Once you get them they are with you forever.

This is pretty much truth. You can tan lightly to mask them and help them fade with some vitamin E and some tea tree oil. But they will never go away.

The key is prevention.

Vitamin E

I use both the Jamieson ProVitamina e 100% Pure oil (28,000 iu) and Jamieson ProVitamina e Nourishing cream (30,000 iu).

Both work great! :thumbsup:

Is this to hide them or are we talking prevention?

These are located on my shoulders just over the armpits ad they are really noticeable since I've been out in the sun and my tan getting darker. Do you use this on a daily basis to simply mask them and you have to do this every day? :dunno:

It just fades them and makes them a lot less noticeable. Like others have said, once you have them they're there forever. I did this on a daily basis every day before I go to bed for about 2 weeks.

I have a lot of stretch marks...near the chest where it expanded...shoulders...inside of my elbow areas on the biceps. With time they do fade a lot. I don't mind them to be honest...kinda looks hardcore and shows the effort I've put in the gym over the years. Haha

shoppers drug mart, superstore, etc etc.
Ive used it for stretch marks i got when i gained a bunch of weight then lost it again and a nasty scar from hackin my lip in half.
just apply it lightly like lotion. takes a couple months, will never fully get rid of them but they sure look alot better

Why remove them?

Just start dating chicks with kids and yours will look less prominent.

This is untrue. My buddy had some serious stretch marks that he was very self conscious of and he got them lazered, are they perfect? No, but they are almost invisible. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the procedure. I am sure a google search will turn up some information.

Yea I don't know if they'll fully ever disappear. I have some on my chest and bicep but they've faded a bit and aren't all that noticeable unless you're looking for them. My skins abit darker though, so that might help also.

If they are fine and not deep you may be able to improve them, if they are deep, wide or you can feel them on your skin(literally like a scar) not much will help.

They do start off darker colored and should fade to a pearly skin color with time.

Bio oil is really good for this, I had some pretty nasty ones after having 2 kids. Even though they were years old it really helped. I tried Scar therapy gel but bio oil works better they sell it at walmart, shoppers, london drugs even Costco has it.

If you want to the Scar gels they are located in the first aid section of most of these places.

Try body butters..
Korean creams are great..I tried one that was a gift from my aunt when she went in Korea.

You could also get laser treatments or dermabrasion, I guess

Ive had mine forever and as a lot of people have said the only thing you can really do is try to prevent them before you have them if you have them the only real way of getting rid of them is to laser them off...

Grow a moustache.

But seriously, scar gel doesn't work. Don't bother.

I used to use Cocoa Butter but didn't see much of a difference. I did smell like brownies though, which is nice.
