| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: Stretch marks, also known as striae distensae (SD), are a fairly common, asymptomatic skin disorder that affects mostly girls between the ages of 5 and 50. It frequently results in substantial distress and cosmetic anxiety. For the treatment of SD, micro-needling has been suggested as an effective strategy. Aim of the study: The purpose of this study was to assess how well micro-needling works for treating SD. Subjects and Methods: Dermapen was applied to 30 patients with stretch marks over the course of four sessions, separated by two-week intervals, and followed up one month later. Results: There was a significant statistical difference between striae's width before and after treatment with dermapen (P< 0.001), and there was a significant statistical difference between striae's color before and after treatment with dermapen between striae rubra and striae alba (P < 0.01), with higher values in striae rubra regarding color improvement. The difference between the Atwal score before and after dermapen treatment was highly statistically significant. Conclusion: Stretch marks can be effectively treated by microneedling. | ||
