The effect of bitter almond oil and massaging on striae gravidarum in primiparaous women

“…However, because of the absence of placebo in both studies, it was not possible to identify whether the difference resulted from the moisturiser or the massage. The findings of our study support those of Young and Jewell (1996) and Wierrani et al. (1992).…”

“…It was found that applying massage with almond oil reduced SG development during pregnancy. Young and Jewell (1996) also found that massaging with moisturiser reduced SG development during pregnancy. In a study conducted by Wierrani et al.…”

The Natural Centella asiatica Extract Acts as a Stretch Mark Eraser: A Biological Evaluation

“…We hypothesized that the effect of CAST at the in vitro level may be different than the effect on ex vivo skin explants depending on the physio-pathological environment and expression of complex markers. For example, a previous study using animal models showed that CAST fastens skin healing by the formation of a thick epidermal layer but with a moderate formation of granulation tissues and collagen, which corroborates our observation in humans [11,18]. In the context of pulmonary fibrosis, CAST was able to decrease fibrosis by decreasing collagen I content as well [19].…”

The Effect of Topical Application of Apple Vinegar on Striae Gravidarum: A Randomized Clinical Trial

“…In a study in Japan by Young and Jewell conducted on 80 pregnant women (41 in the intervention group and 39 in control), the intervention group received a kind of cream called trofolastin containing tocopherol collagen and elastin hydrolyzate, and control group received placebo from 12 th gestational week to childbirth. The results obtained showed 56% incidence of striae in the control group and 36% in the intervention [27]. In their study, Osman et al reported incidence of striae 48.8% of cocoa cream users and 45.1% in the control group [28,29].…”
