I had pretty big violent red stretch marks all over my sides and around my belly button and amazingly enough they are disappearing.

I should have took before and after pictures and I didn't but I'm pretty amazed that not only is my 330 lb which was mostly in my stomach snapping back but that my stretch marks are completely seeming to heal.

Did not expect that at all.
 
Can I ask what ur taking, like from what are they disappearing?

If they were red and purple, they usually get brighter if u mean that, but them disappearing is a way different thing
 
I didn’t get stretch marks but I got the crepey shriveled up skin on my upper arms n knees! My skin must be too old to bounce back! Ohhhh to have that smooth shark skin once again…

I lnow? The were pretty red,purple and now they are super faded and the skin that was colorful and stretched thin is no longer so thin. Ill take pictures when I get home from work.

Im a guy in my 50s and expected an apron, as well as crepey stretchmarked skin after a 100+ pound loss but apparently im going to have niether.

Do you use any serums, creams, or pin GHK? What do you do to reduce the size/pigmentation?

My stretch marks are white so I understand they not coming out, but one can hope anyways...
 
Literally nothing really. I swim 3 or 4 times each week, use zero lotion, no ghk-cu or Snap 8, I do get a lot of steps in each day for work....

Expected a giant apron and crepe stretch marks? Seriously. The other day I was pinning and I used to have to avoid my stretch marks because the skin was so thin and it hurt to pin through them.

Not anymore. The skin has thickened up ( not completely but to a huge degree ) and I was just about astounded.

But I guess genetics are at play, besides reta and tirz, bpc157 there's no other supplements or special diet that I can think of that might have helped that.

And usually my genetics seem to suck for most things, so imagine my surprise.

I just saw the BPC does help increase collagen and wound repair.

How much are you pinning and how often??

also what are you eating? ?

Super jealous! I mean very happy for you 😊 My face skin is great and I look 5-10 years younger than I am. My body skin looks 10-15 years older than I am. Genetically blessed with loose ass body skin, even when I was in my 20s. After goal, its gonna be me squirreling away money to snip snip!

So what are you taking? What do you attribute to healing the stretch marks?

Yeah. I bet it's the BPC. @Gr33dyOctopus -

how much BPS are you pinning? And in what location on your body? And at what frequency?

Stretch marks do naturally eventually go normal skin coloured and get thinner once they are no longer under tension with weight loss, and do get much less obvious, as far as I know the changes to the skin are structural so are not going to heal up completely
