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.

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.

Does prefer-on work on stretch marks?
I didn't really notice a difference on my stretch marks, however, I did notice a slight improvement on my 2 year old son's scar. He got stitches on his face and I immediately used it and it did seem to almost disappear. Whether or not it was the Prefer-on or just young healthy skin that healed well is unknown.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no way to get rid of pregnancy-induced stretch marks. you can try out creams and oils that will enhance the look of the skin around the marks, so that they are less visible.

Check the ingredients and products out for yourself. Even do research on ingredients like Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, Jojoba oil, and stretch mark reducing essential oils.As with all things, the best products are often the hardest to find, Hopefully, I saved you from wasting a lot of time and money on those nasty stretch marks products.

Do not forget to maintain a healthy diet and drink plenty of water.== == * You can lessen the appearance of stretch marks by staying hydrated and with the use of a good cream like Palmer's cocoa butter formula, or any other that is for stretch marks, a very good thing is to use Vaseline as well. * use Palmers cocoa butter everyday it might take time but they will disappear in a few months. and it also depends on the severity of the stretch marks then you might want to ask your doctor about some type of medicated lotion for the stretch marks. * You can remove stretch marks at home by purchasing cocoa butter creams or cocoa butter formulas from a pharmacy near you. == == * I believe the only way to get rid of stretch marks is surgery. Talk to a doctor and possibly a dermatologist. * I used 'Stretta' from Zenmed when I had stretch marks across my belly post pregnancy and it worked great to get rid of them in a months time and left my skin well toned as normal as it was before pregnancy. So, this is something you can use for not hiding but removing stretch marks completely. * Olive oil and Vitamin E oil, put on after you shower before your skin dries.
