Reply With QuoteStop having babies!Sorry...
I've heard that cocoa butter works well, but havent seen any scientific proof to back that up. Also, I've been told that massage can prevent stretch marks...again, no science to back it up. I don't buy into things easily without scientific proof. I'd be interested to read anything you come up with...I've been curious about this myself.

Depending on how bad the stretch marks are, a chemical peel will not work. THESE ARE PAINFUL. They pure acid like chemical on you and burns like hell, then your skin turns all black and peels, then it's all bright pink and you'll have to stay away from sun light for a while. I had a chemical peel to get rid of some freckles.
Laser surgery -- I'll ask the my doctor bud and see what he suggests.
Lotions and stuff......I'm with the guy above...Until there is scientific data to support this, I don't buy it. Wish I knew.Don't hate the player, hate the game!http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/...the%20wave.GIF

Growth is obviously key, but I can understand his concern. I'm getting some very small stretch marks around my outer thighs (they used to be the size of twigs). It looks pretty damn bad! One of the reasons most of us train is for aesthetics...stretch marks arent aesthetically pleasing to say the least.Originally posted by prophet

It's possible that your skin just has more elasticity.Originally posted by derekisdman

Why would do people want to get rid of stretch marks that came from muscle growing??? it baffles me, I wish I had more, I love them they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, or that could be dinner, either way I say wear them with pride

I agree with Prince......it's not very attractive.

As said, it depends on the skin's elasticity, as well as the rate of growth (relative to the former).
Mederma has decent feedback. It's more useful as a preventive measure, it seems.Not to see many things, not to hear many things, not to permit many things to come close - first imperative of prudence, first proof that one is no mere accident but a necessity.
