Stretch Marks!!

[Guest]

To the person contemplating suicide..dont. Keep the faith, do some sort of routine, it will make you feel better. See a counsellor if needs be but just remember you are not alone, we are all suffering from these marks. Bear in mind too, if you a relatively young there may well be a cure just round the corner, what would really suck is if you killed yourself, and then the cure was all over the news the next day. Think about how bad that would be.

To the person asking how many peels, I have not counted them as such, I have done quite a few peels, but I really am treating such a large area of my body that it just takes time. I have to rotate areas so that everywhere is not peeling at the same time and each area is allowed a rest period. All I can say is that my skin is now less stretch marked than it has been since I started, its closer to normal skin than when I started, but the marks have not completely gone from any of the areas yet.

Thank you, Tracy121 for your reply a few pages back.

I have news: I have healed up from my peels (more or less) and I can see an improvement that I am happy with already!! Much less visible marks in terms of depth and texture!! Hooray!

Still a long way to go though. I will wait about a month now, then do another peel. Overall I'm feeling optimistic. I would say that with peels etc so far I have improved the marks on my belly about 30%, which I think is ok.

I am hoping that once I can afford a laser treatment, this will help to improve them even further...

Chin up everyone out there and keep faith that they can at least be improved!!

im contemplating suicide more and more each day because of this...everytime i look in the mirror and see the 40% of my back thats covered in deep red stretch marks...knowing that they will never go away just makes me want to give up..

I did suicide before and will probably do it again. But please dont spam this forum. I hate skimming through all 400 page again trying to find the important message.

For those using TCA acid. How long did it take for peeling to start. I applied very thin layer of 50% tca acid, it didn't peel at all after 13 day. And it looks like it isn't even going to.

I noticed with tca a couple of times when I first started using it that I had to apply multiple layers to get it to peel. As in, I applied a layer the first day but on the 2nd day I just felt it was not going to be enough so applied another layer. I am not suggesting you do that with 50% though, it may be that you are resistant to it, or that its gone off if you have had it for a long time. Perhaps you could try diluting it then do a multi layer application to a small area of skin (somewhere you have not recently applied it to) and see if that peels? Most people start to peel after 5 days or so, but I try and make it take longer by keeping the skin really moist, so usually don't peel until around 7 days.

To whoever was going to commit suicide take heed.

I read an interview with pharrel williams of NERD fame. He's having this surgery wherein he is having his skin cloned then sown onto him (i dont know the particulars but this is what he was chattin about) - fair enough its to cover up his tatoos, but reckon that this may be something that will be replicated for sms.

Wish i knew him personally to ask the name of his surgeon, or the proceedure, but suprisingly i dont.

My sms are everywhere. Arms, Hips, thighs, boobs (which kills me), bum and lower back. My sister has them everywhere too. I wish i had cure (or time for a routine like js to try to cure them - but am workin sooo hard i cant commit) But theres hope. HOPE.

Dont give up, just cos we dont know every procedure goin - dont mean there arent any out there that can cure em.

Has anyone had actual dermabrasion done? not micro but the heavy supposedly really expensive dermabrasion? Or... "Dermasound"? I strangely couldn't find dermabrasion options in my area but I did find that, I guess it 'gently' exfoliates '25-50% of the skin's top layers' and cost only about $125.

I heard about that too!!! It's crazy! That would be a miracle if it actually worked. I'm sure I'd have to rob a bank to be able to afford it... and at this point, I'm willing to do anything. Haha

i heard its costing him 6 figures (a few hundred thousand dollars). thats for the area the size of a small fireball on his arms.

i estimate for me to remove all my stretch marsk via this method it would cost me around 30million

whose up for robbing that bank

well i was searchin ebay trying to find a reputable seller of tca, and whilst looking through the feedback (hundreds of the post) i saw someone who said she had removed her stretch marks in 11 peels, lots of other good comments too but obviously not all of them had used it on stretch marks and most just leave a reply saying something along the lines of "good product good delivery " or "poor delivery".

So I called in to a national talk radio show about dermatology. I asked the doctor if there was anything that "cured" stretch marks or even diminished them. She said that the fraxel co2 laser was the only thing she said improved the sm's at all. And that it only softened them. She said nothing will remove them. I asked about retin-a and she said it does nothing. So I asked about TCA peels and she said that she would never recommend peels on the body because you can easily get burned and it can cause scarring. But... she didn't say that it wouldn't work or at least help. I'm thinking perhaps she wouldn't want to put herself on the line and okay it and then have tons of people harm themselves. When I go to my dermatologist next week I'll be more specific and ask "if done by a professional, would TCA peels work?"

We'll see. I'm not giving up hope!

TCA definitely improves stretch marks on some people. Ok I cannot say it will definitely remove mine, (until it has removed them), but it certainly gives the very best chance of complete removal imo and I have a lot of confidence in it.
