Vulvar and Vaginal Laser

(Non-ablative Laser Erbium: YAG 2940nm)

The vulvar and vaginal laser is an innovative treatment for women at all ages.

Throughout the woman’s life the vagina will suffer changes in the mucosa. With entry into menopause, there is a decrease in estrogen production, leading to mucosal atrophy that leads to decreased vaginal lubrication, burning sensation, itching and consequent pain during sexual intercourse. Also in cases of premature and postpartum ovary failure these complaints may arise.

The initial approach has been vaginal treatment with estrogens, but in some cases with little or no efficacy, and in some situations hormonal treatment is contraindicated.

With the laser the results are more immediate because it promotes stimulation of collagen and elastin production leading to a renewal of the vagina tissue. This becomes thicker and more elastic, allowing a recovery of sensory capacity and decreased pain during sexual intercourse.

In general, the laser promotes the functional strengthening of the connective tissue of the vagina, improving the support of the pelvic floor and decreasing the symptoms of dysfunction.

All women regardless of age can carry out treatment.
