Is the only effective way to get rid of stretch marks is by laser?

Laser is relatively new Tx for "cellulite". (the scientists are still trying to determine of this was a particular type of adipose tissue- the jury is still out on that one).

The sooner you get Tx for it, the better will be the result.

Before lasers, and even now, one of the better means of managing was with Palmer's Cocoa Butter cream for stretch marks.

From a "physical treatment" approach, the most helpful treatment would be a specialized type of massage called "skin rolling". The skin is taken up in a little roll in the therapist's fingers, and rolled- forward and back- sequentially- in he area being treated.

You might want to try the less invasive "massage and cocoa butter" work before rushing into laser ablation- or laser ANYthing- modalities. I would suggest seeing your ob-gyn for a quick look and their recommendation as to which Tx to follow.

If you ask me, stretch marks are a sign of weight gain, even if that weight gain is very small. The moment you loose the weight you gained, your skin should begin shrinking itself back and the stretch marks should dissappear slowly. There is no need to apply anything special except exercise.

Any one who has gained weight will have seen stretchers on their body. I certainly have them because of weight gain. Pregnant women have them because as the baby grows, their skin has to stretch to accommodate the babies size.

Their is nothing special about stretch marks. They are as normal as anything else that is normal.

You should never feel ashamed of having stretch marks either. I am not saying that you are afraid of them, but just incase you are, never be. That stuff dissappear on its own as long as you work on the root cause.

It doesn't get rid of them, it just makes them look lighter - particularly if they are red or dark. I had it done (I was in for laser hair removal and my lady just threw that in for free) and it made the dark red ones turn more skin colored. Yours probably wouldn't change very much though, that's about what mine look like now.

Not sure if the laser would help. If you have them might as well embrace them cuz most people don't see stretch marks as a flaw. I have a ton under my boobs from pregnancy and I'm thankful that no one can see them but even if they did it wouldn't bother me to much cuz it's just how my body is.

ALL women have stretch marks. Im 35... my 19yo size xs clothes girlfriend has stretch marks and complains about them. Every last girl has them! So seriously just stfu you're no different than any other girl and thats that. There is a medical reason why this is the case. Women have weak skin structures compared to men. Your fibers collapse easily and cause marks. Thats ALL women. So even just growing from a child to an adult will give every last one of you stretch marks. Which is not the case for men.

The ones shown in the picture are totally normal and not bad looking at all. The ones that aren't attractive are like huge thick red ones all over. So if thats not what you got, stop worrying about it.

If you ask me there’s multiple solutions to every problem It’s just a matter of knowing the right questions and finding the right people while also having the right tools.

That’s it I personally don’t think the stretch marks are that big of a deal but that war or whatever that is should be looked at.

For what it's worth, stretch marks don't turn me off at all, I just view them as natural tattoos that occur as a result of changes in body shape.

I've had them on my arms for a while and I think they actually look super sexy, if I do say so myself😊

Laser typically fixes things, but not always. I have thought about getting lasik for my eyes but i have an astigmatism that's so bad in one eye, that, they told me i wouldn't want to expect 20/20. they didn't say it wouldn't improve, they just said i shouldn't EXPECT 20/20

Embrace the stretch marks. Think of them like stripes on a tiger… I have them too but if a man thinks you’re beautiful, they won’t even notice. So should you ❤️

Anonymous · Answer

that mark on your asscheek should be looked at by a dermatologist to make sure it isn't cancerous

the stretch marks aren't your concern that round looking thing should be your bigger concern. have a biopsy done to make sure it isn't melanoma

TallAnon · Answer

I don't think you effectively can get rid of them. They do fade somewhat over time.
I have stretch marks all over my body due to my height, so I can emphasize, but it doesn't look too bad, some things you just need to live with.

KatherineJ · Answer

So say you pay to get them lightened. You are only going to get more. It’s part of being human, so like @pinay_ako said; embrace your stripes.

No. Laser doesn't work. Working out will help cause it tightens the skin
