Efficacy of Non-ablative Laser Therapy for Lichen Sclerosus: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
CONCLUSION: Laser therapy for LS caused minimal patient discomfort during the treatment, with no adverse effects, and demonstrated better efficacy than in the control group, with significant improvement lasting up to 6 months. Laser therapy is a promising option for patients not responding to topical corticosteroid therapy or patients wishing to reduce long-term corticosteroid maintenance use.
