Abstract
- Striae Distensae is a very common cosmetic problem. The effectiveness of various lasers, such as the 585-nm pulsed dye laser on the treatment of striae distensae has recently been reported. However, the potential pigmentary alteration of dark skin by pulsed dye laser is known. Thermage is a radiofrequency capable of delivering higher energy fluences to a greater volume of tissue than nonablative lasers, with no epidermal injury. We report three patients who had striae distensae. They were treated with Thermage and 585-nm pulsed dye laser. The treatment was effective and safe for dark skin.
