Striae gravidarum and different modalities of therapy: a review and update

Yangyiyi Yu et al.

Summary: Striae gravidarum (SG) is a type of stretch marks that occurs particularly during pregnancy. The exact cause is still unclear, but it may be related to abnormalities in elastic fibers, collagen fibrils, and other extracellular matrix components. Changes in hormone receptor expression and hormone levels have also been suggested to play a role. Laser and light therapy have shown to be the most effective treatments for SG, with significant improvement in both red and white stretch marks.

Effect of Different Pulse Durations on the Efficacy of Long-Pulsed Alexandrite-Assisted Hair Removal; A Split-Face Comparison Study

Pedram Noormohammadpour et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of hair removal using an alexandrite laser with different pulse durations. The results showed that both 3 and 10 milliseconds pulse durations had a 56% clearance rate with no significant difference in clinical efficacy or side effects. The 755 nm alexandrite laser is an effective and safe method for delaying hair regrowth, regardless of the pulse duration.
