Stretch Marks ??

I was hoping you girls will give it to me straight and be honest.  I gained all this weight about 5 yrs ago and very rapidly, at that time I had terrible stretch marks, over time though theyve calmed down and been less noticable. HOWEVER, now that Im losing weight they are super noticable again, not red, but almost stark white and very defined. Has anyone had success with Mederma or Bio-Oil or something similar, or is it impossible to make them look better?

Re: Stretch Marks ??

  • I have tons of stretch marks on my stomach from pregnancy. I have used bio-oil religiously over the last 6 months or so. I have lost 55lbs but there is zero improvement in my stretch marks.

  • Mederma is great, but it can take at least 6 months of use to start working.
  • I got stretch marks on my legs back in high school when I had a major weight gain and I can still see some of them.  Probably got some more after huge weight gain in college and even more from my first pregnancy (none from my second, I guess everything was well stretched out LOL).

    The ones on my legs are barely noticeable any more.  The ones from my pregnancy are white "grooves" at this point, but you can really only see them from certain angles in certain light.

    It's a process, but they do face a lot.
