Reduce Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are a common side effect of pregnancy, but is there really any way to get rid of them or to prevent them in the first place? Parents TV’s Anne Ebeling goes beyond cocoa butter to get the skinny on stretch marks.

glycolic acid is a chemical skin peel, it can be used to remove the outer layers of the skin, thus forcing the skin to come up with a new skin layer, If apllied over stretch marks, depending on the concentration of the acid, our nutrition, drinking lots of water and using cocoa butter and baking soda to neutralise the acid after apllied, i wonder if they can disappear?

I’ve been heavy all my life, and I’m going to go in for the gastic bypass surgery in a few months. I was wondering, is there anything I can do now to help with the stretch marks, so they’re not as prominent later? I’ve heard cocoa butter helps, but I’m not sure if that’s just for pregnancy. I’m 19, and I’ve been morbidly obese all my life, so the stretch marks are a bit more than pregnancy ones.

Thanks in advance!

I know about maderma, but it’s a tiny supply for more money. Is cocoa butter good for reducing or just preventing? And is it best plain or in a lotion? Just whatever you can offer me is greatly appreciated!

Or is there a new and improved product out there?

ive heard of using cocoa butter but i also heard that reduces the risk of getting them, not actually getting rid of them after theyre there. would tanning make them look smaller or maybe even using this really expensive pimple cream stuff i have, the doctor said it thins out the skin, maybe that would work for stretch marks? what do you think?!!!
