Summary

Striae distensae is a common skin condition that rarely causes significant medical problems. However, it often results in a considerable amount of distress to those with the condition. Various modalities of treatments have been used for striae distensae but few have led to satisfactory results.

More recently, newer techniques such as pulsed dye laser and radiofrequency devices have been used with modest results. There is still, however, paucity of data using light therapy for the treatment of this condition. Blue light therapy using the Multiclear device has been used successfully in the treatment of acne. In contrast, there is little data to suggest its use in the management of striae distensae.

We aim to study the effects of blue light on the treatment of striae distensae and whether this can be used safely to manage this condition.
