Stretching the Truth?

Anyone who tells you that you can eliminate stretch marks isn't telling the truth. Once you've got 'em, they'll never go away completely. All you can do is make them less noticeable--lasers such as the V Beam have shown promise. The earlier you catch them, though, the better chance you have of their responding to treatment, so if you're pregnant, say, and know you're prone, slather on a heavy duty moisturizer with shea butter and hope for the best.
