Captiva is new stretch mark cream in the market

But within 15 days of use users could experience improvement in their stretch marks

( From eBay and forum posts)

Captiva contains a proprietary blend of peptides, compounds that enhance the skin's ability to "fill in" damaged areas by stimulating cell production.

Stretch marks occur due to tearing of the middle layer of the skin called dermis layer due to rapid stretching of the skin during rapid weight gain, pregnancy, puberty

Captiva formula changes the composition of skin deep in the dermal level… where new skin cells are made. The peptides in the cream encourage cell production to heal the stretch marks.

These new cells heal stretch marks and slowly they start disappearing. Within 2 weeks of use results would be visible.

But if stretch marks are very old say 10 years, they will not disappear completely, but they will start fading away in 20 days. In this case you will have to use captiva for 3-5 months.

Does trilastin work for stretch marks?

Trilastin is a stretch mark cream that has been getting lots of reviews lately from its effectiveness in treating stretch marks. The ingredients used to make Trilastin is very different from other stretch mark creams in the market. Atelocollagen, hydrolyzed collagen, and hydrolyzed elastinare the key ingredients that help to reduce appearance of stretch marks. The company manufacturing Trilasting offers a 30-day money back guarantee for using it if you don't see any results within 30 days. Use of "Filling Spheres Technology" and Virtual patch further improve the appearance of stretch marks. It is safe for use in pregnant mums as well. So does it work? Yes it does but it does not completely remove it. But definitely, makes it less visible, in fact much more than any other stretch mark cream on the market. I hope this answers your question.

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.


Will a stretch mark treatment work for old marks?

A new stretch mark treatment may be able to work on old marks. It depens how well the treatment works or how in depth it is. If it is a trick to cover them up it shold work. There are several options on the market that can help reduce stretch marks. Nothing has been proven to completely get rid of them.


Is there a good way to make stretch marks disappear?

Stubborn marks left behind by acne breakouts can be challenging to address. Talking about eraser anti marks creams, they are formulated with a blend of active ingredients that are believed to help reduce the appearance of acne scars. They work just like anti stretch mark creams. The creams claim to work on both atrophic and hypertrophic scars, making them suitable for various scar types. People prefer such creams due to their effective ingredients. Most of the anti marks creams contain ingredients like Hesperidin, Licorice Extract, Wheat Germ Oil, and Vitamin E that are known to deal with acne marks effectively. Although I haven't used any such cream yet, I have heard from others that they do work. However, if you are thinking of trying one, do not blindly pick any cream. Read about its ingredients thoroughly and through the reviews and testimonials provided by the individuals who have used them because if you choose a cream that contains harsh chemicals, it may end up worsening the situation rather than dealing with it. Merely taking these simple precautions before using any cosmetic product especially an anti stretch mark cream can do wonders for you. Good luck!


Does rejene stretch mark cream works?

I want to know the same thing. I must say I used the product from vichy and it doesn't work. Does rejen work? Vichy doesn't work. Celltone works for stretch marks but it's pretty expensive. I started using rejene today, so I'll get back at you in a few days..


How long does it take for stretch marks to fade?

I think it depends on your skin type. Mine fade quite quickly, but my friends took years to go all silvery. I have recently discovered Bio Oil, which is brilliant. I was quite dubious about trying quick-fixes, but this really does work for me. Good luck.


What is a good over the counter stretch mark treatment?

Bio oil is very popular and also Coco Butter. Many people recommend Vitamin E cream or oil. Chemist own brands are often cheaper than the top brands and work just as well.
