What Is the Newest Lichen Sclerosus Treatment?

The newest treatment for lichen sclerosus is PETALS™ therapy. This innovative approach utilizes Plasma Enhanced Autologous Lipotransfer System (PETALS™)to address the symptoms and underlying causes of lichen sclerosus. By harnessing the body's natural healing mechanisms, PETALS™ therapy offers a minimally invasive and effective solution for patients with this challenging condition. Many patients have tried traditional treatment plans for LS and either they have never worked or have stopped working. The gold standard used to be steroid ointments, however, our new lichen sclerosus treatment uses a painless laser and is being hailed as the most successful LS treatment option. PETALS™ is a non-invasive multi focused laser treatment program.

How Does PETALS Lichen Therapy Work?

PETALS™ therapy works by using the patient's own plasma to create a regenerative solution. This solution is then injected and or applied into the affected areas, promoting tissue regeneration, reducing inflammation, and alleviating symptoms such as itching, pain, and discomfort. The regenerative properties of PETALS™ therapy make it a promising option for patients seeking long-lasting relief from lichen sclerosus

What Are the Benefits of PETALS™ LS Therapy?

PETALS™ therapy offers several benefits for patients with lichen sclerosus. These include:

• Natural Healing: By using the patient's own plasma cells, PETALS™ therapy harnesses the body's natural healing processes.
• Minimally Invasive: Compared to traditional treatments like topical steroids or surgery, PETALS™ therapy is minimally invasive, leading to fewer side effects and faster recovery.
• Targeted Treatment: PETALS™ therapy targets the root cause of lichen sclerosus, addressing tissue damage and autoimmune responses for long-lasting results.
• Symptom Relief: Patients often experience improvements in symptoms such as itching, pain, and discomfort, enhancing their overall quality of life.

What are Patients Saying about Failed Lichen Sclerosus Treatments?

Patients who have experienced failed lichen sclerosus treatments often express frustration, discomfort, and a sense of hopelessness. Here are some common sentiments expressed by patients regarding their experiences with unsuccessful treatments for lichen sclerosus:

• Disappointment: Many patients feel disappointed when traditional treatments such as topical steroids or immunosuppressive medications fail to provide significant relief. They may have had high hopes for these treatments but were ultimately let down by the lack of improvement in their symptoms.
• Physical Discomfort: Failed treatments can result in ongoing physical discomfort, including itching, pain, and soreness in the affected areas. This discomfort can be not only physically taxing but also emotionally draining, impacting daily activities and quality of life.
• Emotional Impact: Dealing with failed treatments can take a toll on patients emotionally. They may feel frustrated, anxious, or depressed about the persistent symptoms and the uncertainty of finding an effective solution. The emotional impact of lichen sclerosus can be profound, affecting relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
• Seeking Alternatives: After experiencing failed treatments, many patients actively seek alternative options and explore newer therapies such as PETALS™ therapy. They may research different treatment approaches, consult with specialists, and advocate for their own care to find a solution that works for them.
• Hope for Improvement: Despite setbacks from failed treatments, patients often maintain hope for improvement and relief. They may express optimism about trying new treatments or working with healthcare providers who specialize in lichen sclerosus to find a more effective approach to managing their condition.
