Posted on Fri, 5 Oct 2012

Question: Hi I am like 27 years old, doctors say i have appropriate weight for my height. But i am unhappy about certain areas of my body and have been running and jogging three times a week for about 30-45 mins. This has resulted in loosing some weight and stretch marks on the sides of the waist and on my butts also the upper thighs.

please suggest me an effective remedy for getting rid of these marks, since i am supposed to be married in another 3-4 months and am very conscious about these areas.

thanks, XXXXXXX

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query. I will be glad to be of assistance.

Stretch marks are actually quite stubborn and turn out difficult to get rid of. They may not completely go away. However they may slightly fade over a period of time.

Application of Retino A cream once at night on the stretch marks will be helpful in lightening the stretch marks.

Also erbium laser is thought to be effective. However it can be quite expensive.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Regards,
