can you get rid of strectch marks?!
Question:
Answers:
No over-the-counter cream or lotion can remove those lines. Stretch marks occur in the middle layer of the skin, called the dermis, and common creams can't reach that far deep. Vitamin E and cocoa butter treatments can make your skin feel soft and supple, but they won't make your skin mark-free. You'll need to talk to a doctor, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon if you want to seriously reduce the lines. Prescription creams containing Tretinoin, also called Retin-A, may help reduce the appearance of fresh stretch marks. These creams should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This type of treatment will not eliminate stretch marks completely, and it won't work on older marks that have already faded from red. Laser surgery is sometimes used to lessen the severity of stretch marks, but the results are mixed. Microdermabrasion has been somewhat more successful in changing the appearance of stretch marks. Both treatments are expensive and should only be performed by qualified doctors.

Cocoa Butter let the label tell it. But I don't really see where. I think laser would be a definite thing.
The purple kind: yea. use scar zone ointment and they clear up.
The white kind: I don't think so. If you find out tell me!
it's impossible. they will fade over time, but you can't get rid of them.
They can be lasered off
cocoa butter :)
Coco butter. Go to WalMart and buy the kind that has a pic of a pregnant chick on the front. It works really good.
Vitamin E applied topicly
yes. put baby oil on them.

i have them
It's as difficult as getting rid of annoying people.
I don't think they will ever fully go away. There are lots of lotion minimizer's, but they only fade to certain point.

Technically NO however you can severely reduce the look to almost non existent by toning that part of ure body and using lotions that reduce the appearance. also i've heard that models have done the wrapping clothes of hot coffee grounds around the area that has cellulite will reduce the appearance and give the skin a great smooth looking finish. i havent tried that and i dont have alot of cellulite but i have used lotions and worked out and mine is practically not there.
Nope, they will never go away, but they will fade over time. I know this from experience.
