Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I have wide stretch marks that are about 2 cm in width, and I haven't seen any significant results after using dermapen. Which treatment would be more effective for me: curettage or cryosurgery?

 

Answered by Dr. Ibrahim Nafee

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Based on the stretch marks (striae) you've described, fractional laser treatment would likely be more effective than either curettage or cryosurgery. Fractional laser works by stimulating collagen production in the skin, which can help improve the appearance of stretch marks over time. It’s a less invasive and often more successful approach than other methods. I would recommend consulting with a dermatologist to explore this option further and determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

 

Thanks
