How to get rid of stretch marks without going for surgery?

Many people are concerned about stretch marks on their body. They do not wish to go under the knife to get rid of these marks. Most people prefer easy ways to free themselves of these marks. Finding a proper solution for this is a difficult task. Stretch marks are scars, which are very difficult to get rid of.


How do you get stretch marks?
Stretch marks are visible as indented streaks on the skin. These streaks develop when the skin is pulled repeatedly by rapid stretching. The production of collagen (a protein) is interrupted when the skin undergoes over-stretching. Protein is responsible for strengthening the skin. When protein creation decreases, the flexibility of the skin is reduced and this starts the formation of stretch marks.

Stretch marks, which develop during pregnancy, can go away. These marks, which start as pink, dark brown or purple, start fading after a while. Body builders also suffer from stretch marks. Instead of going for an expensive and risky stretch mark removal surgery, you can use creams and lotions.


How to get rid of stretch marks?
Most creams and lotions available on the market claim that they are effective and make stretch marks go away. But, only a few of these creams are really effective. You can use body skin care creams, which help in causing the stretch marks the fade.

The texture of stretch marks is not similar to the ones surrounding the marks. The area that is stretched is more transparent. Blood vessels are easily visible in the affected area. After some time, the blood vessels shrink and the reddish colour changes to white. This shows the fat deposit under the skin, which has become more transparent.

Luckily, most of these marks and ugly lines vanish as time passes by. Over a period of time, they disappear completely. This can happen if you use a good quality stretch marks removal cream regularly. In most cases, women who are light skinned tend to have light reddish or pinkish marks. But dark skinned women such as African American women have lighter stretch marks which are more clearer than normal skin. But besides using a cream or lotion, you can also try the following for stretch marks removal


Drink a lot of water
Sleep well
Exercise regularly and keep your muscles toned
Consume more foods that contain vitamin A and E.
Apply egg white to the area affected by stretch marks
Lemon juice works well on marks and scars
Apply Cocoa butter to the affected areas
Use jojoba oil, castor oil , olive oil, almond oil and aloe vera to treat stretch marks


A good stretch mark removal cream transfers an ingredient which enhances the skin to the dermal layer and promotes the production of collagen and elastin. Many stretch mark creams are available on the market but you should make sure that you buy a good one. Check and compare different products before you buy them. This way you can get rid of stretch marks without emptying your pockets.

What is Stretch Away?


The innovative formula provides new hope for women all over the globe. It is the product of extensive research and will serve to significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks in just 8 weeks. It can be utilised as a preventive measure to stop stretch marks before they appear, and each of the 7 active ingredients work alongside the skin to ensure that stretch marks are targeted before they develop. Stretch Away also contains 7 disparate formulas designed to visibly reduce the appearance of red, purple or white lines that appear on the surface of your skin. Silicon, another active ingredient, will serve to prevent any scarring while Vitamin K and Bearberry will eradicate any skin discolouration.


It has been reported that Retin-A, a concentrate of Vitamin A, is effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks. It should however be noted that Retin-A is a prescription drug and may cause the skin to peel in addition to other unwanted side effects. However the results achieved with this product cannot be overlooked, and it is for this reason that Skin Doctors have developed ‘stretch-away’, containing the perfect optimum of retinol to ensure maximum yet safe results. This advanced strain of Retinol will provide much improved results without any side effects.
