Commonly known as stretch marks, striae are a cosmetically undesirable skin condition that can be a source of great distress to patients. Given that 90% of women develop striae during pregnancy, aesthetic nurses are likely to see several patients presenting with this cosmetic problem. Therefore, it is vital to know what treatment options are available to sufferers. Striae is a challenging cosmetic problem for medical aesthetic practitioners to treat, as various treatment modalities have been applied but, to date, have not been satisfactory. Although there are many products and treatments on the market claiming to remove striae, there is often a lack of clinical evidence to support these claims. This article will help to dispel the myths and provide aesthetic nurses with a further insight into the cause, management and treatment to enable their patients to be educated ethically, accordingly and appropriately.
