I am a licensed Cosmetologist from California and for many years have worked closely with Plastic surgeons and Dermatologists.

Stretch marks are the caused by stretching of the skin during the growing process, whether it be weight gain or during pregnancy, Skin stretches around the breasts, thighs, buttocks and stomach especially during pregnancy.
Once the skin has stretched, there is no product that will bring the skin back together again.
Laser treatments have been effective in removing the top layers of the skin to allow new skin to form which may show less 'stretch marks'.

Stretch marks are usually genetic and there is not much one can do to avoid them except keep your weight down.

See a licensed experienced dermatologist for this. Anyone who tells you there are products on the market to remove them is not telling you the truth,because scienfically, it is not possible.

Good luck!
