what to do in those patients who are not candidates for lichen sclerosus treatment?
There are alternatives for those women who are not candidates for Lichen Sclerosus Treatment.
what if I’m not a candidate for lichen sclerosus treatment?
I have a lot of patients who have vulvar lichen sclerosus. I have patients who are 4 years old and I have patients who are 80 years old, so the age range as you can see is very wide.
Not all patients with lichen sclerosus are candidates for Lichen Therapy, but why? Either because you have underlying pathologies that prevent you from undergoing surgery, or because you do not want to go into the operating room.
I feel responsible to offer the best treatment available according to the condition and circumstances of each of you.
For patients who are not candidates for the Liquenia Treatment, there is a safe alternative that consists in the infiltration of a specific hyaluronic acid hybrid compound in several sessions.
This procedure is performed in consultation under local anesthesia, it is painless and you will be able to return to your normal activities the next day.
The scientific studies that support it claim that:
- It improves the vitality of keratinocytes, adipocytes and fibroblasts.
- It favors the remodeling of the extracellular matrix.
- Improves elasticity.
what does this mean in your case?
Well, most of the patients noticed an improvement of all the symptoms (itching, burning, pain and pain with intercourse or dyspareunia) as well as an improvement of the quality of life.
how long did the effect last?
This benefit lasted between 6 months and a year and in the survey that the treated patients received, they underlined their satisfaction and that they would do it again.
