Striae Distensae Treatment Using Deep Skin Abrasion

Stretch Mark Treatment Using Subcutaneous Skin Abrasion

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a device works to treat striae distensae. It will also learn about the safety of the device. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does the device improve the appearance of striae distensae?
2. Does the device cause any problems when treating striae distensae? Researchers will compare the appearance of striae distensae before and after treatment with the device.

Participants will:

1. Undergo treatment with the device in the clinic
2. Visit the clinic 1 week, 3 months, and 1 year for checkups and tests

Participants will have the area of striae distensae anesthetized with local anesthetic. A biopsy will be performed and a device will be placed underneath the skin that will abrade the skin. Three months later another biopsy will be performed, photographs will be taken, and participants will fill out surveys to determine the effectiveness of the device to improve the appearance of the striae distensae.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Striae distensae
