New Hope for Treating Lichen Sclerosus: Stem Cell Therapy

What is Lichen Sclerosus - Revolutionary advancements in stem cell therapy are transforming the practice of medicine and providing an array of new, safe and effective treatment plans for many disease conditions, such as Lichen Sclerosus. This new field of medication has been termed Regenerative Medicine; since it utilizes the natural regenerative and reparative powers of stem cells to target damaged tissues and restore these to health. During the last decade, We have innovated The Stem Cell Lift®, an operation that harnesses the effectiveness of your own personal body’s stem cells to be used in reconstructive and cosmetic purposes. Today, we have seen remarkable results using the Stem Cell Lift® technique of reconstruction of post-cancer scarred defects, for painful or damaged joints, ligaments and muscles, for wound healing and then for Lichen Sclerosus.

What's Lichen Sclerosus?

Lichen Sclerosus can be a chronic inflammatory disorder of your skin usually relating to the genital and anal areas. The condition is most prevalent in ladies, especially post-menopausal women, accompanied by men, and barely children. Along with unbearable itching similar to a chronic candidiasis, the illness may cause scarring of the vaginal tissues and thus, narrows the vagina, which ends up in painful intercourse. A lot of women lose their wish to have intercourse for anxiety about the pain. Less commonly, extra-genital Lichen Sclerosus appears around the torso, breasts, and upper arms. Lichens Sclerosus is not contagious.

Many doctors do not know Lichen Sclerosus and are not in a position to diagnose the disease correctly. Many people are forced to see numerous doctors before an accurate diagnosis is manufactured. Lichen Sclerosus, just like a number of other chronic skin diseases, has had limited effective procedures. Generally, doctors suggest a strong corticosticosteroid ointment or cream, to supply temporary relief of the itching and discomfort.

The Stem Cell Lift® Procedure

The Stem Cell Lift® can be a noninvasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. To ease anxiety and for patient comfort, oral sedative and/or intramuscular injections are generally administered. The procedure is done in three stages. First, the location from which you want fat deposits being extracted from is marked and tumescent local anesthesia is slowly injected utilizing a blunt instrument. After having a short wait to allow for the anesthetic medication to be effective, body fat is slowly removed under local anesthesia utilizing a mini-liposuction method through specially designed instruments. Second, the obtained fat is processed to target the stem cells and increase their ratio towards the fat cells being ready for injection. Third, local anesthesia is given and also the super-charged adult stem cells out of your own body's fat along with some fat cells are injected. A bandage is placed around the area the location where the fat was taken. The entire procedure is performed all within the quick in about four hours. Patients are in a position to walk and resume normal activities quickly after the Stem Cell Lift® procedure.
