Microrelief surface evaluation Although this evaluation, <strong>per</strong>formed at T8, did not show a statistical significant variation of cutaneous surface microrelief regularity, a tendencial regularizing activity of the treatment on skin microrelief (+5%) was found. Self-evaluation questionnaire The overall activity of the treatment on striae was self <strong>per</strong>ceived by the participating subjects in 72% of cases. C onclusions It is common clinical ex<strong>per</strong>ience that topical treatment of stretchmarks is hardly successful especially for old lesions, which can be considered as scars caused by distension and rupture of dermal fibres. On the contrary, striae of recent onset may undergo spontaneous resolution. The combined treatment under study was able to provide a stimulus to fibroblasts in the dermis as well as an improved epidermal turnover. Instrumental measurements of striae deepness and skin elasticity, clinical evaluations and self evaluation questionnaire provided statistically significant results, especially for striae dating more than two years.
