Study Summary

The purpose of using the 595 nm Vbeam Perfecta™ flashlamp-excited, pulsed dye laser in this study is to help improve study patients' skin disease. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) often presents with disfiguring vascular lesions which are frequently difficult to treat with the available therapeutic measures, such as photoprotection, topical steroids, and antimalarials. Laser therapy provides an alternative treatment option for CLE patients. Although there has been documented experience with laser treatment in CLE patients, no study comparing treated lesions to the natural course of the disease has been conducted.
