to prevent stretch marks. When these products did not …

October 1, 2000, I delivered a healthy baby boy. However, when I brought my baby home, got the shower water running and started taking off my clothes I was not happy with what I saw. I was happy to see how my breast size had increased (I was a 34A before I had my baby and now a 34D). Besides the fact that I stretch marks on my belly, I had them on my upper thighs, hips, all over my but, all over my calves,(I had stretch marks on my calves before I had my baby but not as much to where I could not where shorts or a dress. Maybe 3 small ones on each calve.) and the back of my arms. My body became a road map of strech marks. I was so depressed. I cried when I got in the shower and when I got out. You see, before I had a baby I was alway the kind of girl to cover up my body. I always had a beautiful shape but never felt the need to show it off. Part of the reason why I stayed cover up was because I never felt feminine because my breast were small and I got teased for that for years. People would tell me how beautiful I am and how i should where a dress or skirt, but I never felt women enough to do that. But after having my baby and seeing how my breast blossomed I was going to lose weight and show off my figure. That dream stayed a dream. My body looked horrible.. I was 19, 5′3 177 bls after having a baby. Before I had the baby i was 130 ibs. I realized how much my body was beautiful before and I should have taken advantage of my youth. Fast foward to 2009. I have worn a dress 3 times in my life. One for my 6th grade graduation, a wedding in 2006 and I was ashamed and depressed because people stared at the stretch marks on my calves and on June 13, 2009 for my college graduation. That graduation was the best day of my life. Besides the fact that I graduated with my bachelors degree I wore a dress above my knees!!!!! I was determined to do so. I read about makeup and covering up marks. I found out about how airbrush makeup could cover up scars and tatttos. I thought maybe it could cover up stretch marks. I checked out airbrush make up artist and they could not cover it up. I had one last airbrush artist to see. I ran out of hope but decided to see her anyway. When I met her, she was warm and friendly. I told her my story and how it is important that I where a dress above my knees and cover up the stretch marks on my calves. She said had could do it(she never had a client with stretch marks before). When she got that airbrush and started spraying my calves with the make up and finished, I looked in the mirror and wanted to cry. My stretch marks was gone!!!! I said “Yes, I could finally wear a dress, shorts and belly tops.” Thanks to Lilly for the dramatic change and impact she has had in my life. Ladies there is hope out there!!!!

Stretch Marks Are My Biggest Regret

I have some of the ugliest stretch marks known to man. It’s rather disgusting and repulsive. Of all the things I have regretted about letting myself get so overweight, it’s my stretch marks that I regret the most. I have bunch of them along my sides that wrap around my love handles. I also have a few on my lower abdomen. Let me not forget the ones on my arms, although I don’t care about those that much since I have had them for years.

IPL Therapy Versus Microderm Abrasion

I hadn't heard about Intense Pulsed Light therapy (also known as PhotoFacial or Light Laser), until last summer, when my friend Donna had 4 IPL treatments for her stretch marks. Stretch marks are usually permanent and even the most effective treatments have a difficult job getting rid of them. But in Donna's case, the intense pulse light therapy worked absolute wonders: 90% of her post-pregnancy stretch marks are almost gone.

I have my own post-pregnancy stretch marks and two years ago I had them treated with professional microdermabrasion and cocoa body butter. They are a lot less visible, but haven't faded as much as Donna's. So, what makes IPL therapy more effective than microdermabration?

“Stretch marks come from a person gaining weight and then all of a sudden losing the weight. This leaves your skin stretched out, which in turn leaves you with ugly stretch marks.

I’ve always been embarrassed about my stretch marks. I used to love going to the beach, but ever since I got stretch marks, I feel very uncomfortable in a bathing suit and I never end up going to the beach anymore. So here is what I’ve been trying, and I think I have seen some results. Every three nights, I take a hot shower before bed, where I use a washcloth and some exfoliating cream designed for your face to rub onto my stretch marks. The whole area gets a little pinkish-red, which is good. Then, right before bed, I have been putting on a thin layer of Retin-A. The Retin-A has irritated my skin, and it’s made my skin very itchy and peeling like a sunburn, but I feel like the stretch marks are fading quite a bit. They are really old, so they’re like silvery/white, but I have noticed that my skin is much firmer than it was, and the skin itself, like the texture, is more consistent with that of my regular skin. In the morning, as well, I put a thin layer of Vitamin E oil on my stretch marks. I’ve also been eating more lean protein, and taking extra supplements of Biotin and Vitamin E. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, or maybe I am seeing an improvement. I’m not suggesting anyone else try it, I’m not a doctor, but I really feel like it’s working. I also just got a bottle of Trilastin-SR, maybe I will try that on one section of my stretch marks and the Retin-A on the other, and see what happens.

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 22, 2009 – Meet Amy Loca, a 32 year old mother of two, who struggled to get rid of stretch marks after both of her pregnancies. Amy is not unlike many other women these days, who are faced by an onslaught of television and radio advertisements for “miracle” cures, expensive diets and workouts and costly surgical procedures.

Amy tried many different stretch mark creams after the birth of her second child, many of which claimed to get rid of stretch marks instantly, and were expensive and quite frustrating to use. She ended up finding the miracle creams Resveratrol (Which has recently been featured on 60 Minutes with Barbara Walters) and Cosmetyn.

Lucky for Amy, and hundreds of thousands of other women in her predicament, she was able to reduce and eliminate her stretch marks with the combination of these two amazing products.
