Unfortunately it's there to stay. I have some really nasty stretch marks on my chest, lats and inner arms and Bio oil really works. It makes them a lot lighter.

Yea as vega said they not going away. Have them in the same place came on about 5 years ago when i started training properly after gaining some size and loosing some fat:
Like a light red/purple colour? The boi-oil did absolutely nothing for mine so gave up on it. However mine have somehow faded as ive picked up more size off my previous cycle and regime over the last year almost as if the stretch marks have stretched. So just get bigger and you will be fine :lol:

Just keep your skin moisturised and use bio oil. They will eventually fade and become almost invisible but they are there to stay....the skin is torn and cant repair itself. Tanning will slightly make them look faded but your best bet is laser therapy.

hi everyone. thanx for the replies

yeah ive had stretch marks before as a teenager after dropping about 37kg's in a year. (i was quite overweight). and yes they faded quite nicely.

didnt use bio oil back then. i know its permanent, was just looking for a quicker way to speed up the fading. its quite purple at the moment. and its growing (like the rest of me :lol: )

Hey bee, sorry ive bn so quiet. will email u as soon as i log off here. hope all is well?

Yep, got mine gaining muscle long before I started using gear. They've faded now but I'm still very conscious of them.
BioOil helps squat all...

I know alot of guys refer to them as badges of honour, to help keep up the moral.

I'm sure lots of other guys on the forum have them as well..?

Sorry if I offend you
Its just my point of view

Whether it works or not, just jury is still out, but, look at getting tissue salts from Dischem/Clicks for "blood and tissue cleanser" else, there are also salts for "tissue elasticity". They are pretty cheap, and not a bad option. Use that with Bio Oil together.
Else, laser therapy from Dischem.

Give it a shot, you're only TESTing it...

I used to use Bio oil quite a lot.

worked pretty well. Just couldnt stand that oily feeling all over me.

Now, I dont care much about the stretch marks, But I find getting a good tan deals with it quite nicely too.

It sucks when you do have stab wound.

I have been putting bio oil on my scars for years. Nothing helps.

And mine was a bottle !!hahahaha

Never fraternize with them as equals, never accept them as your social equals or they will devour you, they will destroy you.
