Non-Ablative Laser for Lichen Sclerosus
The Experimental Treatment Series Introduction In our last post, I discussed ablative laser therapy for lichen sclerosus. This looked at CO2 fractional lasers like the Mona Lisa laser at the ablative Yag laser. Today, I want to look at non-ablative laser therapy for lichen sclerosus. The truth is there are several different lasers on the market, each functioning a little differently and penetrating different skin depths. As a refresher, laser therapy, be it ablative or non-ablative, is considered an experimental treatment. Experimental treatments show promise in managing a condition but have yet to be thoroughly evaluated for efficacy, safety, and acceptability. We know our community has a lot of questions about laser therapy. I wouldn’t be doing our community justice if I looked at just one type of laser. If you read our last post on ablative laser therapy, you may be wondering, “OK, but what about non-ablative laser therapy…
