LICHEN SCLEROSUS

Lichen Sclerosus (LS), is a skin condition that causes major discomfort. LS has a preference for the skin/tissues of the valva and anal region. Although it can occur in anyone, post-menopausal females are the highest at risk. There are alternative treatments being studied to improve the condition in ways the standard treatment does not. Clinical studies and trials have shown evidence that PRP, Radio Frequency are effective treatments. There is still a lack of medical understanding about the causes of LS.

How it works?

VSPOT medical providers offer treatments for a variety of female conditions that are minimally invasive with little to no downtime. Lichen sclerosis treatments are tailored to each case following consultation and thorough assessment of symptoms. Treatment methods are combined to maximize results using localized PRP injections with Radio Frequency. With patience and monitoring, clients regain sexual function and see a decrease in symptoms over the course of treatment. Scheduling a consultation with a VSPOT medical provider is complementary to evaluate their symptoms and treatment options.

Why we love it?

Radio Frequency: Radio Frequency is reported to be beneficial in all cases of LS, though some patients received better results than others. Radio Frequency treatments promote healing by stimulating fibroblast (A healing factor of the skin) while the standard treatment does not have regenerative properties. It is a safe procedure with minimal or no discomfort that provides great relief of symptoms. It repairs the structures of the skin to regain sexual function and helps to remove painful lesions on the skin. Unlike steroids, when radiofrequency is performed properly, there are no adverse reactions or side effects to report. The Ultra femme 360 stimulates the skin at a therapeutic temperature for optimal treatment and safety. Treatments are modified depending on the severity of the patient’s symptoms.

PRP: PRP is platelet-rich plasma sourced from your own blood and is composed of your body’s own regenerating cells. It was traditionally used in sports injuries to repair torn ligaments, tendons, or tissue after severe injuries and is now adapted to treat many conditions as it is your own healing mechanism that can be localized to induce restoration of any part of the body. It is a very promising treatment for LS. It promotes skin cell regeneration of the affected areas to improve the overall health of the skin without any side effects. Case studies have shown it can restore sexual function and elasticity of the skin. In one case study, PRP alone restored a patient’s vulvar skin to ideal function and removed all visible signs or lichen lesions. PRP requires monthly sessions and follow-up to individualize the therapy depending on the patient.

FAQ

This condition occurs primarily in girls who haven't started menstruating and in postmenopausal women. Lichen sclerosus is thought to be related to genetics, immune disorders, trauma, or infection. It can cause discomfort, itching, and easy bruising or tearing of the skin.

PR is composed from your own blood. Platelets are a concentration of one type of cell which circulate through the blood and are critical to blood clotting and healing. After the blood is drawn it is put into a centrifuge that separates the blood into many components--simply put it's a concentration of the powerful healing and growth factors.

It is injected under the skin in the affected areas of lichenoid or atrophic changes around the vulvar vestibule, perineum, anterior and posterior fourchette, and clitoral hood. PRP essentially develops new blood vessels that nourish these atrophic areas.

Laser energy is known to both increase and improve the production of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis (the generative layer of the skin) leading to enhanced stretchability and pliability of vulvar vestibular epithelium (the skin of the opening areas of a woman's vulva and vagina).

Results vary among recipients. Factors such as age, medical conditions, and hormonal irregularities can determine the results.
