[MERGED] All About Stretch Marks

[privatesinger]

doc ira, how about stretch marks caused by pregnancy. lalo na below the navel na malalim ang stretch marks? do we have laser surgery now in the philippines that does this?

[Ira]

You should first try exercising. If you have just given birth recently, you should wait a few months because the stretch marks will significantly fade with time. There are laser centers here in Manila for that.

doc ira, di nakuha ng exercise e. 2 & a half yrs n since i gave birth. still any chance w/ laser?

[Ira]

Yup. At that length of time, your scar would already be mature and probably won't shrink further. You can consult a dermatologist here in Manila to see if you can avail of this option and other options available.

kapag pumayat ba eh mawawala na ang stretch marks???

[hannah17smb]

bakit ang stretchmarks eh lagi na lang sa may upper arm na malapit sa kilikili, chest, breast area, alak-alakan, hips, singit, gilid ng tuhod, tiyan, likod, likod ng kilikili at kung saan pa man sya lumalabas???

[Ira]

At the very least, the stretch marks will be minimized, if it doesn't totally fade.

Paano mawawala or maiiwasan ang stretch marks? Natatanggal ba ito?

i saw this product in body shop which claims that it will reduce the visibility of the stretch marks. i dunno if it works though, i haven't tried it eh... medyo mahal, 500pesos for the small container.

kakainis nga ang stretch marks! i have them, those white ones. pangit tignan! paano nga bang alisin ang mga ito? any medicines or dermatologists you can suggest?

there's no cure for stretch marks coz the elasticity of the skin is damaged already...u could apply vit E creams...it will help to lighten the marks but it would not take your stretch marks away totally...in vicky belo clinics...they have this skin master where they say that they could lighten the stretch marks up to 80%...no idea how much it costs...

Somebody told me that aloe vera is good...try aloe propolis...I know somebody who could sell it to u..It won't actually remove those but the redness & the dark areas will fade

[ravencurl]

lalake po ako, 18 years old. dati, bumili ako ng set ng weights, e di nag-bulge yung muscles ko sa arms. tapos, lately, nagkakain ako. nagkaroon ako ng stretch-marks sa buong biceps (magkabilaan).

so, hindi na talaga siya matatanggal? ang pangit kasing tignan...

tried and tested stuff to use for stretch marks is cocoa butter..the body shop has cocoa butter in stick form...about 500 pesos...u can also substitute body butter (has to be cocoa butter of course)...

[sabine92575]

yun nga! that's it! it's the cocoa butter from body shop :-) that's the one i saw which could lighten (not totally erase) your stretch marks!

[dudelish]

okay, it'll especially weird since i'm a guy. weird-er because i weigh less than 124lbs. but see, i began eating a LOT of food to gain weight when i started working out. then i dramatically increased the intensity of my workout. now i managed to maintain my weight at the same weight but when i measured my body fat, it has dropped by like 40%. so good for me. the weight that i actually have is muscle. naturally, my measurements shrunk too because of this. i lost over an inch in my measurements, and i have stretch marks on my biceps, and my shoulders, and my waist area.

how do you lighten those?
