an emerging, minimally invasive, ablative treatment for lichen sclerosis
Uses laser energy to remove damaged tissue and stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing symptoms like itching, pain, and burning.
It serves as a, often, effective option for patients seeking alternatives to or enhancements for traditional steroid creams, with some reports suggesting significant symptom improvement.
A chronic, inflammatory skin condition that causes thin, white, and itchy patches, most commonly in the genital and anal areas.
Symptoms are, intense itching (pruritus), skin pain, burning, bruising, white or thin, crinkled skin, and scarring that can alter genital anatomy.
ProFractional is an ablative erbium YAG laser that creates micro-beams of energy to target deep into the skin, restructuring tissue while leaving surrounding tissue intact.
Procedures are typically done in-office, often requiring 1–4 sessions, sometimes spaced 3–6 weeks apart. A local anesthetic cream is typically applied for comfort.
