What are the best treatments to remove stretch marks?
Heartiest congratulations on the wonderful addition to the family. Understandably, stretch marks can be frustrating to have. To date, there is still no clinically proven way to prevent them. Genetics is a key factor that predicts the development of stretch marks, so if you have a predisposition to stretch marks as you mentioned, then they will come, no matter how much creams or oils you lather on. Before you embark on any treatments for stretch marks, you have to first understand that it will likely never be completely eliminated.
