Does anyone know how to get rid of old stretch marks? I have some from over 10 years ago and would really like them gone. that way when I reach my goal weight I can get my belly pierced and feel good showing it off! :)

    Vitamin E oil helps. I don't think anything works 100%, though.

    Unless you get them removed with laser treatment they arent going to go away 100%. You can use lotions and oils and things to help reduce the appearance but they arent going to disapear completely...

    I asked my dermatologist this question a few months ago and she said that laser treatments help "fade" stretch marks, but that they never completely go away. I guess we have to wear them like a badge of courage. I never had kids, but I have mine.... and I guess it is a scar from my weight loss battles!

    Nope sorry I have all mine from when I hit puberty and got hips. That was 21 years ago and 5 kids. Unless you get a tummy tuck I don't think you can ever get rid of them. Sorry. Even using lotions sometimes won't help. :-(
