Methods: Twenty female Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) patients suffering from corticosteroid induced striae in different body parts, were included in this study. Patients were subjected to full history taking, complete clinical examination, and assessment of disease activity using systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) score. Each patient received treatment in the form of six weekly successive cessions using electroporation device Mesostyle and photos were obtained after each cession. Results: We found marked improvement of striae appearance with noticeable patients’ satisfaction without any adverse effects.
