Striae distensae https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_marks
Striae distensae is ’n vorm van littekens op die vel met ’n onkleurige tint. Met verloop van tyd kan hulle verminder, maar sal nie heeltemal verdwyn nie. Striae word veroorsaak deur skeur van die dermis tydens periodes van vinnige liggaamsgroei, soos tydens puberteit of swangerskap, waarin hulle gewoonlik gedurende die laaste trimester vorm. Gewoonlik kom hierdie striae op die maag, maar hulle kan ook algemeen op die borste, dye, heupe, lae rug en boude voorkom. Striae kan ook beïnvloed word deur hormonale veranderinge wat verband hou met puberteit, swangerskap of hormoonvervangingsterapie. Daar is geen bewyse dat ys wat tydens swangerskap gebruik word, rekmerke voorkom nie.

○ Behandeling
Dit gebeur wanneer jy te vinnig gewig optel. In hierdie geval kan onmiddellike gewigsverlies help om te voorkom dat die simptome vererger.

Strekmerke is 'n algemene veltoestand wat meestal by vroue van 5 tot 50 jaar voorkom. Dit kan kosmetiese bekommernisse en emosionele nood veroorsaak, veral by vroue en sekere beroepe waar voorkoms belangrik is. Behandelings sluit dikwels middels soos tretinoïen en glikolsuur in, sowel as laserterapieë (carbon dioxide, Er:YAG).
Striae distansae (SD) or stretch marks are very common, asymptomatic, skin condition frequently seen among females between 5 to 50 years of ages. It often causes cosmetic morbidity and psychological distress, particularly in women and in certain professions where physical appearances have significant importance. Commonly cited treatments include topical treatments like tretinoin, glycolic acid, ascorbic acid and various lasers including (like) carbon dioxide, Er:YAG, diode, Q-switched Nd:YAG, pulse dye and excimer laser. Other devices like radiofrequency, phototherapy and therapies like platelet rich plasma, chemical peeling, microdermabrasion, needling, carboxytherapy and galvanopuncture have also been used with variable success.

Topical treatment modalities are mainly used as an adjunctive treatment. Ablative lasers and non-ablative lasers are the most popular, among which picosecond has been tried in striae distensae treatment in the last two years. Combined treatment modalities are currently a hot spot for SD treatment, and microneedle radiofrequency and fractional CO2 laser combined with other treatments are the most common. Microneedle radiofrequency is the most commonly used and achieved therapeutic effect among the combined treatment modalities.
