Stretch marks

[jlcp]

I was wondering if this procedure would help aid in the removal of stretch marks or at least help to hide them better?

The stretch marks after my pregnancies gradually almost always dissapear with time. And they're less pronounced than the first pregnancies later. They've almost completely faded but not 100%. But is it really necessary to have surgery for something a natural result of childbirth? I heard there are lots of fade out creams that do the work pretty well instead.

The only way to remove stretch marks is to remove the skin they are in. Fade creams and resurfacing-which is like dermabrasion, might help but in the end, the skin would have to be cut off for complete removal.

Good old vitamin E oil has helped alot of women with stretch marks, so I'm told.

Vitamin E 'does' help, but mainly before they're set in....so while the marks are still purply and before they turn completely white. Once they're white/clear, you can't really do anything to remove them, although they may fade over time.
