For many woman stretch marks can be seen as an embarrassment. Something that they wouldn’t want the world to see after pregnancy or extreme weight gain and then loss. So what is one to do about these ‘unsightly’ areas of skin that can make you feel shame and embarrassment? This article will talk about some of the ways one can work on fading stretch marks.

Stretch marks are scars where your skin, which is usually rather elastic has stretched itself far too much too fast. Causing breaks in the skin that are visually unappealing. What would be the ideal to do is start treating your skin as soon as you notice stretch marks to form. As it’s easier to keep your skin more elastic from the start than to try and battle marks as they there’s and been waiting awhile. If one is lucky in 10 years of doing nothing the marks will have faded. However, what woman truly wants to wait 10 years to see their skin look lovely again?

One method for fading ones stretch marks is to start with a skin care treatment routine. Each morning begin your treatment by rubbing Aloe Vera gel into places that have stretch marks. Next, at least twice during the day rub the CoCo butter into your stretch marks, this will help keep new ones from forming. Plus it just makes your skin feel silky smooth all over. Next, at night before bed apply the Tea Tree oil to your marks, do this nightly. Follow this routine until your preferred results are met. A more simple option to this is buying a cream designed for stretch marks, though results for such ‘miracle’ creams are varied.

There are also two more medical solutions one being a tummy tuck, the other laser removal. The first, laser removal is a surgical procedure with the use of a laser to remove areas of skin affected with the marks. Once the stretched ripped skin is removed, new unmarked skin will grow to replace it. Usually, laser removal has to be done in a series of treatments to completely remove the stretch marked skin.

The second surgical method used for stomach stretch marks is a tummy tuck. It removes loose skin around the abdomen, and tightens up the muscles as well as removing the marks below the belly button. Resulting in a flat smooth tummy with next to no marks. Though you will most likely be left with some amount of scaring after the surgery so you will have to weigh which is more important.

In the end, the option is up to you. Do you want a skin care regimen? Are you alright with surgical methods such as going under the knife? Or can you be comfortable with multiple sessions under a laser to remove the marked unwanted skin? These are just some of the more common practices for fading stretch marks.
