This might be a long shot, but is there any procedure I can get that will take away the stretch marks I have from pregnancy? If not, is there any good cream or anything like that I can get to lighten them? I want something that really works. :)

Thank you.

Way back when, I used vitamin e to mine, but I used the very condensed form. It worked for me. I massaged it in every night. Using creams at night tends to work better.

Creams or lotions will not get rid of your stretch marks, but they can soften them. Products with vitamin A C & E, cocoa butter, and lanolin will help improve the appearance of stretch marks, however, they will not remove stretch marks. The most clinical way to treat stretch marks is by surgery, such as laser surgery or microdermabrasion.

Tell lots of different lotions and creams and see which one wrks for you... and just using daily mosturising creams that will help smooth them out

If they are "white" you can't do anything about them. But if they are still redish you can use petroleum Jelly on it daily and they will fade. Hope I could help!

Mederma scar cream helps soften and smooth the stretch marks. It won't make them go away but it has lighten mine up enough that I don't knottiest them much. I didn't start using the cream till about 17 years after I had my son. If your stretch makes are somewhat new it may work better on yours. I also didn't use it as often or as long as I was suppose to so that might make a difference too.
