Stretch marks

i didnt think i was going to get them because i am 38 weeks pregnant but i noticed some all the way under my belly today. I was very upset because i am only 18 and i still want to be able to wear a bikini and short shirts. My mom said there not too deep or red and they can possibly go away. I have been putting on cocoa butter. Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone had stretch marks that went away? Thanks guys!! love danielle xO

Hi

I had stretch marks on the back on my legs after losing a stone (wasnt happy about them either

I used bio oil on them and it did in fact help. They have faded slightly now, and it only cost about £8 i think for a bottle, so worth a try. It is an oil, but long as you dont use loads it wont leave you feeling greasy

Congrats for the baby

Stretch marks"

they won't go away but they will fade over time, i don't think anything really gets rid of them. to me all products do is fade them. A stretch mark is like getting a cut if you get cuts and they fade over time then i believe the stretch marks will do the same thing.

Rioblush, knightsbridge

Why dont you try the rio blush treatment for stretch marks?
I had it done at the knightsbridge laser clinic with a dr and it worked fantastically!

they said it doesnt matter how old they are or even if they are white.

Remove stretch marks the natural way

Good News!! I had body building stretch marks and my wife had pregnancy stretch marks. We used this product http://www.stretchmarktreatment.net and it worked. I have tried so many products and treatments but none really worked. Believe me, this is not marketing talk, I genuinely want to share this information with you guys. I won't make a cent out of this. They have very limited production and eventhough I cannot vouch whether it will work for every single person, it is definitely worth a try. Very reasonable pricing. Best thing, its 30 days money back guarantee!

Cure for stretch marks!


This is the only way I was able to cure my stretch marks. I bought a roller kit here at ebay and used STRIPEPTIN cream at the same time.

Here is some more info. Hope this helps.

subcision(needling) often helps on depressed and pitted scars

The needles injure the upper 1-2 mm of the dermis. This injury, minute as it might seem, does cause localized damage and bleeding. This will promote the normal post-traumatic infiltration of fibroblasts and the release of growth factors.
Ultimately, collagen is laid down in the papillary and upper reticular dermis.
This results in confluent collagen production stimulation and deposition, and as a result, may mimic the results obtained with laser, dermabrasion or deep chemical peels, but without destroying the epidermis.
Skin Needling also perforates and softens fibrous scar tissue, enabling the deposition of new collagen
The new collagen fills depressed scars from the bottom up, lifting the scars so that they are level with the surrounding skin. In some cases it is possible to repigment hypo-pigmented scars.

Subcision is a process created for atrophic scars, using fat and other substances to fill up the depression under the scar so that it becomes level. Subcision can also involve the separation of skin tissue from the scar tissue to allow blood to pool, eventually forming connective tissue and raising the scar up. Both these processes are always done by licensed professionals, and the patient may be under either local or general anesthesia, on an outpatient basis.

Subcision
Subcision is a common procedure to treat fibrotic scars. The base of the fibrotic scar (at the dermal layer) is normally anchored by fibrous bands. Subcision releases this fibrous band and reduces the depth of the fibrotic scar.


Effects of surgical scar revision include swelling and bruising, and patients may take up to a week or two to recover, depending on the procedure, size and depth of treatment, and on the patient themselves

Subcision: a surgical technique in which the fibrous band under the scar is divided, allowing the skin to return to its normal position
releases subcutaneous fibrotic strands that tether the overlying tissue
Medical needling is a physician-performed medical procedure that has created great interest in the cosmetic community because of its efficacy, minimal downtime, ease of use, costs and patient satisfaction. It has been used successfully to treat fine lines wrinkles, lax and photo-damaged skin; to reduce the appearance of stretch marks; and to improve acne, post burn and ice pick scars. It has also been used after liposuction to tighten skin.




VITAMIN C SUPPLEMENT (1000 mg Daily internally) :

Increases collagen but not other necessary skin proteins
A good anti-oxidant, natural skin component


EXFOLIATING 2 Weeks After Needling Session:

Helps removes older skin and allow new skin to rise to surface

The medical needling instrument, a sterile roller with needles all around, is rolled across the skin, which causes thousands of micro wounds. These minute injuries to the dermis result in the start of the wound-healing cascade. The punctures begin the wound-healing cascade, which causes the body to produce its own collagen

It is the bodys own collagen production that results in tightened skins less fine lines and wrinkles and a softening and reduction in scarring.
five days alter the injury to the dermis, a fibronectin matrix is laid down along with collagen. This collagen is deposited in the upper dermis just below the epidermis basal layer.


WHAT COPPER PEPTIDES DO IN COMBINATION WITH NEEDLING:

Helps synthesis of new collagen, elastin, and water holding proteins
Rebuilds microcirculation
Antiinflammatory - Blocks Interleukin-1 and TGF-beta-1 and detoxifies free radicals




these vitamins improve the overall skin function and result in thicker, smoother skin. Cellular structures improve the overall skin function and result in thicker, smoother skin. Cellular structures become better organi2.ecL are more effectively bound together and more evenly distributed, which results in dramatically strengthened glycosaminoglycans and intercellular lipids. Fibroblast functionality improves along with increased collagen and elastin. Simply put, use of these vitamins, polypeptides and growth factors, pre- and post-procedure, yield improved and longer-lasting results
skin becomes thicker with more than a 400-percent increase in collagen deposition


AFTER NEEDLING:

One cannot stress how important it is that patients know how to take care of their skin in the first 72 hours post needling.
the surface of the skin feels dry and can even feel rough for the first few days
keep the skin hydrated
gently wash with a cleanser containing tea tree oil
application of appropriate creams and enriched vitamin A C and E oils arc vital

Strech marks

Have you tried vitamin E oils on your stomach? Im sure they will help

When do i start?

Hi everyone,

When is the best time to start using all these anti-stretch mark creams and oils?. I'm only 8 weeks and am rounder around the tum already. Is it better to start using them sooner rather than later??

Bio oil

Hi,
Im 22 and 34+ wks pregnant and i have just started to notice stretch marks under my belly too, down really low and i can only see them if i look in the mirror. I have been using Bio oil since day one of my pregnancy to prevent as many stretch marks as possible. So far so good, Bio oil also fades any stretch marks you may already have so good for using after pregnancy too. My friend told me to use it because she found it brilliant for the scars from her boob job. With the amount of stretching your belly has got to do were lucky we have only got a few!

Good luck with it all, take care. x

Hello!!!

How are you ??
I have been using this amazing stuff that is fantastic, emu oil. I have been using it for a while it feels great and seems to work.

I no how you feel!

hiya,
when i was pregnant with my first i was exactly the same as you, 18 and didnt have any then they came up the last couple of weeks. was really gutted. they havent gone away im afraid to say but they have faded alot, everyone says oh if you put creams on all the time during your pregnancy you wont get them. well thats a lie it all depends on your skin type and some can take more stretchin than others. dont worry to much if there not that bad like your mum said then they should fade quite well.
