Low Level Light Therapy and Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser in the Treatment of Stria Alba: A Randomised Controlled Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Low level light therapy, Fractional CO2, and 1 other intervention for Striae; Albicantes. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Stria alba (aka white or atrophic stretch marks) is a very common dermatologic condition that causes major psychological distress to those afflicted. We study the effect of low level light therapy using infra red diode 808/915 nm laser in comparison to fractional CO2 alone and combined both therapies.

Timeline
Interventions
Patients will be offered 8 sessions of photobiomodulation using HPL Pagani Diode 808/915nm LLLT 3.2W (Fimad Elettromedicali SRL®, Catanzaro, Italy) with the parameters adjusted individually according to the surface area to be treated. Optimum dose is 10 joules/cubic centimeters. The patients will take 2 to3 sessions / week.
Patients will be offered 2 sessions of fractional carbon dioxide laser on a 4 weeks interval. Topical anesthesia with pridocaine cream will be applied under occlusion for 30 - 60 minutes before the session. * Please update to the proper apparatus and parameters DEXA SmartXide DOT Fractional CO2 laser system 10600 nm (DEKA®, Florence, Italy) will be used with the following parameters adjusted individually to patients': power of 15-20 W, dwell time of 500-800 μs, spacing of 200-500 μm, and stack 2.
Combined treatment of both modalities (fractionational CO2 laser and low level light therapy). Please describe more....
