Effectiveness of an Autologous Micrografting Technology for Treating Stretch Marks

The study assessed the effectiveness of autologous micrografting technology, specifically Rigenera Technology, in treating stretch marks in 14 patients over 9 months. The procedure involved microneedling and injecting micrografts from the patient's tissue into stretch marks. Photographic assessments and in vitro tests indicated changes in collagen and elastin gene expression, suggesting skin remodeling improvements. The study concluded that this minimally invasive technique could be promising for treating stretch marks, with significant improvements in appearance and texture, high patient satisfaction, and no severe adverse effects. However, the small sample size calls for further research with larger groups to confirm these findings and evaluate long-term effects.
