Effect of rescue fractional microablative CO2 laser on symptoms and sexual dysfunction in women affected by vulvar lichen sclerosus resistant to long-term use of topic corticosteroid: a prospective longitudinal study

Abstract

Fractional microablative CO2 laser treatment is safe and might represent an effective rescue procedure for patients suffering from lichen sclerosus who fail to respond to long-term ultra-potent topical corticosteroid treatment. These preliminary findings require further study with adequately powered randomized controlled trials.
