Stretch Mark Removal

Stretch marks usually tend to occur when there has been severe weight loss or pregnancy. There are many treatments and creams out there that promise stretch mark removal an instant cure or something similar over a week.

Do not buy anything until you firstly know the stage of the stretch marks and until you have seen a qualified dermatologist. I have provided a summary of what can be done for stretch mark removal dependant on the colour / stage of the stretch mark.

Stages and possible cures:
1.    White coloured stretch marks: This is a mature stretch mark and is much more difficult to remove as they have been left to scar and age.
Solutions: Dermatologist for consultation; laser treatment (expensive and requires regular treatment)

2.    Red / purple Stretch Mark: Luckily these stretch marks are easier to treat as they are not as mature and aged.
Solutions: Dermatologist for consultation; a high quality retinoid cream can help (but consult Dermatologist before use to understand your stretch mark and any potential side effects) and significant number of people swear that regular use of coconut oil reduces appearance of the marks.

Try to treat your stretch marks as early on as possible (before they age) and visit a dermatologist before applying any strong creams to your skin.

Laser treatments are said to help significantly but can be very expensive and for stretch mark removal will need a number of treatments.
