Hi, my names Becky, im 18 and ive had stretchmarks since I hit puberty. I have them all over my thighs and hips which never bothered me that much until they started going down the back and top of my legs. I know you can never get rid of them but I was wondering if there were any creams to stop more appearing? It's hard to not be able to wear a skirt in the summer and I'm sick of wearing trousers all the time.

Thanks, Becky

HI all I have done hours and hour of research getting rid of stretch marks.
basically most creams like the strie vecton product containing collogen cannot penetrate the skin and others are a total scam.
they cannot regenerate new skin growth, or repair, other than vitamin e, a and vitamin c, will help just a little. Copper peptides aid in reconstucting the dermal layers of the skin along with Acids such as glycolic, tca , jessner, mandelic, are able to abrade the skin like a micrdermabrasion or laser peel.
New skin and collegen and fibrablasts regenerate causing the scar or stretch mark to become smoother with better organized skin cells and less noticable. This will take time many months to over a year. Here is one incredible website dedicated to skin care. Go to www.skinbio.com
I aslo have stretch marks from pregnancy on my but thighs between thighs breasts and tummy, I have been exfoilating for months now with a 30 % glycolic acid followed with copper peptides and vit e and emu oil . I have noticed marked inprovement over 5 months and my stetch marks have become less noticable. I will keep doing this till they are gone!

I'm using Stretch Away by Skin Doctors -- only about a week in now and no major results yet, although the skin does seem smoother in general. I've been using a very vigorous massage to rub it in to the affected area as I'm told (by doctors) that improving circulation in a crucial part in promoting skin regeneration and thus improvement of the marks!

I've heard dermabrasion works wonders on improving marks old and new. I was wondering whether the L'Oreal Dermabrasion kit you can find in the shops is any good for this purpose -- it's a little pricey so I'd like to know if it's worth the investment! xox

How is the stretchaway working for you?Noticing any improvements yet?
Cheers!

Hey, I've been here before, but I was just wondering if anyone has had any good results with just emu oil without combining it with other things. What I've read about it looks encouraging, but I don't really know. I have stretch marks basically everywhere (I've actually posted here before) but the ones on my arms bother me the most. They seem to spread for no reason that I can tell. And I never seem to have time to keep them well moisturized. Do you think it really would make a significant difference if I put cocoa butter on all the time?? I'm pale skinned and I've read a lot of things that say the paler you are, the better for stretch marks, but it doesn't seem that much better to me. I'm still too embarrassed to really wear T-shirts or anything... It's been really warm here lately, and I feel like it's such a shame that I have to always hide my arms and such. I have them all along my upper arms and even a few tiny ones right under the elbow crease on my forearm. I'm just really worried about them spreading more!! Someone please get back to me! It would be much appreciated! Sorry if I'm rambling on too much. Also, has anyone ever tried Stretch Renew by Bodies by Design?? It has a lot of good testimonies, but maybe it's too good to be true. It's $54 a bottle. Quite expensive...

I'll talk to you guys later!

Hello everyone. I had no idea so many other people suffer from stretch marks, especially people my age! I'm 22. I've had these damn marks since I was about 12 when I went through a big growth spurt. I also suffer from clinical depression and used food to comfort me at times throughout the years which caused me to gain weight rapidly. I have never been really fat though yet people twice as big as me don't have these horrible marks I have. They're all over my boobs, hips, thighs and butt! I don't wear low cut tops. When wearing low rise jeans, I have to make sure my tops cover my whole stomach because I have a few stretch marks on the sides of my stomach. I don't wear short shorts or mini skirts. When I go to the beach, I'm the most covered up person there. Throughout the years the marks have bothered me but I made no effort to get rid of them because I was told they're permanent. I've been doing research to see if I could at least reduce them to where they aren't as noticeable. I'm thinking of trying the Jean Wu method. Even though it seems time consuming, it seems lots of people have had success with it, if you stick with it. I'm just sick of always covering up my body and not letting my boyfriend see me naked in the light.

Sorry for the long rant but when I talk to other people about it they really don't listen or understand because they don't have this problem. I can totally relate to the people here who say this has taken a toll on them emotionally and socially.

Can someone post who is actually not DEVASTATED by these marks? I have a few on my inner right thigh, they are consuming me, even though they aren't that visible. I guess it's because I actually liked my legs, i gained a little bit of weight, but I would never consider them fat, at most average. Anyways, I am trying to convince myself they aren't that big of a deal, and I wish I could stop amplifying in my mind what they mean. I guess they have made me more aware of how I want to marry someone who likes ME, but no one is going to do that when I hate myelf because of this.

Anyways, I am disappointed that the Coolbeam doesn't work, it seemed like the best hope.

not being funny but if all you have is a couple of stretchmarks on your thighs then honey you should be greatful. you're over reacting. I have a few stretchmarks on my thighs and they don't bother me at all hardly. I think those kinds are the kind that just re affirm you are now a woman and not a girl. If i just had them there i wouldnt care but i have them everywhere so please dont over react you have know reason to be devestated. You havent seen devestation till you've checked out my body and im only 20.

Yes, I know I need to calm down. I think my over-reacting is due to a combination of life changing events that are going on with me now. Maybe I will try to marry a physicist who will invent a laser that works

Maybe u should sort out your life changing events, then maybe your stretch marks wont be a big issue for u

[Guest]

yeah, that's what I am trying to do. Mind you, I will always be hoping for a solution. I think I am just using them as a scapegoat at the moment.
