Intimate rejuvenation and vaginal rejuvenation with laser in Geneva 

What is gynecological laser ? Gynecological laser was designed for women’s health, to treat various gynecological conditions. This non-invasive treatment uses laser light to stimulate the regeneration of vaginal tissues, improve the quality of the vaginal mucosa and strengthen the vaginal walls. Gynecological laser in Geneva is used for vaginal rejuvenation and the

treatment of conditions such as vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, vaginal laxity and mild stress urinary incontinence.
Vaginal laser also improves comfort and sexual satisfaction by increasing hydration and elasticity of vaginal tissues. The results are long-lasting.

How does the vaginal laser work ?

The vaginal laser is an ablative laser that works by emitting beams of light that penetrate the vaginal tissues.
The principle consists in the ablation of micro columns of vaginal mucosa in order to stimulate the synthesis of a thicker and denser tissue. This process, called tissue remodeling, triggers a natural healing response in the treated tissues.
In addition, the heat delivered by the laser causes the contraction of the muscles of the vaginal wall and existing collagen fibers and stimulates the production of new collagen, thus improving the elasticity and firmness of the vaginal tissues.
The vagina becomes more toned and its walls thicker.
The vaginal tissues are revitalized, comfort and quality of life for patients are improved.

What are the main indications for vaginal laser treatment ?

Vaginal laser is a non-invasive procedure with multiple indications.

  • Vaginal dryness : the laser stimulates collagen production and increases the natural hydration of the vaginal mucosa.
  • Vaginal atrophy : this condition is common in menopausal women. The laser restores the elasticity and firmness of the vaginal tissues.
  • Vaginal laxity : the laser strengthens the vaginal walls, helping to restore a sensation of firmness after childbirth or in cases of tissue laxity.
  • Mild stress urinary incontinence : the laser strengthens the vaginal and periurethral tissues.
  • Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia) : the laser improves lubrication and tissue elasticity.
  • Vaginal relaxation syndrome : often described by women as a decrease in sensation during intercourse, this condition can be improved with laser treatment. 

Vaginal laser and prolapse

The vaginal laser is not a treatment for prolapse.
Vaginal prolapse, which occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs become lax, requires particular attention.
The vaginal laser can provide a benefit in cases of mild to moderate prolapse. It contributes to the strengthening and tonicity of the vaginal tissues, which helps to alleviate symptoms and improve support of the vaginal structures. It is therefore a comfort treatment that slightly reduces the discomfort caused by this condition.
However, for severe prolapse, where the pelvic organs are significantly displaced, the vaginal laser does not represent a solution and surgical intervention may be necessary.
It is important to consult an experienced physician in order to determine the degree of prolapse and the relevance of the vaginal laser.

Contraindications

Vaginal laser is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require downtime. However, some contraindications exist.

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Ongoing genital bleeding (including menstruation).
  • Active vaginal infections or inflammations.
  • Malignant or precancerous lesions : a gynecological exam and Pap smear must be performed before the laser session.
  • Severe prolapse : laser is not the appropriate therapeutic option
  • Blood clotting disorders or anticoagulant therapy.
  • History of epilepsy.

How does a vaginal laser session take place ?

The treatment is preceded by an information consultation, during which Doctor Romano analyzes the patient’s request and performs a gynecological examination in order to assess the nature and extent of the disorder or disorders.
Before the treatment, the patient must undergo a cervico-vaginal smear performed less than one year earlier as well as a cytobacteriological urine examination carried out less than one week earlier. These examinations make it possible to rule out any cancerous lesion or infection.
The gynecological laser session takes place in three stages, a single-use laser speculum is used.
The first pass vaporizes the tissues and creates small ablation channels at the level of the vaginal wall. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin within the vaginal mucosa.
The second pass induces intense heating of the tissues and causes a coagulation lesion. This action promotes an increase in the vascularization of the vaginal mucosa and improves the tone of the pelvic muscles, thereby strengthening their support capacity.
During the third pass, the vulvar area and the vaginal opening are treated using a fractional ablative modality.
The duration of a gynecological laser session varies between 15 and 30 minutes.
The patient can resume her usual activities immediately after the treatment.

How many vaginal laser sessions are needed ?

The protocol has been designed to offer optimal results while ensuring patient comfort and safety.
As an initial treatment, it is recommended to carry out three sessions at one-month intervals. As a maintenance treatment, one session per year is to be planned.

Recommendations before and after a vaginal laser session

To ensure the effectiveness and safety of the treatment, it is essential to follow certain recommendations before and after the session.

Preparation for vaginal laser treatment

It is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse, vaginal douching, and the use of tampons at least 48 hours before the session in order to minimize the risk of irritation.
It is also necessary to report any vaginal infection or inflammation to your physician, as these conditions must be treated before proceeding with laser treatment.

Follow-up after vaginal laser

It is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse, hot baths, swimming pools, and jacuzzis for five days to allow the tissues to heal properly.
Doctor Romano will advise you on intimate products to use for two weeks and will ask you to avoid intense physical activities for a few days to minimize the risk of complications.

Gynaecological laser side effects

The treatment is well tolerated and safe, but like any medical procedure, there are certain mild and temporary side effects.
If unusual or persistent symptoms occur, it is important to inform your physician.

Recovery after vaginal laser treatment

During the healing phase, some symptoms may appear :

  • Sensation of warmth or slight burning : this feeling usually disappears within a few hours.
  • Irritation or swelling.
  • Slight bleeding.
  • Increased vaginal dryness during the healing phase, due to mucosal regeneration. 
  • Change in vaginal discharge, particularly an increase in physiological discharge.

Pain and gynaecological laser

The treatment is well tolerated, but it is normal to feel concerned about the potential pain associated with the procedure. During the session, most patients experience a sensation of warmth or tingling.
This sensation is well tolerated and short-lived.

After the session, it is common to feel mild discomfort or irritation. These symptoms last from a few hours to a few days. It is rare for patients to experience intense or prolonged pain.
It is important to follow the post-treatment instructions to minimize discomfort and speed up healing.

What is the difference between vaginal laser treatment and hyaluronic acid injections ?

Vaginal laser and hyaluronic acid injections are two treatments used for the intimate area, but they differ in their effects and indications.

  • Duration of results : the effects of hyaluronic acid injections, for vaginal dryness, are temporary. Maintenance sessions every eight months will be necessary.
    The effects of vaginal laser are more long-lasting because this method naturally stimulates collagen production in the vaginal tissues.
  • Treatment of vaginal laxity : hyaluronic acid does not treat vaginal laxity. Vaginal laser, on the other hand, firms the vaginal tissues and improves their tone.
  • Stress urinary incontinence : hyaluronic acid injections are not effective for stress urinary incontinence. Vaginal laser is particularly indicated for this issue, as it strengthens the vaginal walls and improves pelvic floor support.
  • Overall improvement of intimate health : vaginal laser is a comprehensive solution because it improves several aspects of a woman’s intimate health. Hyaluronic acid is used only to improve hydration in cases of vaginal dryness.

In summary, vaginal laser stands out for its ability to treat not only vaginal dryness, but also vaginal laxity and urinary incontinence. The results are more complete and long-lasting compared to hyaluronic acid injections.

What type of laser should be chosen for vaginal rejuvenation ?

When it comes to choosing the type of vaginal laser for vaginal and intimate rejuvenation, several options exist.
The Monnalisa laser is a CO2 laser frequently used for vaginal rejuvenation. Although it is effective, this type of laser can sometimes lead to significant and bothersome side effects such as swelling and fairly intense burning sensations.
Doctor Romano favors the use of the erbium laser, a latest-generation laser that offers considerable advantages. The erbium laser makes it possible to use more powerful settings while minimizing side effects. Thanks to its precision and its ability to target tissues in a more controlled manner, the erbium laser optimizes results and improves patient comfort.

Vaginal rejuvenation after childbirth

The vaginal rejuvenation after childbirth is a procedure that is increasingly popular among women wishing to restore vaginal tone and elasticity after the stretching of tissues caused by childbirth.
This laxity can lead to a decrease in sexual satisfaction, discomfort during daily activities, and even issues of stress urinary incontinence.
The vaginal laser stimulates collagen production and tones the vaginal tissues in a non-invasive manner.
This procedure allows patients to regain intimate comfort and quality of life. The results are long-lasting and natural.
It is an effective solution to treat the intimate consequences of childbirth without resorting to surgery.

Before / after results of vaginal laser treatment

The beneficial effects are felt shortly after the procedure.
Patients describe a significant improvement in several aspects of their daily life, an improvement in well-being and intimate comfort.
The results are :

  • Improvement of vaginal dryness.
  • Restoration of vaginal elasticity : strengthening and tightening of the vaginal tissues.
  • Reduction of stress urinary leakage.
  • Reduction of dyspareunia (pain during intercourse) : this is possible thanks to the improvement of lubrication and tissue elasticity.
  • Increase in sexual satisfaction and self-confidence.

The results are long-lasting and progressive. The beneficial effects of the treatment continue to improve during the three months following the session.
The benefits are demonstrated by histological examinations, which highlight, one month after the laser treatment, a significant increase in collagen synthesis and neo-vascularization.

This price may vary depending on the indications treated (vaginal dryness, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, laxity, intimate discomfort), the technology used (fractionated CO₂ laser, Er:YAG, etc.), as well as the number of sessions recommended to obtain a significant and long-lasting result. As a general rule, a series of three sessions spaced 6 weeks apart is recommended, followed if necessary by an annual maintenance session.
This type of treatment, although painless and non-surgical, falls under specialized medical care. The cost includes not only the performance of the session, but also the initial consultation, the gynecological evaluation, the physician’s expertise, and post-treatment follow-up. It is not a classic aesthetic treatment, but a supervised medical act, using a laser specifically designed for intimate indications.
The price of a vulvar laser session is mainly linked to the cost of the laser speculum used during the session, which is single-use.
Each protocol is established in a personalized manner, after a confidential interview and an evaluation tailored to the patient’s needs.
