Sponsor's own description

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatment for Lichen Planus Pigmentosus (LPP). LPP is a chronic pigmentary disorder typically involving the forehead, lateral cheeks, and occasionally other sun-exposed areas such as the forearms. Clinically, LPP appears as a reticulated brown to black macules and patches. Previously studied effective treatments of LPP include topical tacrolimus and corticosteroids. LPP is often recalcitrant to therapy, with chronic maintenance treatment needed to prevent repigmentation. There are few reports of laser modalities being used to treat LPP, with Nd:YAG being the only published laser modality to be attempted. Although topical therapies are relatively safe, there is a lack of satisfactory treatment options for this patient population. Fractional CO2 laser has been widely used for photoaging due to its effectiveness and high safety profile. Clinically evident improvement can be appreciated even after only one session of treatment. Ablative fractional laser resurfacing is both safe and effective for the treatment of the vascular, pigmentary and textural components of skin disorders. No data exist regarding the use of fractional CO2 laser for management of LPP. This study hopes to fulfill this purpose. The study subjects' body will be divided into two equal halves along sagittal midline section with one side receiving treatment with fractional CO2 laser (experimental) and the other left untreated (control)
