The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine whether microgalvanic current can improve quality of life and body satisfaction in women aged 20 to 35 years with striae albae (white stretch marks). The primary research question is: Does microgalvanic current improve body satisfaction or quality of life? The secondary research question is: Does microgalvanic current lead to clinical improvement of striae albae? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Control group: device turned off, receiving microneedling only; and Intervention group: active device, receiving microneedling combined with microgalvanic current. All participants will undergo 10 weekly treatment sessions, each lasting approximately 50 minutes. Baseline and post-intervention assessments will be conducted to evaluate primary and secondary outcomes. Standardized photographs of the affected areas will be obtained to assess clinical improvement.
