Abstract

Stretch marks are aesthetic dysfunctions caused by the structural disruption of connective tissue that affects the quality of life of a large part of the population, with a higher prevalence among women. It is directly related to low self-esteem and psychosocial consequences, being caused by several factors, such as: endocrine, genetic and mechanical. Stretch marks arise as a result of loss of elasticity and synthesis of fibroblasts and, consequently, the breakdown of collagen, elastin and fibrillin fibers. According to their color and skin phototype, they can be classified into three patterns: white (alba), red (reddish) and bluish, being red in the initial state and white in the late stage. Objective: to verify the action and progress of microneedling as a treatment for the relief of skin stretch marks, to report cases already researched and selected satisfactory results. Method: it is a narrative bibliographic review with research of studies published between 2004 to 2020. Results: it was observed that microneedling is a technique widely used in the treatment to relieve stretch marks, as it is a system integrated microneedle that applied to the skin causes hyperemia and bleeding, thus inducing an inflammatory process with tissue renewal, by stimulating the production of fibroblasts and collagen. Conclusion: it was found that this technique has an interesting cost benefit and satisfactory results, since it stimulates the production of collagen without promoting damage to the skin, improving thickness / width and color, in addition to healing in a short period with relative risks of complications and effects.
