Stretch Mark Cure...


I'm just wondering if you're supposed to see results right away? I did it for the first time yesterday, and I don't know if it's the lighting or what but my stretch marks actually look more visible

I wasn't too sure if there were any good treatments for stretch marks?

Karl, you'll have to be patient, removing stretch marks takes a long time. A large factor though is how deep are your stretch marks? What color are they? The less deep, the less time it takes for them to fade away.

Also, make sure you are doing it right. I did it like 3-4 times before I realized I wasn't doing it totally right...just read through the instructions a few times and make sure you're doing every step right, I personally find the instructions could be a little more concise...

But be patient with it -- some people see fast results, with some other people it takes more time.

The important thing to remember is that stretch marks never fully go away, the best thing you can do really is to fade them out almost completely (which is what the stretchmarkcure.com package does).

Well i dont see anything wrong with a little stretch mark or two depending on were it is, i got some on my chest between my PEC and SHOULDER ArmPit area becuase my PECS grew that quick but they fade of and you begin to not notice it, but its good proof of the DEVELOPMENT of MAN becoming BIG so in that sense be HAPPY

Here's a link to a product called StriVectin:

http://www.thebodyforum.com/kb/produ...index.asp?1564

(See if it works)

It is actually being marketed in a lot of the "women's newsletters" as an alternative to botox, because while it was INVENTED as a treatment for stretchmarks, they discovered a side-effect was that it reduced FINE lines and wrinkles (such as the tiny little marks around the eyes).

But the original development was to minimize stretchmarks.

I don't anything about it, never tried it, don't know anyone who has, but it came to me in one of the woman's health newsletters I get. It's available without a prescription, and it's expensive (I think around $150 give or take).

After I wiped off the creams with a wet towel (after the scrubbing process w/ the wooden scrubber thing), I would put on the elastin/aloe vera, and THEN I would rinse it all off in the shower..

But then a few sessions later I realized that after you wipe off the creams, you just rinse the stretch mark areas, pat them dry (but still leave a bit moist), and THEN put on the elastin/aloe vera and rub it in until the skin fully absorbs it (and it will only absorb it if the skin is just a bit moist).

So hopefully you aren't making my same mistake...heh.
