Yes they can. Mederma, which was a Rx drug a few years ago, is now available in the pharmacy without a prescription. It works really well for all kinds of scars. Hope this helps! Mederma, though does not suit for everyone. There are cases where the user has experienced skin irritation and uncontrolled use can also worsen the texture of the skin. It's best recommended for serious scars only. Please don't apply on small acne scars, as it may worsen the nearby skin.

Can stretch marks be removed by laser surgery or by using special creams?

== == * Laser surgery works best on stretch marks that are new and still red or purple. Laser surgery for stretch marks is very expensive - you need multiple treatments at $400 - $1,500 per treatment. Stretch mark cream, on the other hand, has been clinically proven to work and is much cheaper! Can stretch marks be removed without surgery? No. There are many over the counter creams available for the reduction of the appearance of stretch marks. These creams reduce the swelling of new marks and the redness of new and old ones. Surgery is available, and very pricey, and probably not worth the cost since I don't think insurance would cover it. Talk to a Pharmacist for a good over the counter cream. This should work in time. If you don't see the results that you are looking for, don't worry, they WILL reduce on their own. Eventually they will turn skin color and skin texture, and they can be tanned too. * Sorry to say this but they can't be tanned. They will always be a different colour from the rest of your skin. Try massaging in circular motions with lotion that has vitamin E in it. At least once a day or every 2 days and see what happens ... ;-) * While stretch mark creams might not be that effective on their own, I've heard that using these creams in combination with microdermabrasion treatment can help. See, there are two types of stretch mark creams; one type has collagen in it which your body needs to fix the stretch marks. The other type of cream has collagen inducing ingredients which cause your body to produce it's own collagen. The problem with both of these creams however, is that in order for the collagen to be effective it has to get to the deeper layers of skin. Rubbing a cream on the surface of the skin doesn't do this. So, if you do microdermabrsion on your stretch marks first, that takes off the top layer of your skin. Then if you apply the stretch mark cream after, the ingredients have a better chance of getting to the deeper layers of skin where they can be effective. * Revitagen stretch mark cream uses peptides to to penetrate the skin and heal the collagen matrix. Revitagen also has Siegesbeckia orientalis, which has been used for centuries to heal wounds. (Stretch marks are tears in the collagen matrix.) Using coco butter for pregnancy takes aways your stretch marks but you have to use it every day. Stretch marks can be removed by laser surgery as well as with by using special creams, it all depends how much you want to spend. Laser surgery is a costly treatment and it may also include some side effects with it but special creams like Skin Doctors Stretch Away Stretch Mark Cream can help you to remove stretch mark without any side effect and with in economical budget too. Skin Doctors Stretch Away Stretch Mark Cream is a unique combination containing naturally based ingredients, that helps to visibly reduce the appearance of stretch marks, and to prevent new ones appearing.
