Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to get rid of stretch marks? Is there a laser treatment or cream that I can use?

Bio Oil is the best thing for stretch marks.

Where do I get that? I really have bad stretch marks all over my stomach, thighs, chest, etc... I've tried different stuff and nothing seem to work, coco butter, mederma, stri-vec, etc...

I think it is just becoming available in the US (I am in the UK) You can get it by mail order from places like eBay.

It is an oil that works wonders on scars and stretchmarks, no matter how old they are. I swear by it!

Thank you, I will try this. I've had my stretch marks for over 10 years due to my pregnancy and I tried everything but nothing seem to work. I hope this will it's made me very depress and brought myself esteem down

I use bio oil nearly everyday for like 2 months now and its had no effect what so ever? Is there are techniques or anything I'm missing out on?

Shea butter is about the best you can use because it lightens the skin and marks gradually i.e. for dark skin but buttom line it works.

1. it will not happen overnite you need to use it consistently for 6mos and up
2. u need the unrefined ones that are sold in african markets it has no perfume and kind of smells but then again you choose btwn the smell or efficacy
3. u need to melt it by rubbing btwn your palms because real, good shea butter is kind of semi solid

Again don't by the processed ones with a lot of fragrance go to an african store and get some or a flea market wish you all the best
