The Solasta Handheld Laser combines targeted photobiomodulation with Tracy's personal clinical review and an individualized treatment protocol developed from your symptoms, tissue changes, health history, current treatment, and goals.
From the moment you place your order, our team guides you every step of the way. We work with you to gather the information Tracy needs to complete your clinical review and develop your personalized treatment protocol, coordinate the delivery of your device, and stay in touch throughout the process so you always know what happens next.
Your assessment gives me a detailed understanding of your symptoms, treatment history, overall health, lifestyle, and treatment goals. It provides the clinical information I need to understand what may be affecting your lichen sclerosus and becomes the foundation for my clinical review and your personalized treatment protocol.
I interpret your assessment as a whole to identify what is clinically meaningful, what deserves particular attention, and which factors may influence your treatment. I then determine how photobiomodulation fits within your broader care and use that clinical interpretation to develop your personalized protocol.
Once everything is ready, we bring the final pieces together so you can begin treatment with confidence. You’ll receive my clinical review, your personalized treatment protocol, and your Solasta Handheld Laser, with clear guidance on how to begin, what to monitor, and how your treatment should progress over time.
Review and accept the terms governing the preparation, delivery, and use of your personalized treatment protocol.
Your completed protocol is delivered by email within 5–7 business days and includes my clinical review, recommendations, and detailed guidance for your treatment.
Our team coordinates the delivery of your Solasta Handheld Laser with your personalized protocol so you have everything you need to begin treatment.
Start treatment with clear instructions for how to use your laser, what to monitor, how to progress, and when to check in.
LIVING WITH LICHEN SCLEROSUS
Lichen sclerosus doesn't stay neatly contained to symptoms. It can change how you dress, move, exercise, sleep, travel, have sex, and even how much thought you have to give your body throughout an ordinary day.
THE SCIENCE OF PHOTOBIOMODULATION
Photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to influence biological activity within the tissue. Rather than heating, burning, or removing tissue, low level laser therapy light is absorbed by cells and triggers biological responses that support cellular energy, circulation, inflammatory regulation, and tissue repair.
Why precision matters
Photobiomodulation follows what researchers describe as a biphasic dose response. There is a therapeutic window in which an appropriate dose of light produces the desired biological response. Too little energy may not stimulate the tissue sufficiently to produce a meaningful effect. But more is not necessarily better. As the dose moves beyond that therapeutic window, the beneficial response can diminish and excessive dosing may become counterproductive.
This is why effective treatment is not determined by brightness or treatment time alone. Wavelength, power, dose, placement, frequency, and progression work together to determine how much energy is delivered, which tissues receive it, and how treatment is applied over time.
Wavelength is measured in nanometers (nm) and influences how light interacts with tissue and how deeply it can penetrate. Different wavelengths therefore reach different tissue depths and biological targets. The Solasta Handheld Laser combines 650 nm red light and 808 nm near-infrared light to provide treatment across different tissue depths.
Power is measured in watts (W) or milliwatts (mW) and describes the rate at which optical energy is delivered. Power affects how quickly a given amount of energy reaches the treatment area, but higher power is not inherently better. It must be considered together with treatment time, treatment area, and the intended dose.
Dose is expressed as energy in joules (J), or as radiant exposure in joules per square centimeter (J/cm²) when treatment area is considered. Power and treatment time work together to determine the total energy delivered, which means changing either variable changes the dose. An effective dose must fall within the appropriate therapeutic window rather than simply delivering as much energy as possible.
Irradiance, commonly expressed in mW/cm², describes optical power delivered over a given area. The size and location of the treatment area, contact with the tissue, and distance from the light source can all influence how much energy reaches the intended tissue and how that energy is distributed.
Treatment frequency determines how individual doses accumulate over time. The interval between sessions is part of the dosing strategy because photobiomodulation initiates biological responses that continue after the light itself has been removed. More frequent exposure is therefore not automatically more effective.
Photobiomodulation dosing is dynamic rather than necessarily fixed. Power, treatment time, frequency, treatment mode, and treated areas can be adjusted as treatment progresses according to treatment stage, tissue response, and individual tolerance rather than repeating the same exposure indefinitely.
The Solasta Handheld Laser combines 650 nm red light and 808 nm near-infrared laser energy in a powerful Class 3B Laser device designed for targeted photobiomodulation. Your personalized protocol then determines exactly how that capability is applied to your lichen sclerosus treatment.
TRACY DONEGANPRECISION ENGINEERED
Power level, pulse mode, and treatment time can each be adjusted, allowing the device settings to be matched to the dosing instructions in your personalized treatment protocol.
The 5000mAh rechargeable lithium battery provides extended operating time between charges, supporting regular treatment without the device needing to remain connected to a power source.
The treatment head combines 650 nm red and 808 nm near-infrared laser diodes, delivering two wavelengths selected for their different interactions with tissue and penetration depths.
The removable lens dome provides a fixed separation between the laser diodes and the skin, offering an alternative to direct-contact treatment when working with particularly sensitive tissue or when the protocol calls for additional spacing.
Laser device + accessories
Your Solasta Handheld Laser arrives in a protective carrying case with the accessories needed for treatment, charging, and safe use. The complete kit includes your laser, removable lens dome, protective laser glasses, USB-C charging cable, power adapter, carrying case, and quick start guide.
PRIVACY + DISCRETION
Many of our customers are dealing with intimate or deeply personal areas of their health. Your order is shipped in plain outer packaging, with no reference to lichen sclerosus, your personalized treatment protocol, or the nature of your treatment anywhere on the packaging.
REAL WOMEN. REAL EXPERIENCES.
I didn’t realize how much of my day was being spent thinking about my symptoms until they started settling down. It felt like I got some mental space back.
For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had a plan instead of a collection of random things I was trying.
My goal was simple. I wanted to stop worrying every time my husband reached for me. Intimacy had become something I associated with anxiety instead of connection.
I had become very careful about what I wore, how long I sat, and even how I exercised. I wasn’t expecting overnight changes, but I finally felt like I was moving in the right direction.
The assessment asked questions that actually reflected what I was dealing with. Tearing. Burning. Fear of progression. It felt like someone finally understood why I was looking for help.
I appreciated having specific instructions. There is so much conflicting information online that I was constantly second-guessing myself.
My biggest concern wasn’t itching. It was the feeling that things were gradually changing and I didn’t know what to do about it. Having a structured protocol gave me confidence that I was at least taking action.

LICHEN SCLEROSUS TREATMENT + RED LIGHT THERAPY
Your assessment gives me the clinical information I need to understand your symptoms, tissue health, treatment history, hormonal health, lifestyle, and treatment goals. I review that information as a whole to identify what is clinically meaningful, determine how photobiomodulation fits within your broader care, and develop a personalized treatment protocol around your individual needs.
After you place your order, our team will ask you to briefly identify your primary treatment focus so we can send you the appropriate clinical assessment. Your assessment gathers detailed information about your symptoms, tissue health, medical and treatment history, hormonal health, medications and supplements, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Once your assessment is complete, I review your information as a whole and complete my clinical evaluation. I look at the factors that may be influencing your lichen sclerosus, how your current treatment is working, and where photobiomodulation may fit within your broader care. I then use that clinical interpretation to develop your personalized treatment protocol, including your treatment areas, device settings, treatment time and frequency, progression, safety guidance, and what to monitor as you begin treatment.
You will review and accept the agreement governing your personalized protocol, and your completed protocol will be delivered digitally by email. Our team also coordinates the shipment of your Solasta Handheld Laser so you have your protocol and everything you need to begin treatment.
Your personalized treatment protocol is typically completed and delivered by email within 5–7 business days after we receive your completed assessment. Because I personally review your assessment and develop your protocol around your individual circumstances, it is not an automatically generated treatment schedule.
Yes. Photobiomodulation can be used alongside prescribed treatments such as topical corticosteroids and is intended to complement, not replace, appropriate medical care. Your current medications and treatment are considered as part of your assessment and clinical review so your protocol can be developed within the context of your existing care.
Both laser and LED devices can deliver wavelengths used for photobiomodulation, but they deliver that light very differently. LED light is divergent and spreads as it travels from the source, while laser light is coherent and highly directional, allowing light energy to be concentrated and delivered more precisely to a defined treatment area.
The Solasta Handheld Laser uses both red and near-infrared laser wavelengths with adjustable treatment settings, allowing the wavelength, power, treatment time, placement, and dose to be specifically controlled as part of your personalized protocol.
Treatment time depends on your individual protocol and the areas being treated, but sessions are typically around 5–15 minutes. Some treatments may be shorter or longer depending on your needs. Your protocol tells you exactly where to treat, how long to treat each area, how frequently to use your laser, and how your treatment should progress over time.
The Solasta Handheld Laser can be used externally on vulvar tissue when treatment areas, settings, and dose are appropriately determined. Your personalized protocol provides specific guidance for where and how to use the laser based on your individual tissue health, symptoms, and treatment history.
The included Contoured Treatment Dome can also be used for comfortable contact treatment over sensitive areas, creating additional distance between the laser diodes and the tissue while gently stretching the tissue beneath the treatment area.
Not necessarily. The Solasta Handheld Laser is designed to complement your broader lichen sclerosus care rather than automatically replace or change treatment prescribed by your clinician. I consider your current medications and treatment as part of my clinical review and develop your photobiomodulation protocol within that context. If I identify something that I believe warrants further discussion with your treating clinician, I will flag it for you.
Your purchase includes the Solasta Handheld Laser, my clinical review and your personalized lichen sclerosus treatment protocol, a contoured treatment dome, protective laser glasses, protective carrying case, USB-C charging cable, power adapter, quick start guide, and a one-year limited warranty.
