Question

I have Lupus Doscoide for about 20 years, my scars are kind deep and also I have medium dark skin Is the Fraxel a good option or should I try some kind fillers?? Thank you

Hooman Khorasani, MD · Answer

One thing that has been stated below is that Lupus is exacerbated by UV light that the fraxel laser may exacerbate.  I would recommend trying other options that are not likely to worsen the lupus like micro-needling, subcision, or fillers to the area of question. I would suggest seeing a board certified Dermatologist who treats individuals on a regular basis and sees patients with Discoid lupus.  Wish you all the best.

For discoid lupus, Koebner can occur with lasers, however there are no reports of HA filler safety and autoimmune conditions. I would be on the safe side and stick to fillers only. Test spots can be conducted for laser if required. Dr Davin Lim.
