Stretch marks are permanent phenomena and very rarely disappear. But the good thing is that they usually become considerably less noticeable over time, naturally. In fact they eventually become a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone.
For the more fastidious, stretch marks can be treated after pregnancy to regain good looking skin. Ointments, such as Retin-A can help with stretch marks. This treatment works best when applied during the first few days postpartum. However Retin-A is not safe to use during pregnancy and while breast feeding as it has adverse effect on the nursing infant.
Postpartum laser treatments are rapidly gaining in popularity and could be beneficial. Using a laser, stretch marks are treated by flashes of laser light that pass through the skin into the collagen, the second layer of skin. These treatments are quick, with little recovery time involved.
Cosmetic surgery is another option, but is used as a last resort, particularly for more severe scarring from stretch marks.
Blue light therapy for stretch mark treatment involves using gel and light to remove your stretch marks. The most popular option to women for treating stretch marks is to use creams, like cocoa butter cream. This works by saturating your skin with moisture. Oils and creams help repair the collagen and elastin growth of the skin. Specially formulated stretch mark creams aim to rebuild the structure and promote the rejuvenation of your skin's layers. These natural creams contain cocoa butter, wheat germ oil and lanolin to help heal and moisturize your skin.
