Stretch Marks / Striae
Striae or stretch marks are common and disfiguring dermatologic conditions, which usually arise due to obesity, pregnancy, rapid weight gain or weight loss, certain endocrine conditions, and prolonged use of steroids. Initially, typical lesions on the abdomen, breasts, thighs, or buttocks present as raised edematous linear plaques or stretched flat (striae rubrae), after which the color fades and turns white and atrophic (striae albae) as a result of local breakdown and reorganization of collagen and elastin bundles. According to the domestic and international literature reports, the incidence of stretch marks is approximately 60–90%, and most of them begin to appear around 24 weeks of pregnancy. The stretch marks, especially striae albae present with permanent lesions, increasingly cause considerable psycho-social distress, which often leads to a decrease in quality of life.
Transformation Medical has several solutions based on effective laser technologies that help these persistent scars disappear. Alma lasers in Transformation Medical can significantly improve the condition of striae resulting from severe skin damage by triggering neocollagenesis to replace fibrous tissue with healthy, healed skin, resulting in more uniform skin and a decrease in the appearance of striae.
