Girls, how long does it take for stretch marks to fade? I'm using palmers coco butter swivel stick?
I got them on my arms for some reason and was super depressed about it. They've almost completely faded away after about three months, though. They're still there, of course, but only if you're looking for them.
The ones on my stomach and hips aren't so keen to fade. I've been putting essential oils mixed into Shea butter on them, and it helped for my arms tremendously. I keep forgetting to put it on my stomach. But I doubt it would have done much as they seem a lot more stubborn. Oops.
Good luck!

I have had them since I was about 12. ( my growth spurt). Lately, I have had some sucess with a derma roller. (20mm). My boyfriend even has stretch marks around his hips. So I will do a full treatment round on him first. I will let you know how I go.

They will never go away completely without laser cosmetic surgery and that type of stuff. Cocoa butter, bio-oil etc. will help them get lighter (white) and less noticeable, but you can't get rid of them completely without high dollar cosmetic procedures.
Honestly they aren't a big deal. 85% of women (and some men) have stretch marks, and I do as well. No guy has ever said a thing to me or probably has even noticed for that matter. -
They don't go away. They get lighter, but still visible. It took mine 1 year to fade with my daughter. My son? They are tiger stripes up my sides. They ain't goin a place. They are way... darker.

It takes a couple years for them to turn white. You can hardly see the ones on my chest and legs now, but the ones on my hips are still visible.

Sometimes they never go away, but I heard strivectin was really good at eliminating the majority of them :-)

They will fade a little but not totally after about 3 months. There is nothing that will remove or fix stretch marks.

They never go away. They'll only turn white later, but that's it. Nothing will really work.

Depends some fade like in 3-4 months others take a year, but some Marksil or Trilastin that should help

Use mustella it's much better and get rid of/lightens them a lot faster.

From my experience, only time has made them fade. A few years or so, just like any other scar really.
