Multiple therapeutic options exist for the management of SD, with treatment selection influenced by striae stage and Fitzpatrick skin type. Combination therapies demonstrate the most promising results, particularly for treatment-resistant striae alba and patients with darker skin tones. Standardization of outcome measures and further high-quality comparative studies are needed to optimize individualized treatment strategies.

Abstract

Multiple therapeutic options exist for the management of SD, with treatment selection influenced by striae stage and Fitzpatrick skin type. Combination therapies demonstrate the most promising results, particularly for treatment-resistant striae alba and patients with darker skin tones. Standardization of outcome measures and further high-quality comparative studies are needed to optimize individualized treatment strategies.
