I think you can get individual treatments instead of the package and it's anywhere from $300-1000 per area.

i think bio oil is rose hip seed oil or rosa mosqueta. but not all brands are the same, but the efficacy and speed of healing is not as fast as cream based treatment, that i feel.

I agree that skinbrushing is a great for the skin. If you do a google search on it, you'll get tons of great info. Make sure to use a brush with natural bristles though.

As for stretchmark creams, I have had very good success w/ a cream called Barmon. While I don't believe anything will permanently remove stretchmarks on the skin permanently, Barmon cream has *greatly* reduced them to the point of being barely noticable, and I can live with that (I think

). Anyway you can check it out at www.barmon.com. I believe it still retails 19.99, but I actually purchased mine at www.bodybuilding.com b/c the price was like 13.99 a tube and their shipping is fast. Worked really well like I said, don't know if it's genetics or what but I used it through most of my last pregnancy religiously on my belly, and I never got a single mark on my belly (and I got huge, although I delivered prematurely at 7 months.) Unfortunatly I wasn't as diligent on the rest of my body and ended up getting them on my hips, butt and boobs

. Either way, It greatly reduced the appearance of the already existing ones. I am pregnany again, and I want to buy another couple of tubes to try to avoid those nasty suckers, lol! (fingers crossed)

Hope this helps!

I hope I get lucky as I did last time. My tummy was about the only place I didn't get any marks (and I was shocked since I was really big for 7 months. I think had I delivered full term I may have gotten at least a couple of them on my tummy). The good part is most of my existing stretch marks from before are almost all faded.

are they still pink or are they old ones? if you catch stretch marks when they are still pinkish in colour they can be reduced in size and apperance with micro dermabrasion

I have never been pregnant, but I have them on my back, butt, thighs, and breasts, have for years. I never gained weight, they just appeared. My boobs grew really fast, so thats probably why I have them there. I wore a bra when I was 10 or 11. They quit growing as fast as they started, and so now mine are smaller than most women, lol. I dont really care about my marks, no one can see them, my boyfriend already knows I have them. If I ditch him I dont want a new guy to see them though

I bet prescribed stuff will work for you.

I'm not sure, but the others can help you more than me.

I have used Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Cream... overall, I would say that it helps greatly... but my experience with it was interesting to say the least...

I would put on the cream before I went to bed, wake up with very very very faded marks (and be very excited because they were about gone!) but then, I would take a shower... and maybe it was the heat or the blood circulation of being awake or something but the marks would come back. It was upsetting really, but the marks have faded themselves anyway... or it seems that they show up worse at times and are hardly there at others.

Anyway, if you don't want to bother with a prescription (which you may want to, I don't know)... it won't hurt to try this product. It is not as expensive as scar treatments, which you can also buy at a drugstore, and it smells good, so thats a plus... and maybe it will work for you.
