The regenerative medical procedure specifically for vulvar lichen sclerosus
We are a team of female healthcare professionals specializing in vulvar pathology. Since 2004, our unwavering goal has been to offer women with vulvar lichen sclerosus the clinical approach they deserve.
Do you have vulvar lichen sclerosus and conventional treatment is not enough?
Topical corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus (VLS) and work well for many patients. However, there is a group of women for whom they are not enough: those who continue to experience severe symptoms despite treatment, those who see progressive changes in vulvar tissue, those seeking an option that acts on the tissue and not only on inflammation. Those whose quality of life has been diminished.
For these women, Liquenia® treatment is available.
Insufficient response to corticosteroids
You have been on correct treatment for months, and symptoms persist significantly.
Progressive tissue damage
VLS has caused anatomical changes that affect your quality of life.
Seeking a second opinion
You have doubts about your diagnosis or current treatment.
What is the Liquenia® Treatment?
Liquenia® Treatment is a regenerative medical protocol that uses two fractions of the patient’s own adipose tissue—nanofat and stromal vascular fraction (SVF)—to act on the mechanisms underlying tissue damage in vulvar lichen sclerosus.
It is not an aesthetic treatment adapted for VLS. It is a protocol developed specifically for this disease, with clinical evidence published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal (2025) and included in the ISAPS 2025 Clinical Practice Guideline.
It is performed in a single session, in a private hospital operating room, and under general anesthesia. It includes a protocolized 12-month follow-up.

What our patients say
I recently underwent surgery for lichen sclerosus using regenerative cells, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only on a personal level, but also with the care I received, as both the doctor herself and her team made me feel special and UNIQUE. From the very first moment, they advised me to ensure I always achieved the best results. Putting myself in their hands has been one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I am very grateful for it. I recommend her 100%.
My experience with the Nixarian clinic has been incredibly positive. From the person who answered my call to every member of the staff and, of course, Patricia, they treated me with great affection and attention from the very beginning.
I put myself in the hands of the Nixarian clinic and I can only highlight and thank them for their professionalism, starting with the human side, where I felt very well supported from the first appointment through to the operation. Even during the postoperative period, they were concerned at all times about my recovery. On the professional side, they are a five-star team.
I have no words to thank the entire Liquenia team for the care I received and, of course, the result. They are exceptional in every way, as people and as professionals; I recommend them without any doubt. You feel at home, and the confidence the whole team gives you for any procedure, regardless of the type, is essential.
From the first consultation for advice and guidance on your concerns to the entire hospital process, you receive such personal, warm, and friendly care that it makes you feel completely calm and confident in her and her team. Thank you to the entire Nixarian team for their professionalism and empathy.
