How to get rid of stretch mark naturally?

Have you used plastic surgery to get rid of post baby belly skin? (laser stretch mark removal?)?

• There is a dermatology/plastic surgery procedure, it is laser stretch mark removal. I have pretty bad stretch marks in color and depth, and my skin is loose. It is only like $400 per treatment, and since I'm only 21 I am very self conscious and bummed I can't wear bikinis or sexy lingerie for my husband anymore. ANYWAYS, does the laser work??? How many sessions did you need?

• Answer:

  My sister had the laser treatment done. She paid close to $1000 total for like 8 treatments. It did NOT make her skin tighter, nor did it completely rid her skin of the stretch marks. It just made them fade faster and turn silver quicker. She actually thinks the laser may have done more harm than good and wonders if they would have disappeared better on their own. But I have been told by a few different women that Mederma is awesome on stretch marks. They are never going to completely disappear, it's just a matter or getting them to fade as much as possible. And at around $40 for a tube of the ointment I think it's a better bet to at least TRY first versus spending $400 per laser treatment that may not even work.
