They will fade over time, BUT THEY WILL NEVER GO AWAY. Also, there is no OTC TOPICAL ANYTHING (or anything else for that matter) that will make them go away. THEY ARE PERMANENT......I've had a few puppies. I KNOW! ------------------ | ||

Maybe I'm weird, but I've always look at my stretch marks as battle scars. Never really bothered me. Kinda fond of 'em. | ||

Mine are under my arms and not noticeable unless I'm raising my arms over my head, but I really don't care, they are just part of the lifting game for some bro's. Live with them they are a sign of good strong growth and tight skin. Both positives. ------------------ | ||

Stretchies may not be permanent. There is a procedure called microdermabrasion that can supposedly remove them or reduce them. I'm considering having it done. Apparently it's not extremely expensive. Check with a cosmetic surgeon | ||

I doubt it. Stretch marks are a result of the skin tearing from the inside out, so even if you did remove the upper layers of the skin, the underlying layers are damaged as well. So I don't see how this process would help. There is only one way that I know of to permanently and completely remove stretchmarks - that is to remove the skin itself. Technology is always changing, but the last time I checked w/my doc (cosmetic surgeon) once your skin has been damaged in this fashion, you are stuck w/it. ------------------ | ||

I have stretch marks on outer pecs as well, they just keep getting bigger, the one on my left armpit is about 5 inchs, but has faded a lot and doesnt show unless arms are lifted. I went on holiday and got a good tan, this helped to conseal them and may be worth considering for you. also try retin A to dry the skin or cut open vitamin e caps and apply to your skin this helps to fade them. hope this helps, Jim. | ||

Stretch marks are like metals in the army. They are signs of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. Now Im not talking about stretch marks from being a fat slob. The shit I mean is an explosive growth spurt where your fucking muscles are ready to tear out of your body. I cherish mine and nurture them with lots of TLC. They are my war wounds and like rings on the inside of a tree, show your own history. "When I die its gonna take at least 100 angels to lift me up to the pearly gates" | ||

You cannot cure them, but you may prevent them by using a HYALURONIC ACID cream. It's the only product that helps (except estro-gels, but I don't think you want them). The creams that we use in Italy are imported: BONAL (from Soledor, Switzerland) STRECH-LINE (from PIB, Japan) COSMED aslo from Switzerland. BONAL and STRECH-LINE contain both 0,01% of HYALURONIC ACID. | ||

I agree with punch, they're battle scars. I love mine, but I'm also naturally a tad darker skinned, my italian roots, so a tan might be a good idea so they don't stand out too much. But them suckers look awesome after a good pump when they're just blood fucking red, to each his own though. If you do print work I can see where you might want to get rid of them. | ||

I've even got stretch marks on my ass! on my hammies too, but I mean like mid-cheek. I'm very prone to S. marks, I'm kinda nervous about AS use because of stretch marks. oh well... small price to pay. | ||

My girlfriend recently had Breast Augmentation and uses this topical cream called MEDERMA. I can't recall what the active ingredients are. We heard about it through a friend. It's supposed to be good for lessening the appearance of scars and stretch marks. My girlfriend went from a small B to a small D (mouthfull to more than a handfull) so I would expect some stretch marks but she has been using this product and the stretch marks are not really noticable and believe me I have looked. The scar from the point of insertion is also minimal. You can get it at any Drugstore without scripts. | ||
