Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Versus Carboxytherapy in Treatment of Striae Distensae

Abstract: Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of fractional carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser versus carboxytherapy in treatment of striae distensae. Study Design/Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on forty female patients with striae distensae on the abdomen. Patients were selected and divided randomly into two matched groups; group I was treated with fractional CO 2 laser resurfacing and group II with carboxytherapy. Assessment and evaluation of the results w… Show more

“…El‐morsy et al conducted a study in which 40 female patients with SD on the abdomen were classified into two groups, group I was treated with fractional CO 2 laser and group II with carboxytherapy for six treatment sessions at 4 weeks intervals, they concluded that both fractional CO 2 laser and carboxytherapy are effective and safe therapeutic tools for SD with no statistically significant difference between them. However, the present study found that laser is more effective than carboxytherapy clinically and radiologically 14 …”

“…Elmorsy et al performed a progressive randomized comparative study in Egypt in 2021 on 40 women with abdominal SD, and they put fractional CO 2 laser and carboxytherapy in comparison. They compared the results with Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and observed that both modalities had the same efficacy, while PIH and pain were observed more in those treated with fractional CO 2 laser; also, bruising in the injunction site was more in those treated with carboxytherapy 14 …”

“…They compared the results with Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and observed that both modalities had the same efficacy, while PIH and pain were observed more in those treated with fractional CO 2 laser; also, bruising in the injunction site was more in those treated with carboxytherapy. 14 There is a substantial demand to achieve an effectual treatment due to the prevalence of SD and its influence on the patient's quality of life. 15 In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of microneedling compared to fractional CO 2 laser therapy on striae alba, the chronic atrophic stage of the SD, in the hope to find an ideal treatment regimen for patients with SD.…”

“…In the study by Elmorsy et al, 19 the all‐female cases, aged 20–35 years, had six sessions with 2 weeks in‐between each, with follow‐up taking place 3 months later. They evaluated each case clinically by determining the length and width of each stria, Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), and Atwal scoring system of striae.…”
