The study will be performed a single-blind clinical trial on 40 patients with striae. In each patient, similar striae in shape and size and almost symmetrically at a surface of 5 x 5 cm2 will be selected, and one side of the patient will be treated randomly by CO2 fractional laser method and the other side will be treated by microneedling method.
Settings and conduct
Shahid Dr. Faghihi Hospital, Each side will be randomly assigned to the treatment method using the "coin flip” method. Evaluators are blind. The study is one-way blind
