Introduction: Stretch marks are atrophic scars resulting from excessive stretching of the skin. Ozone has therapeutic properties can promote various cellular interactions including cell proliferation and renewal. Objectives: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of applying two different concentrations of ozone in the treatment of striae alba in the abdominal region. Methods: The study included 30 participants, divided into two groups: Group 5 received ozone at a concentration of 5µg/mL and Group 15, with 15µg/mL, both applied in a volume of 2 mL per point, totaling four treatment sessions. The initial assessment, before treatment, was used as a control. Morphology analysis was assessed using Antera 3D® (Miravex). The diameter of the stretch marks was measured with a digital caliper and skin elasticity was analyzed with the Cutometer®. Results: The results indicated that the group treated with 15µg/mL showed a significant reduction in the diameter of the stretch marks, with an average of 0.86 mm (+0.56), as well as a significant improvement in skin elasticity. Conclusion: Ozone therapy at a concentration of 15µg/mL proved to be effective in the treatment of abdominal striae alba, promoting an improvement in the diameter and texture of the stretch marks.
