Stretch Marks!!

[Guest]

I think you three appeared in Macbeth..

Its amazing that with so much evidence, pics etc of tca improving all kinds of skin blemishes, that you even bother coming on here. I mean if nothing can rid you of your marks why are you even bothering.

I might add Mai, that I could be critical of someone injecting cp's but I won't bother to say how silly and pointless that probably is.

I think you 3 have done enough patronising and poisoning now. I won't be leaving this board because of you, so you might as well just ignore me because I am tired of the insults from 3 people that I don't know, or care to know (going off your behaviour on here.) If you find me so distasteful, distrustful etc then don't bother talking about me at all and I will do likewise.

And I will say it once again, I have never promoted skinbiology, in fact I have posted a few times saying cp's did not seem that good..to me.

its hilarious that people think im jealous of j...ha theres not a dermotologist alive that will tell u tca peels work lol........they dont work.this is the same j that swore up and down that some other product worked...........then had to admit that it didnt........so she lied once ..........but is now speaking the truth?wow we have some real bright folks on here.also she refuses to post pics with some nonsense about not having before pics so it would not be worth it...post them fraud!!! u also claim never to talk about skinbiolgy??lololom then how to I know u buy it there........cua youve promoted them several times.400 hundred pages over 5 years and tca has cured no one..........no proof other then "j" s word............i feel sorry for u clowns on here looking for your snake oil.There is no cure.the most u can do is turn them white.btw im a guy not a lady.

And I am going to add for you in particular. I buy my tca from platinumskincare, which I think I have said on here before. I have never bought anything from skinbiology, not even cp's, I bought them from psc too. I bought glycolic acid from lookgr8 on ebay and also from platinumskincare so I would love to know where you saw that I was buying it from skinbiology.

The only place I have before pics of is my leg, so I was completely correct in saying there is no point in my posting pics of anywhere else as I have no before pics to back up any improvements.

Since there is so much hatred toward me from a few unhappy people there is really no point in my posting update pics until I completely remove the marks, or have given enough time for them to go, which considering I am doing peels on a large proportion of my body is not going to be overnight. I am not treating one small area, I am treating a very large area of skin and we all know these things take time.

Personally I think you should seek professional help because the degree of hatred you are displaying is extremely worrying, and not normal in my opinion. I have done nothing to you and want nothing to do with you. For the sake of this board I certainly hope you find something to work for you, because then you might grow up a bit.

If you continue to make accusations against me which are not true, which you seem more than happy to do, I am going to complain to the mods about you.

Jesus J,
I was trying to defend you. Way to jump down my throat.

Look, you can't deny that I would have reason to doubt you. Hopefully you will prove us all wrong with pictures, believe me, if you do that, then I will THRILLED to gravel at your feet and beg your forgiveness. And even if you dont think so, I am rooting for you. I would LOVE for TCA to work.

Also I DO NOT BELIEVE you are promoting any site. I even said you couldnt be promoting skin-bio, because they don't sell tca.
also, for what its worth, I do admire you for continuing to keep trying to remove your stretch marks and not giving up after other methods have failed you, and you are better than a lot of other people because you are willing to back up what you say with pictures.
.
As for your being critical of my injecting cps, well thats fine. I didnt think of it myself, someone on another site said it worked, just like you are using TCA because someone else said it worked...

I was not trying to be mean, and I was suggesting that whoever the crazy . poster is, lay off, but if you wish to interpret it differently.
fine.

Hi Mai

I was just giving you a taste of what it is when people you don't know are critical of what you are trying. I would not have even bothered commenting on your method at all where it not for your comments on a few occasions about mine.

Just to set the record straight once and for all.

GA - removed a few marks dimished all marks, but not as good as I first thought (sorry I did not know I was not allowed to change my opinion)

Foot file - definitely completely removed some marks in a few areas, but I believe these where new marks as it did not remove any others. those marks have not returned

TCA - has not removed any marks as far as I can tell, but has significantly reduced the size of near enough all of them bar a few problem areas, which are more sluggish. I have noticed too that on areas like my bum the improvements have continued even though I have not done a peel there for awhile. It may be that because I am using a lower strength it is not working as well as it did for brigetta or whatever she was called, but I can't risk the higher strengths as I have brown skin

I hope tca completely removes my marks too, but not to prove a point to you or to anyone else, more because I want rid of the marks and that is all there is to it.

Perhaps now you can see how hurtful it is to take be attacked without cause. If tca does not completely remove my marks I will be attacked yet again, I am finding the whole thing pathetic and extremely insulting. This board is also being ruined by the petty attacking, ganging up and other childish behaviour that is being displayed and I just wish it would stop once and for all and we could all get on with trying different methods to remove marks and comparing notes on them.

Since I have too many marks to consider laser as a viable option acid peels are my only avenue. I suppose I am lucky that my skin likes them and responds well to them, but I am well aware it is not some miracle cure and that it takes time.

I have seen this kind of behaviour on this board before, Kojiro had the same treatment and more or less stopped posting because of the attacks. Its ruining the board and it needs to stop.

I wasn't hurt. I EXPECT people to be dubious of my actions. And if my methods yield results, I expect that people will be suspicious. It's only fair after everything that people have gone through trying to remove stretch marks.

People are welcome to criticize my methods anytime they like, I am just trying something new, I wont be hurt, its par for the course.

I do admit, however to being slightly offended to your attacking me after I was trying to defend you, lol.

At least on my part, I was NOT trying to hurt your feelings with my prior comments, my intention was ONLY to warn people not to get too excited about something. Thats happened before, to me and to other people, often at the loss of a lot of money. I really hope you are not lumping me together with mr.crazy. If we didn't have people voicing their dissent then this board would be a repeat of a bunch of fads. Someone would post, oh laser works, and off everybody would go.. Just like one person posted about success with Active FX and off 3 people went and tried it (with apparently unsatisfactory improvement). I was intending to offer caution. As in, lets everybody calm down and not jump on this bandwagon at one time. lets just employ a little caution and WAIT. though I am just as impatient for something to work as everyone else.

you are taking my comments much too personally. I didnt mean you any harm, I PROMISE. Maybe mr.crazy does, but I don't. I was just trying to save people the same heartache I have experienced before.

[Guest]

As I have already said, my only reason for commenting on your method is to show you what it feels like. Otherwise I would not have bothered commenting at all. And whilst you can say you are defending me, I would question that you, Mr crazy and the patronising smiley face one always turn up as a threesome.

Everything costs money. Cp's, laser, tca, ga, rollers etc etc You cannot get rid of stretch marks without spending money on something to do it.

I hardly think tca or any peels break the bank and they are certainly much cheaper than laser as a removal method. I also believe the whole purpose of the board is for people to try things, otherwise why are we all here. If 10 people jump on a bandwagon, and two get success from it, then its a good thing not a bad thing. If people don't say what the results of things are no one would know what to try and whilst there are no guarantees its better than coming on here to say we feel suicidal or whatever and just moaning about our marks.

I don't believe you have had comments yet..but stick around long enough on here and you are sure to experience it. I think you will feel differently when you are being attacked on a regular basis.

Ok enough now, I am not wasting all day dealing with yet another argument on here. I will continue with my peels, you continue with your cp's and lets hope we get a solution.

i cant believe some people on this bored.

i had planned to write a long post basically saying how wrong these insulting people were, but then i realised there would be absolutely no point.

if anyone is stupid enough to make another post like that of the previous page and the one at the top of this page, i think its best that we all just completely ignore it and not even mention it.

and just for the record tca has worked on many people, even on this bored if you would care to search it, see brigetta for example. if you dont believe ANYONE on this bored, google it, look at other bords, or STFU!

i too share your frustration J and i fully appreciate every single one of your posts. there are a million and one different variables and reasons why one thing might work on one person and not another. for me tca is the only viable option aswell and the amount of evidence i have seen, be it in picture form or from forums, tells me that tca does work for some people

thanks

[Guest]

Mai,
I know TCA didn't work for you so I was wondering if you'd share how long ago you used it and how many times. I know you've posted this information before but I want as much information from those who have tried TCA before I make a decision to use it or not. Also would you mind describing your marks, how old they are and your skin type.

I appreciate your input! Hope it's not to personal.

oh no no,
I havnt tried TCA! Thats why I am hoping it will work for J, if it does, I will try it too. There have been many other people here who won't leave their name who supposedly have tried it though. I was not critical of J because I have tried it, I understand not all methods work for everyone. If it works, even just improvement for J or i think there is another poster who use it, then I will try it.
The only person who left their name who has tried it is RK. She occassionally comes back.
I am waiting for pictures though because everyone who has said its worked has never posted pictures and there seem to be so many more people who havn't had any results whatsoever. Also I have asked many a dermatologist about it and they insist it doesnt work. I dont neccessarily believe them though, most of them prescribe retin a, which studies show usually, at the most a 20% improvement.
Things I have tried.
Glycolic acid/lactic acid. Both up to 85%. I tried them where they would leave scabs and then did the whole copper peptides thing. Didnt help but boy did it hurt!.
IPL
carboxy
and of course a bunch of creams but those arent even worth mentioning.

Now I am injecting things (under medical supervision of course).

If J and the other person report good results I will have a go at TCA beginning in December. But I am waiting because its over 100$ for a large bottle and apparently a bottle doesnt last that long, especially if your marks cover the large percentage of the body like mine do.

If you do decide to try TCA then I hope you see improvement and let us know. When I try it I will do the same.

btw I meant to reply to your comment about stem cells. Apparently they use stem cells in Russia for stretch marks, its all very dodgy of course but if it works I hope other countries get the same idea.

[Mai]

oh, I forgot, I've also had needling done professionally.
With the big old needles under anesthetic. However I didnt have mine done coupled with any creams which apparently is the important part.

[Guest]

Mai, is ur SMS white/silvery? And wat kind of complexion do you have? Where do you have them??

Well I've done a TCA peel about 4 times on my arms, the marks start on my biceps, and then go slightly onto my chest. The First one - I did with 100% TCA peel. Doing that is a big mistake, your skin goes very brown! I then tried watering it down, and it didn't work. I then bought some 25% TCA and did a light peel to test it, and it peeled well, and took most of the brown from the first peel away.

Ok so this last peel I did, I really went for it. 25% peel, but I didn't wash it off atall, and applied a few layers, the pain was bad, for about 10 minutes. My skin went VERY red and stayed red. It's like it destoyed the first layer of skin! It went very brown and thick crusty and you could still see the red underneath.

So I'm half way through this peel, and not only has doing it this way made the peel quicker, it also seemed to virtually removed the smaller stretch marks, and improved and larger ones lots. The skin is still slightly red but that doesn't bother me. I'm sure smaller peels will rid that .

I'm seeing some success people! Maybe I should take before and after photos for my next one.

If you could take before and after pics that would be great. Maybe post them once you are happy with the results? Something I have noticed is that if you stop the skin from peeling for as long as possible (by keeping it very moist) it gives you better results. Also noticed taking a longer break between peels also does give the best results. You can use emu oil or olive oil as a cheaper alternative for the keeping moist bit.

Also, take vits if you can, vit c, b and maybe k, and zinc.

100%?!?!?!?!

Right....

How on earth are you not burned?

[Guest]

I never noticed he had done 100%. Definitely not recommended. Sticking to lower percentages is best to be on the safe side.
