Hello ladies..there is a cobone voucher a lazer session that erases stretch mark - pls find link below..The clinic is called Arya clinic and its near the iranian hospital..

I wanted to know if anyone has tried lazer removal for stretchmarks and does it work? I have old stretchmarks and want to know if these will disappear by lazer? how many treatments does one need, is it painful and any side effects? I am thinking of taking this voucher but i am scared to go to a clinic which is not well known and/or pay for something that doesn't work...I normally use cocoa butter but it hasn't helped that much...so please ladies do let me know your thoughts..

I used Dermalmd Stretch Mark Serum throughout my whole pregnancy and made it to the other side without a single stretch mark.

My friend had so many stretchmarks on her tummy, she tried this Carboxy treatment in one clinic in Jumeirah and when she showed me the result it is really amazing though it is not completely removed but the skin become more smoother than before. I did laser hair removal with that clinic last December and i'm happy with the result and hopefully my stretch mark will improve as well. I can share to you their number...it's 04-3484789.

Stretchmarks cant be removed. They are permanent. No lazer or cream will remove them and any place that claims to do so are lying and misleading. You can only improve the condition of the stretchmarks and their visibility by using oils like Bio-oil. You can also cover up stretchmarks with coverderm body makeup but thats about it.

I can't comment on the laser treatment but two of my friends back in the UK used Bio Oil with very good results, one for acne scars and the other post op on the scar with really good results. I've seen it for sale here in Dubai. Good luck xx http://www.bio-oil.com/en-us/ Bio-Oil is pretty good on stretch marks. I have been using it 2 weeks now on my lower stomach, and it seems they are less noticeable. I am pretty critical of myself; i have noticed improvement already. Mine developed in 1998. So they are what i would consider old. Let me also say this: depending on where your stretch marks are, if you build muscle in the right places, this muscle will cause a "lift" in the skin that will make them much less noticeable. That may be your best bet. I have no idea what your physique looks like, but when I am lean, you can't even see the ones on my tush/thigh area and trust me: I have a ton of these buggers. It takes work, but if you are willing to do it, building the right muscle and reshaping your thighs will probably be your best bet. good luck!

Hi redlesley.. thanks for your support..but yes, they do bother me...i had lost weight very quickly a long time ago and as a result have stretchmarks all over my thighs...i look awful and havent since gone swimming as i dont want people to see mu thighs..i have used cocoa butter which has helped reduce them, but there is still a lot... I dont mind paying a lot if it guarantees results without side effects, thats why I have turned for advise on lazer... anyone who can guide me on this pls? Well then good luck to you - I'm sure you look amazing and are the only one who actually notices them but if they're destroying your confidence I would say go for it. I think you're right to do as much research as possible though and try and get recommendations rather than rely on a deal - any reputable salon for this sort of thing should be happy to give you testimonials or the like. Wishing you the best and congratulations on losing the weight and as I say, I bet you look better than you think you do :)

Hello, I have not had this done, however I have had a consultation with a surgeon dermatologist at a very reputablle place and she did assure me there was no miracle treatment, and that stretch marks do not disappear. She said they could make them improve considerably but they would not go away. Having said that, it is something I will eventually do as I would be happy with just an improvement

Hi Nadiya, I haven't had the procedure done before but I had a consultation done about stretchmark laser and they always say the best candidate for the laser are those who have new red/purple stretchmarks as its easier to remove. Whereas the people with white/silver stretchmarks are much much harder to remove. Hope that helps abit

Personally? I wouldn't do it - are they really making your life a misery? Do you find yourself constantly in despair about them or are they just there and every now and then you think about getting rid of them? I always look at the worst that could happen - stretchmarks fade over time and compared with whatever treatment you'd have to have I'd wonder if it was worth it?
