Gel Formulation Test of Gotu Kola Leaf Extract (Centella Asiatica) 15% For Handling Striae Gravidarum
Hormonal changes during pregnancy will impact the skin so that the skin of pregnant women will be vulnerable and at significant risk for
striae gravidarum in several areas of the body, including the abdomen, breasts, calves, and thighs. This will impact the quality of life, the
incidence of pelvic organ prolapses, and rupture of the perineum due to a lack of collagen in the body. Techniques for treating striae
gravidarum have been developed in several methods, including micro-needling and fractional CO2 laser, vitamin C, the use of 0.1% tretinoin
cream to the use of frequency radio microneedle (FMR). This treatment aims to help increase, maintain and stabilize collagen in the skin.
Gotu kola leaf (Centella Asiatica) is one of the plants that can stimulate the production of collagen I and moisturize the skin because it
contains compounds such as saponins, asiaticoside, Asiatic acid, madecassoside, and triterpenes. This plant is also anti-infectious, antileprosy, anti-syphilis, and skin cell revitalization. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of a gel based on Gotu kola leaf with a
concentration of 15% for treating striae gravidarum. This research method is quasi-experimental with a one-group pre-test post-test design.
The population and research sample consisted of 3 respondents; each respondent was assessed in 4 areas: the breast, abdomen, thigh, and
calf. The results show that because the significance level is more significant than α (0.130 > 0.05), there is not enough reason to accept H0,
and we also get the difference between the average value before and after being given a 15% concentration, which is 1.5, which means the
average decreases. Conclusion Gel preparations of Gotu kola leaf extract (Centella Asiatica) with a concentration of 15% are effective in
treating striae gravidarum degrees 1,2, and 3.
