Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Thickness of the striaes: the striaes are measured in relation to its thickness, by a caliper to evaluate the in millimeters. This measurement will be performed the day before the start of the study and one day after the conclusion thereof. We expect a 50% reduction in the thickness of the striaes after 10 treatment sessions once a week.;Length of the striaes: the striaes are measured with respect to its length, by a caliper to evaluate the in millimeters. This measurement will be performed the day before the start of the study and one day after the conclusion thereof. We expect a 30% reduction of the thickness of the striaes after 10 treatment sessions once a week. | — |

| digital thermography: will apply digital thermography by infrared camera to measure the temperature and cutaneous microcirculation. To capture the thermographic images will be used an infrared camera brand Flir Systems® with digital image processing, thermal sensitivity of 0.08 ° C in spectral range 3-14 microns, suitable for application in clinical diagnosis. It will be used for data analysis, Velocity 2.3 support software with automatic calibration. The participant will be instructed not to perform physical activity, not to consume hot drinks and / or vasodilator drugs, do not smoke and do not use Cosmetic products in the skin 4 hours before the evaluation. The images will be captured in a room with ambient temperature of 23 ° C, lack of sunlight and illumination cold light lamps (fluorescent). The participant should keep the place naked assessment in the standing position with feet together, keeping relaxed, with the camera positioned 1.2 meters away from the assessed region. a period of 15 minutes exposure to the skin come into thermal equilibrium with the room temperature will subsequently be captured three images of the region will be evaluated expected. evaluations will be conducted before and after the implementation of the appeals. Expected increase in skin temperature after application of resources. | — |
