TRUST men really don't care...as for self esteem LADIES (ALL Y'ALL) life could be much worse... ie facial disfigurement...etc ( I won't go on)

I would rather have those than the deep dark ones |
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.

I used glycolic peels and microdermabrasion crystals to remove stretch marks on my arms. Its been 3 weeks and the stretch marks are almost completely gone. I keep looking at my arm because I just don't believe it yet.

^^^^^^^^ What strength peels did you use and where did you get the crystals from? Also how old were your stretch marks?
I was thinking of using TCA on mine.....

Those pics look mega painful! How old were your stretchies when you did this? Mine have literally appeared in the last 3-4months as I put on loads of weight rapidly  They are ob my arms & I find them so distracting!

This was taken 4 years ago, I stupidly used 50% TCA peel to try to 'get rid' of my stretch marks. It ended up scarring my skin. For years I have used numerous of skin lighteners to even out the dark areas and it has worked!!! But... it has cost me a lot of time and money. Not to mention it has damaged my self esteem and became ashamed of my legs.A TCA peel will not remove your stretch marks, even with a deep peel that I used they still came back after the skin healed.http://public.fotki.com/honeyz/my_tca_peel/

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.
