@ladonnai I started radio frequency on lips to give them more stability. I had lost all feeling and sagging. I have had 4 treatments and they are doing better. I don’t have open sores. This is totally outside the box. I am on 400 mg hydroxy and it has been 9 months. Some doctors say it can take a year. I don’t feel it is ever in remission. But thanks for your insight. Thanks for sharing. I am basically doing the same thing

@kjoeme1978 I have to say I've never heard of radiofrequency used on OLP lips! OLP is something that I was told was not curable, just maintainable....those were disheartening words.
One thing else that I have to watch is sun exposure...find the widest brim hat (like a life guard's hat!) and put a zinc based ointment like Elta MD UV lip balm, it keeps the sorest spots on my lips from getting more inflammed. It goes on white due to the zinc but the color fades as it warms on my lips.
Lots to learn about OLP, keep searching for ideas that might help for you.
