Hi girlies!
I am begining to lose the weight, but have horrible stretchmakrs on my belly from the time I got really big in a very short time. They are still red even though I got them like 2-3 years ago. What do you recommend for stretchmarks? Has anyone tried the laser treatment?

If you just wanna fade the red, it will fade with time/weight loss so I wouldn't worry too much. Any skin treatment beyond that you'll probably want to do after you lose all the weight anyway. If you were still stretching then there's stretch mark treatment you can do to prevent them, vitamins and such, but after they're there.... they're pretty much there I think. I've got lots, so I know how you feel, they suck!

Palmers Cocoa butter worked best for me.. the regular. I tried a lot of the stretch mark creams and really just keeping the skin moisturized and letting time pass will help. My scars have all faded to white in the 3 years since I had surgery.

I know im not much of a help but....i read a post awhile back about this lady who has her own secret remedy....it was a you tube video and she was using olive oil and african shea butter...the original kine...and she doesnt have no stretch marks now...and below people write comments about the video and had nothing bad to say..in fact they all had positive results...so i believe that is extremely worth looking into ....now i only i can get that you tube link again....Jessica... (( i will search for it))

I agree with the above post. I originally posted it on here because I really have seen results in 2 weeks. It was posted on You Tube by Tonya TKO. It doesnt smell really good at all but your skin feels amazing. Better than any store bought cream and I am a product junkie. Everyone should really try it. I got the orignal yellow shea butter on amazonf for around 5 dollars plus whatever it costs for extra virgin olive oil. I am totally in love! I've also noticed a difference in the fine lines I have on my hands...Just thought I would reiterate (spell)!
