High-resolution ultrasound permitted the visualization of the three skin layers and the dermal lesions caused by striae. The dermal layer thicknesses with striae were thinner than those without. Therefore, ultrasound 2D imaging has shown to be a promising and financially feasible tool to be used as a noninvasive diagnostic method for evaluating therapeutic protocols used in the treatment of these dermal conditions.
