## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) with dye and argon laser has been evaluated in a number of articles in recent years. The improvement of telangiectasias and chronic erythema of the cutaneous lesions was based on the selective photothermo

β¦ Synopsis
Lupus pernio, a form of cutaneous sarcoidosis usually affecting the face, is often disfiguring and resistant to therapies, both medical and surgical. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of laser therapy for this condition. We describe a case of nasal lupus pernio successfully managed with the flashlamp pulsed dye laser.

## Background and Objective: We report two cases of hemangiomas in twins born at a gestational age of 30 weeks who were treated with a flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser (FPDL) at 40 days postpartem. These were the youngest patients to our knowledge to be treated with FPDL. Study Design/Patients an
Background and Objective: Progressive ascending telangiectasia (PAT) is a distinct entity with telangiectatic superficial vessels on lower extremities as its main clinical feature. A relationship with occult infections and response to antibiotic and antifungal drugs have been described, although not
Background and Objective: The objective of this study was to establish the 585nm flashlamp-pulsed tunable dye laser (PTDL) as a potentially effective modality in the treatment of plantar verrucae. Furthermore, this study attempted to identify if certain regions of the plantar surface yielded a diffe
## Background and objective: Sebaceous gland hyperplasia may be treated by cryotherapy, cauterization, topical chemicals, or excision. the major disadvantage of these therapeutic strategies is a considerable risk of postoperative scarring or dyspigmentation. the pulsed dye laser may be an effective
## Abstract ## Background and Objective: Portwine stain (PWS) response to flashlamp pumped pulsed dye laser (FPPDL) treatment is variable and unpredictable. Our aim was to develop a model to predict treatment outcome and the required number of treatments. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods: W
