Ok, so I know there is no permanent way to remove stretch marks unless surgery is involved. But I have some I would like to make less noticable. Does anyone have any information on what they have done to improve the appearence of them?

Thanks!

    I know as you lose weight some of them will fade. Make sure you keep well hydrated and your skin 'lotioned up' too. That will help.

    Bio-oil is the best. My Aunty use to be really over weigh, when she lost her weight she obviously had alot of visible strech marks. She used bio-oil and now it looks lyk they're completely gone. They've faded away very well.

    Give it a try, and keep us updated :-)
    Hope that helped.

    It's weird, I remember when I was a kid and got fat the stretch marks would be bright red/purple and wouldn't go for YEARS until I started to loose weight.

    When I gained again said stretch marks would appear again, and a few new ones, but disappeared/faded within days even as I gained weight. Now you can't even see (well barely see) any of the 10 - 15 marks I have at all! I wan't an explanation please.

    Also Bio Oil, used it once, it works wonders!

    I rubbed cocoa butter, a vitamin E tablet, Olive oil, and Utter Balm (weird I know). Not all at once, but I did this on a really bad scar and it also reduced the visibility.

    You can buy bio oil anywhere. Walmart, target. Its great for all types of scaring, hair nails. You name it. It is a product of many uses.
