stretch marks & incision scars



Recommended Posts

Anybody find a product that really works? I have three kids and the tiger strips to prove it! I have tried cocoa butter and don't think it works. I seen mederma but don't want to purchase unless it really works it is pricey.

If there were a cream that truly worked, you wouldn't see so many people with stretch marks. My opinion is to save your money.

stretch marks are ripped skin. (I'm sure someone can be more scientific, but basically that's what it is.). You can get creams that lighten the skin, but nothing reverses the damage.

Cocoa butter works, Mederma,

are good for stretchmarks.

ambi is good for scars. And garnier fructise just came out with a new product.

Proactive has a cream called dark spot corrector

and clinique has products for it as well but they are TOO expensive and the bottle is too small lol

All these products work. All you need is time, patience, and money.

My sister had this ugly scar on her leg and she put ambi for like 3 months. She went through 3 bottles and the scar faded.

You can also go to a dermatologist. They will prescribe you creams depending on the severity of the marks.

You can also go to a plastic surgeon or medical spa who can do laser or other procedures to remove the marks.

Good Luck!

Good Luck!!!!

As with most things involving the human body, the same things don't work the same for all people, this means that because something works for one person it won't necessarily work for you. The best advice is always to consult with a dermatologist, unfortunately that isn't always possible due to cost association. Good luck.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
