Does anyone know if StriVectin really works on stretch marks? And if the Chi Flat Iron is worth the investment?

What can I do next?

Yes the Chi flat iron is great! It is really expensive but it works good and has lasted a while for me!

Hi B.,

Antioxidants, especially grape seed and grape skin based will do wonders for the elasticity of your skin. They also have an added benefit of being good for your heart and arterial system.

Good morning. I have a patient that tried StriVectin and was not at all impressed with the results to improve her stretch marks after her child or her scars following her breast reductions.

She was very happy with the results she received from a product called Pentaxyl. She had very visible results on her stretch marks and scars after only a few short weeks. Information regarding Pentaxyl, and the purchase of,can be reviewed by visiting www.drtucker.nutrametrix.com
It has a pleasant smell and the tube lasts a very long time.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like to communicate with the patient directly.

Have a great day.
Dr. T.

I know the Chi flat iron is definitely worth the investment. I have had mine for like 3 years and it gives off that salon look instantly! Get the chi oil that comes with it.

I used he Palmers Tummy butter while pregnant with twins and after and it really worked. I have about two stretch marks but I think the tummy butter definitely helped minimize them.

Also, my hairdresser uses the chi and it works, great I have long thick curly hair and have tried allt ypes of straightening but the Chi is the only one that gets my hair completely straight and also gives it body. Ebay is a good place to purchase one at a lower price.

The Chi is the flat iron used by my hairdresser. I finally bought my own several years ago - it is totally worth the investment !!!!

I can't comment on the StriVectin, but I have a Remington flat iron that I bought at Target, for about $40. I love it!!! One of my best friends is a hair dresser & can't believe the results. I have EXTREMELY curly hair, and with my 2 inch Remington, my hair looks perfect. It doesn't pull my hair like my old one did, and my hair is very shiny after straightening. Having four kids, I couldn't justify the price of a Chi, and I'm glad that I didn't get it, now. Good luck!

Hi B.,
StriVectin does work, but only if you use it EXACTLY how they say on the box. And really nothing can make your stretch marks go away, but it does flatten the skin and make them much less noticeable. And my best friend swears by the Chi Flat Iron. I don't have one, but I want one :)
Good luck!

This answer may be to late to your question, but I used StriVectin and I saw some results with it. But it's too costly! So I started using Clarins Stretch Mark Cream and it works great and you get more for you money than StriVectin. You can get it from a dept. store or Sephora.

Not sure about the strech mark cream, I want to know that answer to. But instead of the Chi iron, I would get the FHI HEAT iron. They sell it at target or you can get it online. Just put FHI Heat in google and some cheaper site will come up! I love it. It's so much better than the CHI and leaves a great shine. The professionals that do my hair use FHI and that is why I bought it.
