Stretch marks protocol

ETCA can be applied as a peel to the papillary dermis, when a sufficient number of coats are gradually applied to produce even pink-white frosting and epidermal sliding . The protocol developed to treat stretch marks has sometimes also been used successfully for facial rejuvenation. 

Post-acne pigmentation on the back does not respond readily to ETCA alone. The protocol developed for treating stretch marks produces excellent results, however - not only on the residual pigmentation but also on the depth of the acne scars. 

In the deepest protocol, after abrasion and application of the ETCA solution, the post-peel mask cream is applied under occlusion. This is the protocol used to treat stretch marks and surgical scars, when the skin needs tightening. 

After abrasion, a topical anesthetic is applied as described in the protocol for stretch marks, followed by ETCA solution pinpoint or cloudy white frosting appears, especially on the keratoses that take the brunt of the abrasion. The post-peel cream is applied and left to act until the next day. This procedure is repeated four or five times, at 2-week intervals. 

Erythema 24 hours after treatment of stretch marks abrasion-occlusion protocol.
