It's a treatment for VIN that was compared to other laser treatments. One of the benefits of CO2 laser surgery is that the treatment can be adjusted to each patient?s specific needs, with the possibility of calibrating the depth of the vaporised and removed tissues, according to the authors. The functional and cosmetic results were good with fewer complications for the patient than other methods.

Just in case it might help someone--

Thanks, Trish! Just wanted to this up in case anyone missed it...

I've been hearing more and more about the CO2 laser treatments. It sounds as if they are really finding some good treatment options for women with ongoing problems.

Thanks, Trish!
