If you have lived with your stretchmarks for some time, you know at this point that they probably won’t go away on their own. Most likely, they have changed to a translucent whitish grey color from the typical red or purple tone. Nevertheless, they are still there, you know it, and you want to do something about it. Am I right? So, how can you remove old stretchmarks?
There are a number of options when it comes to fading these marks and making their appearance less obvious. Most involve application of a stretchmark cream or lotion and a program of massage and exfoliation. There is a number of effective stretchmark removal products on the market for this purpose, with some of the best noted in our product reviews (see ZENMED Stretta Cream, Moy’s Striae Crème, or Barmon’s Cream).
The Ultimate Treatment
But if you are looking for a permanent stretchmark solution, the only effective treatment involves plastic surgery. This is not for everyone, because it does involve the removal of your damaged skin and is considered serious surgery. And if this isn’t pause for concern, the cost of this procedure can be quite high. We believe that this option should be considered as a last resort if all other stretchmark treatment options just don’t give you the results you can live with.
More Reasonable Treatment Alternatives
The good news is that the higher quality stretchmark removers can fade the marks to the point where they are almost indistinguishable from the surrounding skin. Even if the stretchmarks are 10 years old, significant progress can be made to lighten their appearance. A program of massaging and gentling exfoliating your affected skin will result in a dramatic improvement.
The key is to be consistent and patient with your treatment program. It can take 2-4 weeks before you will start to see any difference. But once the healing process begins, you should see consistent improvement for as long as you continue the treatments.
If you elect to remove old stretchmarks with one of the stretchmark creams we recommend (rather than radical plastic surgery), you can be assured that they work well if used as directed. If at ant time you become dissatisfied with the product, they all have generous money-back guarantees. So what have you got to lose other than a little treatment time and those old, ugly stretchmarks?
