SAY GOODBYE TO<br />
STRETCH MARKS WITH<br />
STRATAMARK, THE FIRST<br />
CLINICALLY PROVEN<br />
TOPICAL MEDICAL DEVICE<br />
FOR STRETCH MARKS.<br />
AIMÉE SURTENICH REPORTS.<br />
Stratpharma has become one of Australia’s most<br />
trusted provider of solutions for scar treatment and<br />
wound healing gel-based products – Stratamed<br />
and Strataderm – earning the trust of Australia’s leading<br />
cosmetic medical practitioners, including dermatologists,<br />
plastic surgeons, cosmetic surgeons and physicians, and<br />
ENT and facial plastic surgeons.<br />
The Swiss-based company has now added its latest<br />
innovation, Stratamark, for prevention and treatment of<br />
stretch marks to their impressive product line. Backed by<br />
clinical trials and registered with the TGA, Stratamark is the<br />
fi rst clinically proven topical medical device for stretch marks.<br />
Striae distensae, or stretch marks, are a form of<br />
abnormal scarring, in which the dermal collagen ruptures<br />

synthesised collagen, which then becomes aligned in<br />
response to local stress forces.<br />
Stretch marks are not exclusive to pregnant women. Both<br />
men and women can have stretch marks caused by growth<br />
spurts – for example, during puberty, when you have rapid<br />
weight gain or loss, or due to steroid use.<br />
Hundreds of cosmetic products are available on the<br />
market claiming to improve stretch marks with no clinical<br />
trials or assessment of effi cacy. These are typically topical<br />
therapies such as tretinoin, cocoa butter, glycolic acid,<br />
trofolastin and hydrant creams.<br />
Unlike cosmetic and moisturising products, Stratamark<br />
is a medical device, which is clinically proven with<br />
therapeutic action for the prevention and treatment of<br />
stretch marks.<br />
HOW STRATAMARK WORKS<br />
Stratamark is a topical medical device for the prevention<br />
and treatment of stretch marks. It can be used on all types<br />
of stretch marks and is safe to use anywhere on the body.<br />
Applied to the skin as a topical gel, Stratamark dries<br />
to form a thin, fl exible and protective gel sheet that is<br />
