Tasmannia lanceolata leaf extract alleviates stretch mark appearance in a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in women and stimulates extracellular matrix synthesis in ex vivo human skin explants. The leaves of Tasmannia lanceolata mainly contain polygodial that is known to exhibit a range of biological functions including anti-inflammatory effects. These studies aimed to assess the effects of Tasmannia lanceolata extract (TLE) on skin and more particularly on stretch marks in women. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study was carried out on 29 women, aged from 25 to 60 years, to investigate the effects of TLE on stabilized stretch marks. TLE and placebo products were topically applied daily for 8 weeks. Skin roughness and firmness of stretch marks were

Development of a combination therapy with silanols complexed with boron citrate and ablative-fractional laser for treatment of wrinkles and stretch marks. The twenty first century's progress in medicine and cosmetology triggered the search for effective and safe new cosmetics and procedures to fight with such problems as wrinkles or stretch marks. The study aimed to use the synergy of silanols with boron compounds and to develop treatment methods supported by a fractional-ablative laser. Sixty-seven Caucasian people were enrolled in this study: 33 patients with facial and neck wrinkles and 34 patients with stretch marks. Preparations containing methylsilanetriol were pressed into the skin by means of oxygen infusion which were followed by the fractional-ablative laser treatments

Clinical and immunohistochemical comparative study of the efficacy of carboxytherapy vs platelet-rich plasma in treatment of stretch marks. Striae distensae are dermal scars with a linear atrophic depression. The exact origin of striae distensae remains unrevealed, but low expression of collagen and fibronectin genes in the affected tissue was found. Several treatment modalities have been proposed, yet no consistent modality is available. To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of carboxytherapy vs platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treatment of stretch marks. This study included 20 patients with striae alba. Every patient received treatment in the form of PRP injection in their right side (group A) and carboxytherapy session in their left side (group B) every 3-4 weeks for 4 sessions

Calcium Hydroxylapatite Combined with Microneedling and Ascorbic Acid is Effective for Treating Stretch Marks Stretch marks can have a negative psychological impact on some individuals. Methods are available for treating stretch marks, but high-quality evidence supporting their use is limited. We treat stretch marks using injections of diluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA, Radiesse) filler in stretch mark appearance ( < 0.001). Subjects were very satisfied (n = 22; 62.9%), satisfied (n = 8; 22.9%), neither satisfied nor dissatisfied (n = 4; 11.4%), or unsatisfied (n = 1; 2.8%) with their treatment results. Analysis revealed a significant correlation between Scar Scale scores and Patient Satisfaction scores (r = 0.483; = 0.003). Skin biopsies showed increased quantity and quality of collagen

Use of a specific anti-stretch mark cream for preventing or reducing the severity of striae gravidarum. Randomized, double-blind, controlled trial. Few studies have tested the efficacy of commercially available cosmetic products for preventing striae gravidarum. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate efficacy on prevention of striae gravidarum using a specific anti-stretch mark (cream without the active ingredients). Overall incidence of stretch marks during pregnancy was 33.3% for the control group and 37.6% for the treated group (n.s.). Severity of previous stretch marks significantly increased in the control group during the study (17.8%, P = 0.001), but not in the treated group (6.3%, ns). In women who developed new stretch marks during the study

rarely lead to serious side effects such as thinning of the skin, adrenal suppression or very rarely Cushing’s syndrome, due to systemic absorption. The incidence of these more serious side effects is linked to the amount, potency and duration of use of the topical steroid. Thinned skin appears translucent with visible tiny blood vessels and may be more fragile and more susceptible to stretch marks that the individual will require oral steroid therapy replacement. Cushing’s syndrome manifests with the development of a red, puffy, rounded face, acne and excessive facial and body hair, high blood pressure, weight gain, stretch marks, slow wound healing and frequent infections. Patients, particularly those who require prolonged use or are using very potent topical steroids, should be advised to look

than 6 times per day from each breast on most days before being aware of having insufficient milk production. The proportions of proposed breast hypoplasia markers including atypical breast type, widely spaced breasts, breast asymmetry, stretch marks on the breast and lack of pregnancy breast growth. We also estimated the odds of having breast hypoplasia markers in at-risk groups compared to reference groups, adjusting for covariates. Approximately 68% reported at least one atypical breast (270/399; 95% CI: 62.9%, 72.1%). Around 47% reported widely spaced breasts (212/449; 95% CI: 42.7%, 52.7%), 72% a lack of pregnancy breast growth (322/449; 95% CI: 68.3%, 77.4%), and 76% stretch marks on the breast (191/250; 95% CI: 70.7%, 81.3%).
