Tel Aviv, Israel August 18, 2009 – Pollogen's TriPollar™ technology, the most advanced 3^rd generation radio frequency solution for facial and body contouring, has been clinically proven to be effective in treating stretch marks or  striae distensae.   The peer reviewed paper entitled "Treatment of striae distensae with a TriPollar radiofrequency device: A pilot study" authored by Dr. Manuskiatti et al, has been published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment.  The abstract is available online at: http://www.informaworld.com/10.1080/09546630903085278 In the clinical study, seventeen females with stretch marks underwent six weekly treatments with the apollo™ device- Pollogen's latest aesthetic solution based on TriPollar™ technology.  Results showed that at one week after the final (sixth) treatment 38.2% and 11.8% of the patients were assessed to have 25-50% and 51-75% improvement in the appearance of their stretch marks, respectively. The long term effect of the treatment was confirmed during the 6 weeks follow up which showed that a higher percentage of the patients were rated to have improvement of their stretch marks, including 26.5% and 5.9% showing 51-75% and >75% improvement, respectively.  None of the participants were rated as having no improvement in their clinical appearance of stretch marks.  Patient satisfaction was also measured and 65% of patients reported that they were very sati sfied with the treatment, 23% were satisfied and 12% were slightly satisfied.  

Dr. Manuskiatti commented:  "Stretch marks are a skin condition that has been traditionally very challenging to treat.  The study confirms that collagen remodeling induced by RF heating is an effective mechanism for improving the surface appearance of stretch marks.  I am delighted that TriPollar™ technology delivered significant measurable results that were maintained during the long term follow-up examination and that patients reported a pain free and pleasant experience".
