stretch marks

I know Im stuck with these scars for the rest of my life for the way I treated my body but has anyone found anything to use on them that has helped to deminish them at all? I mean really Im learning how to deal with the batwings but my arms are looking like deflated balloons...its quit depressing

Creams help a bit with the appearance of stretch marks but I found it wasn't realy worth it because they are very expensive and you can't ever stop using them or the skin goes back.

I found compression garmets like Slimpressions work the best at keeping it all in so I don't have to think about it.
