Thank you for the actual USEFUL answer. I just have two quick questions for you since you know what you're talking about. I don't want to use Google because it has constantly told me Cocoa Butter works but I tried it for months with no use. So, real quick, do you think tanning a lot could hide the a lot more? I have read that stretch marks actually reflect more sun than normal skin and can actually make the stretchmarks pop out more, but other people have said tanning gets rid of them completely. Also, do you know if laser surgeries are guaranteed to work, and about how much they can be?
Treatments for stretch marks are usually more harmful - for you or your wallet - than just leaving the marks alone to fade. As far as I know, stretch marks don't tan like the rest of your skin, so they would pop out even more. I think the risk of sunburns and more serious effects is higher with stretch marks (since it's technically scar tissue). Laser surgeries are guaranteed to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, but they're very expensive.
I know this isn't the answer you want to hear (er, read), but you'll have to learn to wear your stretch marks and let them slowly fade over time. There's no treatment guaranteed to work-- though they're all guaranteed to have you spend money. And the truth is that nobody really cares. People get them from gaining or losing weight; you got yours because you gained muscle mass. So wear them with pride.
You're right, thanks for the help.
