Question:

OK, so how do you get rid of stretch marks?

No I did not have a baby, it's just that I used to be fat and I'm not anymore, but now I have stretch marks on the inside of my legs where my fat used to be. How do I get rid of them?


Answers:

Stretch marks are scars. Plain and simple. They will not totally go away, cocoa butter helps the elasticity in the skin, and vitamin E also, Though cocoa butter is an effective moisturizer, no research studies have shown its ability to either prevent stretchmarks, or improve their appearance once a stretchmark has already formed. Various treatments are available for the purpose of improving the appearance of existing stretch marks, including laser treatments, dermabrasion, and presciption retinoids. Few published studies exist for over-the-counter remedies, but two ingredients have shown early promise in clinical research-- darutoside and registril [Sederma Labs[1]]. Used daily for one month, they resulted in significant improvement in the appearance of a stretchmark's length, depth, and irregular surface area. Some cream manufacturers claim the best results are achieved on recent stretch marks; however, few studies exist to support these claims.
