<br/><br/> Pulsed dye laser (PDL) and intense pulsed light (IPL) have been used to treat striae distensae (SD). Thirty patients with age ranging from 14 - 42 years were included in this study. Twenty patients were treated on one side of their bodies with PDL and on the other side with IPL while seven patients were treated on both sides by IPL and three patients were treated on both sides by PDL for five sessions with four weeks interval between sessions. Skin biopsies were stained with H and E, masson trichrome, orcein, alcian blue and anti - collagen I Ü1
