Cutaneous lupus erythematosus-treatment with pulsed dye laser.
Because of its vascular selectivity, the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser (585 nm) is efficacious in the treatment of vascular lesions and is successfully used for the treatment of port-wine stains and haemangiomas in children. Based on the encouraging results with these cutaneous vascular disorders, the cutaneous lesions of patients with lupus erythematosus (LE) have now also been treated wit...
متن کاملCommentary: Treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus using the pulsed dye laser.
The exact reason for the effectiveness of pulsed light at a wavelength of 585–595 nm of PDL in the treatment of CLE lesions is unclear. With laser therapy, the applied light is monochromatic, and there is strong evidence that the induced pathogenic mechanisms are different from those caused by irradiation over an ultraviolet spectrum. The suggested working mechanism of PDL (selective phototherm...
متن کاملComparison of 585 nm with 595 nm pulsed dye laser in the treatment of warts
Background and aim : The clinical management of verrucae vulgaris is often challenging and no treatment is always effective. Early studies have suggested that pulsed-dye laser (PDL) may be highly effective in the treatment of verrucae through obliteration of dilated vessels in papillary dermis. The objective of this study was to compare safety and efficacy of 585 nm with 595 nm PDL in the...
متن کاملDiscoid lupus erythematosus of the eyelids.
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a chronic skin disease that may affect the eyelids. Unless suspected, these lid lesions may resemble chronic blepharitis and persist for years. We present the clinicopathologic features of DLE from the lids of seven patients, electron microscopic features of one case, and a review of 31 previously reported cases.
متن کاملThe successful treatment of lupus pernio with the flashlamp pulsed dye laser.
Lupus pernio of the nose is the most characteristic cutaneous lesion of sarcoidosis. It is cosmetically disfiguring and can be the cause of significant morbidity. In particular, the affected skin is often red or purple due to increased vasculature. It is particularly resistant to both surgical and medical therapy. We describe a patient with lupus pernio affecting her nose, which showed a dramat...
