The Combination Therapy of Fractional Laser and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Compared With Nanofat Grafting and Platelet-Rich Plasma Synergy in Treating Striae Gravidarum.

Nowadays, multiple treatment modalities have been applied clinically to treat striae gravidarum, such as laser therapy, microdermabrasion, platelet-rich plasma injection(PRP), etc. To some extent, these treatments can improve striae gravidarum. In this clinical trial, the investigators are going to treat striae gravidarum by using two different kinds of combination therapies. One is fractional laser and PRP injection synergy, and the other one is treated by nanofat grafting with PRP injection.

The investigators will pick out two areas of most severe striae gravidarum on a participant's abdomen. One of the areas will be treated by fractional laser once every three months for 2 times combined with PRP injection once a month for 6 times. Another area will be treated by nanofat grafting once every three months for 2 times and PRP therapy once a month for 6 times. The participants were asked to come back 1、3、6、9 months after treatment for further follow-up. Before and after the treatment, the striae gravidarum will be assessed subjectively by satisfaction assessment, dermatoscope and ultrasound, and objectively by immunohistochemical analysis.

One of the striae gravidarum areas will be treated by fractional laser once every three months for 2 times combined with PRP injection once a month for 6 times.

Another area will be treated by nanofat grafting once every three months for 2 times and PRP therapy once a month for 6 times.

The tissue extracted will be taken for immunohistochemical analysis to observe the change of epidermal and dermal thickness, and the distribution and amount of elastic fiber and collagen fiber,etc.

The striae gravidarum will be assessed by dermatoscope to observe the pigmentation condition of striae after the application of laser or nanofat grafting with PRP injection.

The striae gravidarum will be assessed by ultrasound in order to observe the change of dermal thickness of striae after the application of laser or nanofat grafting with PRP injection.

The participants, investigators and physicians will fill in a satisfaction assessment about any complication during the treatments.
