Most will agree that stretch marks are not considered beauty marks and yet almost everybody has them.  The best way to get rid of stretch marks would be to prevent them but we all know that most people don’t do preventative medicine but look for answers after they obtain the problem. And that is often the case with stretch marks.  We get them during rapid growth spurts during puberty, rapid weight gain, rapid bodybuilding, and the number one cause for women, pregnancy.So now that you have them you are trying to get rid of them.While some just look for a quick remedy others are looking for a natural removal method. There are many methods that claim to get rid of your stretch marks which include creams and oils, laser treatment, and microdermabrasion. However, the method to choose can be hard.To help you analyze your options here are brief descriptions of each removal method.

Stretch Mark Creams

There are many creams and oils out there but the number one thing to think about when shopping for one is making sure it is not saturated with water.The more water a cream has the less it will penetrate into the skin, which will decrease its effectiveness on deep stretch marks.Cocoa butter is another ingredient you want to watch out for.Cocoa butter is a great moisturizer that can aide in preventing stretch marks but does not work as well on existing stretch marks. Like water based creams it is unable to penetrate deep enough into your skin to do repairing of skin tissue.The most effect cream will penetrate deeply into the skin to repair the skin at it’s deepest level.Old and new stretch marks can be reduced with these types of creams.The timetable for visible results varies heavliy but creams are safer, considerably cheaper, and easier to use than other methods of removal.

**For those of you attempting to get rid of pregnancy stretch marks it is important for you to know that stretch mark creams that contain Tretinion or Retin-A are NOT RECOMMENDED for breastfeeding mothers.  There is not enough reliable information regarding the amount of Retin-A that is excreted in breast milk or its effect on the nursing baby.**

Laser treatment

Laser treatment uses a laser to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.The procedure is expensive and health insurance companies will not cover it.Laser treatment has produced a range of results, some improved while others endured additional scarring marks from the procedure.

Microdermabrasion

This process uses tiny rough grains that buff the surface of the skin but at the same time help stimulate collagen production in the deeper tissues.Multiple treatments are required to get results and results vary greatly just as with laser treatment.  This process is also expensive.

After evaluating these methods you can see that the best method to start with is stretch mark creams.To get the best results though make sure the cream is not water based and includes the necessary ingredients for deep penetrations.  If you still have trouble reducing or minimizing the appearance of your stretch marks you should look into the other options.
