Striae distensae (SD) or stretch marks are common cutaneous conditions that occur because of the stretching of the dermis.OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the efficacy of fractional carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser alone versus combined fractional CO 2 laser with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in SD treatment.
Thirty adult female patients with SD (SR and SA) were enrolled. In each patient, a split-lesion design was conducted as follows: pairs of SD on both sides of the midline were selected and allocated to groups A and B. Group A: was treated with combined fractional CO 2 laser with intradermal PRP. Group B: was treated with fractional CO 2 laser alone. Skin biopsies were taken from the lesions before and after treatment for histopathologic evaluation.
In group A, a significant excellent improvement of the SD was achieved more than in group B ( p = .007) and the mean of improvement was significantly higher (60.33 ± 26.49) than that in group B (43.80 ± 27.43) ( p -value = .001). Group A was also associated with a more significant dermal deposition of collagen and elastic fibers.
Combined fractional CO 2 laser with PRP was more effective than fractional CO 2 laser alone for the treatment of SD.
妊娠纹(SD)或伸展纹是常见的皮肤状况,由于真皮的拉伸而发生。
评估和比较单纯分馏二氧化碳(CO 2 )激光与联合富血小板血浆(PRP)治疗 SD 的疗效。
招募了 30 名 SD(SR 和 SA)成年女性患者。在每位患者中,均进行了皮损分割设计,如下所示:中线两侧的一对 SD 被选入 A 组和 B 组。A 组:接受联合真皮内 PRP 的分馏 CO 2 激光治疗。B 组:接受单纯分馏 CO 2 激光治疗。治疗前后从病变部位取皮肤活检进行组织病理学评估。
A 组 SD 的显著改善程度明显高于 B 组(p=0.007),且改善的平均值(60.33±26.49)明显高于 B 组(43.80±27.43)(p 值=0.001)。A 组真皮中胶原和弹性纤维的沉积也更为显著。
与单纯分馏 CO 2 激光相比,联合 PRP 的分馏 CO 2 激光治疗 SD 更为有效。
