Lichen sclerosus (LIE-kun skluh-ROW-sus) is a rare disorder characterized by patchy, white skin that seems thinner than usual. It is most commonly found in the vaginal and anal regions.
Anyone can get lichen sclerosus but postmenopausal women are at higher risk.
The exact etiology of lichen sclerosus is unknown. An hyperactive immune system or a hormonal imbalance, on the other hand, might have a role. Additionally, past skin injury at a specific region on your skin may raise the probability of lichen sclerosus at that site.
Signs and symptoms usually affect the skin of the genital and anal areas, but may also affect the skin of the upper body, upper arms and breasts. They may include:
Two short trials published recently revealed that fractional CO 2 laser (FxCO 2) therapy appears to be a potential therapeutic method for lichen sclerosus.
These investigations shown that FxCO 2 therapy can increase protein synthesis, speed up tissue regeneration, and reduce lichenification.
For this specific reason our technical medical tead has developed a laser device that performs an adequate treatment with the exact wavelengths and power requirements.
The device presented is the Smart Medical Diode Laser 26.2Watt LASER-3.2, which is one of the most efficient and highly recommended laser machines for treating in the anogenital area.
This device has 4 wavelengths: 635nm, 810nm, 980nm and 1064nm with Maximum power up to 26.2Watt.
With such a quality, it will offer extremely adjustable, easy and friendly aesthetic operation that greatly matches with the gravity of the patient’s case.
Added to that, doctors could easily track treatment times, save protocols and view patient profiles in the laser, and even update laser software through the internet.
Being a dermatological issue in essence, this Laser’s light will be placed against the affected skin area, followingly, the photons penetrate several centimeters and get absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy producing part of a cell. This energy fuels many positive physiological responses resulting in the restoration of normal cell morphology and function.
Similarly, the LASER-3.2 considerably promotes the development of new capillaries in injured tissue, speeding up the healing process and, as a result, reducing the disease’s impacted traces.
If lichen sclerosus (LS) is left untreated, then it can result in serious skin damage. Nevertheless, for this reason, urgent treatment is a must. The effective treatment, however, necessitates a highly professional device.
Based on the qualities listed above, the diode Laser system LASER-3.2 appears to be the best device for diagnosing and treating lichen sclerosus (LS) concerns.
