please tell me there is a real way to minimize these as much as possible. They always bothered me but after i lost a bunch of weight they are really fucking terrible.

i heard microneedling can help but is there a cream that might help? collagen?

Bro looks like he got hit with shrapnel from a grenade lmfao. Rub salt + lemon juice on it. Make sure you rub it in HARD.

Just try everything, what else you got to lose

>>76275391 (OP)
Niggas turning into pulled pork.

>>76275391 (OP)
If you already have them
Micro-needling
Massage
Proper nutrition
Vitamin oil lotion, like vitamin E or whatever

If you're looking to prevent them, proper hydration, don't get fat, don't do steroids.

>>76275419
what kind of nutrition

>>76275391 (OP)
topical retinoids, hyaluronic acid, and taurine

>>76275394
You retard, that's how you treat burn wounds

>>76275448
what does the taurine do?

>>76275440
Nigger, eat the micronutrients, eat the macronutrients.

apparently ancestors had no reason to develop ay metabolism concerning the deep skin tissues so any changes after childhood is permanent (eventhough the body could potentially break it down for nutrients it does not have the mathabolic pathways to do that - poss because nobody in the history of evolution ever had the problem of "too much" or too little skin)

- fatties having excess skin flaps wont be able to loose them
- stiffies getting stretchmarks because they didnt develop the proper ROM (of skin too) in early childhood wont be able to get rid of them

;_; mfw I have both ... stretch marks on ass, stomach and armpits (from hanging) AND wrinkly ass skin

>>76275391 (OP)
This is divine punishment for having been fat. You deserve nothing less

>>76275461
Taurine heals scar tissue. Supplement it while applying topical retinoid to the scarring. Peptide therapy could maybe help too.

>>76275391 (OP)
They're unavoidable if you're gonna make any real gainz bruh, even guys like Mentzer and Arnold had them. Get arms bigger than 16" or bench above 2pl8 for reps and I guarantee you'll have some

time is the best healer bro, they'll eventually fade till they're barely visible. Sunlight is good for them too

>>76275521
which peptides?

>>76275411
>Niggas turning into pulled pork.
I know this place is full of glowies, but you can't just assume everyone is a cop.

>>76275521
I thought taurine was in energy drinks you mean that shit is medicine too? Dope

>>76275595

>>76275574
both TB500 and BPC157 will work with fibroblasts to reduce scarring

>>76275599
Taurine is also in cat food because Cats go blind without it (which they did in the 50s and 60s when commercial cat food without taurine became available and widespread)

>>76275391 (OP)
Terrible how? Aesthetically or in terms of feeling?

>>76275735
the ones on my stomach are now "deflated" and stick out like little folds

>>76275491
Surgery. Our divine intelligence allows us to overcome animal limitations.

>>76275391 (OP)
That feel when your skin rips apart and you can see the muscle fibers under it.

I was 6’2” in the 8th grade, ended up with armpit stretch marks about this bad. 28 now and they only faded, the skin never repaired.

>>76275391 (OP)

>>76275391 (OP)
Mine are red and look like scars so im happy with them

>>76275511
THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER

>>76275391 (OP)
Picrel, pretty much. Turmeric+bromelain had good results in an acne scarring trial, but idk if anyone has tested it with stretch marks. >>76275448 also good advice.

>t. level 999 skin wizard

>>76275391 (OP)
Is this real? Those hairlike skin fibres across those folds are weirdly horrific looking to me.

>>76276615
Yes, I have these on my thighs, they start real red but eventually fade to blend in with your skin like OP’s pic

>>76275391 (OP)
Perfect spot for a tribal tat.

i have those everywhere for no reason

>>76275391 (OP)
nothing you can do about them. don't worry about it. literal display of dedication to healthier lifestyle. a mog desu

>>76275391 (OP)
Dang, mirin. Mine don't even compare to those.

>>76275391 (OP)
never bulk or get fat in the first place

>>76275391 (OP)
Oof savage marks
Biggest is surgery, maybe microneedling sessions can help add proper skin there

>>76275391 (OP)
everyone who doesnt bench like a pussy gets this
i had this and dont anymore

>>76275391 (OP)
those are the most hideous stretch marks I've ever seen. Go to a medical professional you look like you're ripping apart.

>>76276523
Did it hurt?

>>76277941
I'm 198cm tall and I got these from literally growing up, never was fat.

microneedling is only thing that works, do 1.5mm stample once a week, probably will take like half a year to fix completely, don't bother with other snake oils

>>76278267
>only thing that works
>other snake oils

I just spent 20 sec searching and found this trial with lots of 1998 boomer shit that all works:

>https://journals.lww.com/dermatologicsurgery/abstract/1998/08000/Comparison_of_Topical_Therapy_for_Striae_Alba__20_.6.aspx
>Comparison of Topical Therapy for Striae Alba (20% Glycolic Acid/0.05% Tretinoin Versus 20% Glycolic Acid/ 10% L-Ascorbic Acid)
>profilometry can objectively measure differences in skin texture associated with striae treatments when compared to controls, however, it is not sensitive enough to justify comparison or quantitative improvements between similarly effective treatments.
protip: some kinda combination therapy usually works the best for pretty much everything.
