Stretch Marks: is there a Magic Wand?

  • Howdy Y'all!!

    Anyone have a good way to make stretch marks less visible / dissapear? I've tried most creams all to no avail- mine are not red anymore, but are still annoying!!!
    Also, Is it true that you can get stretch marks by losing weight too, or is this just a myth.

    Thanks!!
  • You are unfortunately stuck with them forever. Check out the Skin FAQ over in the maintainer's forum for more information.
  • They do fade over time, but you have them forever. I think there are surgical alternatives via plastic surgery, but I'm not savvy enough to comment on that option.
  • Fair enough. Thanks

    PS I think that michaelangelo quote couldn't be more inspirational or appropriate for these forums!!! Do u mind if I copy cat? I love iT!!!
  • Of course you can I love it too.

    Not even the wonders of ps can get rid of the stretch marks........ only the stretch marks that are on redundant pieces of skin that a surgeon would remove as a part of a tummy tuck or thighplasty and the like. And that isn't much.
  • That's funny shrinkingchica - reminds me of what my grandad used to say when we stained our clothes- - "how am I going to get this out?" to which he'd reply "with a pair of warm scissors" The one thing I learned is getting a bit of a tan does help disguise them to an extent.
