Stretch marks are really the bane of all women. Despite the workouts and the diets, it seems that they somehow sneak up on us as time passes, especially if you have kids or have lost and/or gained weight. And let’s be honest, who hasn’t done some yo-yo dieting at one time or another?

One thing’s for sure, though. The skin doesn’t always bounce back like a yo-yo. The little white telltale marks may not mean much to anyone else, but when you want them gone, you want them gone. A lot of advice columns suggest using cocoa butter or Vitamin E oil, but really these things don’t make a difference. So what’s the best way to get rid of stretch marks?

Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy Lotion has helped thousands of women to diminish stretch marks in a matter of weeks. It’s important to remember that the final results depend on the age of the user and the condition of the skin. But a noticeable change does occur, no matter the variables. As an added bonus, not only does Mederma help to fade stretch marks, but it gives the skin a youthful radiance.

Skinception is another stretch mark slayer. It focuses on repairing lost collagen and elastin, two scientifically proven factors that contribute to the little skin beasts. Not only will it help fade them, but it will help prevent them as well. It is one of the best creams to use during pregnancy or strenuous sports training, when stretch marks often pop up.

Laser stretch mark removal is probably the most consistently effective treatment. It is the most expensive option, but it works wonders. It takes about five or six treatments, and works best on stretch marks that are newer, with a slight purple tinge. If interested, as us about laser treatment for stretch marks.

Microdermabrasion is another non-invasive option that avoids chemicals found in some of the creams. It will also leave the skin looking shiny and healthy, as that was its original purpose. Helping to fade stretch marks is an added bonus.
