Figures & data
Figure 1. Skin appearance immediately after the procedure. Erythema and edema are conspicuous.
Figure 2. The skin of the patient in , 30 min after the procedure. The erythema is still present, but the edema has cleared.
Figure 3. A 28 year-old, ST III female who presented widespread striae alba from pregnancy (an onset of 3 years). The top image was taken before treatment, and the bottom image was taken after 3 treatment sessions, as described in the section, Materials and Methods. Marked improvements in the texture as well as the color of the striae (from IIIb to IIa, according to the Deprez-Adatto scale) can be seen following the treatment, as compared to the baseline.
Figure 4. The 3D skin surface analysis of the 28 year-old, ST III female depicted in , before the treatment (left), and 3 months after the end of treatment (right).
Figure 5. A 22 year-old ST IIIb female who presented with widespread striae alba after weight loss. The image on the left was taken before treatment and the image on the right was taken after 3 treatment sessions, as described in the section, Materials and Methods. Marked improvements in the texture as well as the color of the striae (from IIIb to IIa, according to the Deprez-Adatto scale) can be seen following the treatment, as compared to the baseline.
Figure 6. The 3D skin surface analysis of the 22 year-old, ST III female depicted in , before the treatment (left) and 3 months after the end of treatment (right).
Figure 7. Micro-crusting of the skin, observed 6 days after the procedure in a 31 year-old female patient. This resolved without sequela within a week.
Figure 8. Evaluation of the improvement in striae 3 months after the last treatment session, by investigators and patients.
Figure 9. 3D analysis: the majority of the patients presented an improvement higher than 50%.
