Introduction: Stretch marks are alterations in the integumentary tissue, mainly in the elastin and collagen fibers. They are often accompanied by psychosocial and self-esteem problems. Several techniques are used, such as micro-needling, which stimulates collagen production and dermopigmentation, which camouflages stretch marks by pigmenting the area. Objective: To verify the influence of micropuncture associated with micropigmentation on female striae alba. Methods: A Striaderm protocol was performed on three women of skin phototype II to V according to Fitzpatrick, mean age 27 ± 0.3 years with gluteus alba striae. The protocol consisted of 5 sessions at biweekly intervals, four underwent micropuncture associated with hyaluronic acid and one underwent micropigmentation. The participants were evaluated by photographs and caliper. Results: Post-treatment showed an aesthetic improvement in the application regions, the integumentary tissue was more uniform, homogeneous and more youthful. With reduction in stretch marks and an average reduction of 1.8 mm compared to pretreatment (mean ± 3 mm). Conclusion: The Striaderme protocol has been shown to have a positive effect on striated skin with respect to its vascularity, vitality, pigmentation, skin relief, thickness and quantity.
