Stretch Marks!!

[Nix08]

Hi all, I have been reading this post for a long time trying to get ideas. I have not had enough sucess with anything to be able to post about it (Carboxy therapy, dermaroller, glycolic acid and copper peptide) anyway I have a holiday abroad coming up in 6 months and want to try and make an improvemnt on my stretch marks so am thinking of trying the dermaroller again properly as I didn't really stick to it regularly beofore. So my question to you all is does anyone know if you can use numbing freeze spray, for when you have an injury, to numb the area first as I get fed up with ice packs and the numbing cream was even more time consuming! Would welcome any advice thanks.

The best way to remove stretch marks is to get some natural and ayurvedic treatments. Also, by visiting a good doctor you can get stretch marks removed.

So I have tried something new with my dermaroller and I had pretty good results, thought Id share. Ive done this once so far, mid November, and am going to again once my emu oil arrives in the mail. Am quite pleased with the results, especially for only one treatment so far. This is best for ppl who can tolerate a bit of pain.. or if one day you get really mad at your stretch marks and just wanna beat them up lol.

I rub a bit of emu oil all over my stretch marks and take sea salts and really exfoliate. Til its very red. Then I rub off any sea salts and use my 2.5mm roller and do that aggressively also. Afterwards I apply more emu oil and rub it in for a good 20-30 mins. Kept using emu oil and cocoa butter daily (wasnt sure if the cocoa butter would irritate it, so I waited a couple days forthat) Exfoliated weekly afterwards, not as rough,with more emu oil following and a break from the cocoa butter. And I have yet to do another treatment... but Id suggest waiting a month- month and a half.

If anyone else tries it, Id like to hear how it works foryou

Has anyone seen Jennifer Hudson lately? Her stretch marks appear to be gone. She had very noticeable ones all down her arms from weight loss. I wonder how she got rid of them??

I am twenty and a newlywed. In July I had a miscarriage at about 8 weeks, which isn't very far a long, I only just found out. But since then, I have gained a lot of weight (a pant size and a half up) and have terrible stretch marks on my thighs, hips, and butt. I am already depressed over losing a baby, and my stretch marks don't help my self esteem. I've been using vitamn E cream and just started using shea butter a few days ago, but they seem bright and red as ever, they aren't growing any dimmer. What can I do or use to minimize or get rid of them??

I improved my 10 y.old stretch marks by single needling and using a 2 mm one-liner roller on my butt (I cannot reach my butt with the needle). I have heard that Tretinoin cream helps with new stretch marks.

so is the only option surgery to get rid of stretch marks????

Has anyone had their surgery yet?

Hi Amanda

could you link any recent pictures of jennifer hudsons arms , i seen the old pics with the SM

[PerfectSkin]

sadly, with Jennifer Hudson, I think it may just be airbrushing.

[bc8]

I believe Jennifer Hudson's stretch marks are just not as visible since she's lost the weight... I am guessing because the skin isn't stretched anymore so the stretch marks appear less 'wide'.

It's hard to find recent photos of her with bare arms and up close or that haven't been airbrushed, but I managed to find a few where you can just see her stretch marks (may have to zoom)







You can even see some on her breasts here


I love how she has the confidence not to worry about them! Wish I could feel the same about mine and therefore not worry about wearing short sleeves, I'm getting there, very slowly though.

Please answer to me. thank you very much... lucy

Hi,
Can somebody please tell me the link to J's ebook, or what I have to google in order to find it?
I am very interested to have a read of what it says.
I would be very grateful for the info.
Thanks

For me, I used Palmers cocoa butter. My friends recommended this and it really lighten my stretchmarks. And of course, don't forget to take Vit. E. It helps your skin restore naturally.

so has everyone given up? anyone get surgery to have them removed/cut out?
