Stretch marks are next to impossible to remove. Laser therapy can help, but it doesn't remove them and it's rather expensive. You'll need to consult a cosmetic surgeon in your area.

Freddy is right. There really is no way to remove stretch marks. Especially the white ones since they have already formed the scar tissue. There is a surgical option where they actually cut out the stretch marks.

That's true, they can cut them out, but then you might have worse scars than the strech marks that have started to fade...

Hi Wet22, Stretch marks occur when the skin stretches rapidly (its very common during pregnancy for example) and is also very common in young people during growth stages (like you).

Although it seems like stretch marks are superficial, they're actually deep scars below the surface of your skin. You can't easily reach them, and so they can last for years.

Microdermabrasion can be a great option, because it will help you to bring the lesions to the surface. There are natural creams out there that can help to achieve this as they contain enzymes or tiny crystals to gently abrade your stretch marks.
