| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Atrophic skin Strain scars, also known as striae or striae distensa, are a typical variety of atrophic dermal scars that are covered by a thicker, less elastic layer of epidermis. While initially appearing pink (as striae rubra), striae distensae eventually turn white (striae alba). Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an effective therapeutic option for striae rubra. Objective: Assessment of possible role of platelet -rich plasma for striae distensea management. Methods: We looked for data on striae distensa and Platelet -Rich Plasma in medical journals and databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. However, only the most recent or extensive study was taken into account between October 2006 and July 2021. References from related works were also evaluated by the writers. There are not enough resources to translate documents into languages other than English, hence those documents have been ignored. It was generally agreed that documents such as unpublished manuscripts, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations did not qualify as legitimate scientific study. Conclusion: New and promising in the treatment of striae distensa, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) poses no danger of hyperpigmentation or infection. | ||||
