Abstract

Dermatologists were the pioneers in the development of laser technology and have the most experience using these lasers to treat the external genitalia for many cutaneous disorders. Dermatologists who have experience and expertise using lasers and devices, are already using them to treat the external genitalia, and are comfortable performing female gynecologic exams may want to explore the wide range of options that are available to treat the functional and aesthetic needs of the female population. Dermatologists should work with obstetricians and gynecologists to ensure that patients are proper candidates for the procedures.
