Unfortunately for established strecth marks, we are all stuck with them, you can reduce the appearnce of them and the redness and of course they will fade over time, but sadly the ONLY way to "get rid" of them and even then it is not guaranteed is surgery. Stretch marks are created when the dermis and the epidermis are strectched beyond their capacity at a rapid rate such as pregnancy and sudden growth and weight gain. The dermis (underlying layer) of the skin is actually torn apart and the the epidermis, the top layer which is the skin is streched over it but still holds it together, with strecth marks all kinds of damage is done under the skin, blood vessels are broken, which is why they are often a dark purple to begin with and as that healso ver time we are left with the white/silvery marks. Even men have them!! YES ladies, the next time you look at your significant other, check out his butt...lol thats right I said BUTT, because males grow so rapidly during puberty you will find "growth marks" on their butts from them shooting upwards!! SO dont be ashamed, everyone has them, they are all a part of life, but if you dont want to have them anymore at all that would involve serious plastic or cosmetic surgery.
Have a great day!
