I've had success with Bio Oil and Mederma stretch mark therapy.

Bio Oil made mine less noticeable, they are less rough looking and they fade into my skin tone. I used to rub it on my skin, now I use it as a bath oil and put the mederma on afterward. Mederma can take 12 weeks to get full results though.

I'm looking into getting laser treatment next.]]> Sat, 20 Apr 2013 09:24:09 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/stupid-stretch-marks_topic243888_post10286066.html#10286066 <![CDATA[Stupid Stretch Marks! : since yours are light i would...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/stupid-stretch-marks_topic243888_post10280064.html#10280064 Author: desire-moi

I would suggest using the Raw African Shae Butter...but if u really need something stronger thats also %100 natural. Go to drsebiproducts.com and look under products. Check Out the Eva Salve.......it is High in calcium, fluorine and potassium phosphate which is essential for maintaining proper elasticity for the skin. Dr. Sebi is the guy that went up and beat the supreme court all of his products are 100.........and the eva salve is $25.00      .............but definately suggest you get the Raw African Shae Butter and don't use anything thats not %100 natural with it, because it won't work effectively at all. Also all Natural drinks that have antioxidants in it, and try drinking water with high PH levels, thats really effective]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2013 16:26:27 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/stupid-stretch-marks_topic243888_post10098000.html#10098000 <![CDATA[Stupid Stretch Marks! : The Person that invents a stretch...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/stupid-stretch-marks_topic243888_post10091708.html#10091708 Author: legzfordayz

It was the worst pain. Looking back my stretchmarks was not even all that bad. I have tried laser treatment. I had 8 treatment in total and it didn't have any effect of my old or new stretchmarks. It feels like I have dedicated so much time and money in removing them or just making the apperance of them not look so bad.]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 11:54:47 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/stupid-stretch-marks_topic243888_post6712502.html#6712502 <![CDATA[Stupid Stretch Marks! : Missvw wrote:This was taken...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/stupid-stretch-marks_topic243888_post6710478.html#6710478 Author: sbrooke

So sorry it didn't work out... It looked painful! I wish I had your before pics, I can barely see yours, mine on my legs are much worse.. Mine are light and go down longer on my legs. When I wear clothing that shows my legs, I put makeup on them, I can't go put without makeup on them. I want to try laser or the new thing called carboproxy therapy (how ever it's spelled) it doesn't use lasers it's something else, and doesn't have any extra scarring. I just don't want to get my hopes up.. My mother doesn't get why it makes me self concious, I tell her you don't under stand until you personally experience it. ]]> Sun, 04 Jul 2010 17:24:13 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/stupid-stretch-marks_topic243888_post6710478.html#6710478 <![CDATA[Stupid Stretch Marks! : Those pics look mega painful!...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/stupid-stretch-marks_topic243888_post6710423.html#6710423 Author: QueenBeaEsq

The darkers ones are actually better because it means that they are newer than the light ones. They are recently inflamed and the redness or dark red purplish color is a sign of your skin reacting to being stretched. When they become white they are older.
 
This is actually the best time, if your stretch marks are red and a purplish color to combat the full process of them getting worse.  I think you can do this thing where people dry brush and use Collagen Cream. They had a guide on here but I wouldn't know where to begin to look. If you are interested you can start a thread. But basically, the person would dry brush, then massage with a little massaging tool, then use a certain lotion, etc.
