Vaginal laxity, often referred to as a "loose vagina," is a common yet still taboo issue.
Over time or following childbirth, the vaginal walls become stretched and lose their firmness, leading to what is known as vaginal laxity.
This relaxation of the vaginal tissues results in a loss of pleasure and sensitivity during sexual intercourse, often accompanied by feelings of discomfort or guilt. It can significantly impact quality of life, self-confidence, and sexual satisfaction.
There are medical solutions available for women experiencing symptoms related to vaginal relaxation, which can lead to sexual dissatisfaction, urinary discomfort, and genital discomfort. Laser vaginoplasty is, in some cases, an effective alternative to surgery.
This technique allows women to fully regain confidence in their intimate life, enhancing their self-esteem and overall well-being. The benefits are therefore both functional and psychological.
There are four main causes of vaginal laxity.
The symptoms of vaginal laxity can vary.
These symptoms can significantly impact quality of life, but medical solutions are available.
Vaginal laxity affects millions of women.
It is a multifactorial condition, often associated with symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause, such as vulvovaginal atrophy, dyspareunia (chronic pain during intercourse), vaginal dryness, and itching. This laxity can also lead to decreased sexual satisfaction, making vaginal orgasm more difficult to achieve.
Laser vaginoplasty is an effective solution, recommended in cases of :
Certain conditions contraindicate laser vaginoplasty.
Vaginal laxity can be effectively treated.
Several approaches exist to provide solutions tailored to each woman's needs.
Medical treatments include non-invasive procedures such as laser therapy and radiofrequency, which stimulate collagen production and restore tissue firmness. These treatments are valued for their safety, effectiveness, and lack of downtime.
In cases of significant vaginal laxity, surgical vaginoplasty remains the only effective treatment.
In modern medicine, reliable techniques exist to perform non-surgical vaginoplasty. These procedures tighten and tone the vaginal canal, helping patients regain a fulfilling intimate life. How does a medical vaginoplasty work? A preliminary consultation is necessary to establish a diagnosis and determine the most suitable technique.
In addition to laser treatment, specific exercises offer an excellent option to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These natural methods are non-invasive, simple, and effective for improving vaginal firmness and tone.
Vaginal laser therapy is an effective tool for performing non-surgical vaginoplasty. This medical procedure, carried out in-office, addresses vaginal laxity syndrome. Through this treatment, the vagina is toned, tightened, and reshaped, allowing the patient to regain a fulfilling intimate and sexual life.
A preliminary consultation is conducted with the patient, followed by a gynecological examination. A normal Pap smear, performed within the last year by a gynecologist, is required before the first session to screen for potential neoplasms, infections, or lesions. Additionally, a urinalysis is carried out in a laboratory a few days before the procedure. If a urinary tract infection is detected, the vaginoplasty will not be performed.
No anesthesia is required for the procedure. A single-use laser speculum with a centimeter scale is used during treatment.
The patient can resume normal daily activities immediately after the procedure, as healing occurs naturally. Mild reddish discharge is normal for 3 to 4 days. If the patient has a history of perineal herpes, preventive antiviral treatment will be prescribed.
To optimize the results of laser treatment, it is important to follow specific recommendations.
The number of sessions required depends on the severity of vaginal laxity and the patient’s goals. Generally, 2 to 3 sessions spaced two months apart are recommended for the initial treatment phase.
For 70% of patients, two sessions are sufficient. Depending on the extent of vaginal distension, annual maintenance sessions may be recommended.
In Geneva, during the first consultation, Dr. Romano will determine the appropriate number of sessions needed to effectively address the patient’s concerns.
The results of laser vaginoplasty are :
The improvement in vaginal tone is already noticeable one month after the first session, with the final result being fully appreciated three months after the session. A significant difference is observed three months after the second session.

Laser vaginoplasty is a treatment highly appreciated by patients.
Many women report a significant improvement in vaginal firmness and tone after two sessions. They particularly value the fact that the procedure is non-invasive, nearly painless, and requires no recovery time.
Reported results include increased sexual satisfaction and a reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms. Additionally, the stimulation of collagen production enhances the quality of the vaginal mucosa in the long term. It is therefore an effective and modern solution for women who wish to regain their intimate well-being.
The laser stimulates collagen production by gently heating the vaginal tissues, improving their firmness and structure.
Patients can resume their usual activities immediately after the procedure. Post-treatment recommendations will be given by your doctor.
Any healthy woman with symptoms of mild to moderate vaginal laxity who wishes to improve the firmness and tone of her vaginal tissues may be a good candidate. An initial consultation with a doctor will determine whether this procedure is appropriate.
A treatment session of laser vaginoplasty takes between 20 and 30 minutes.
The benefits include improved vaginal firmness and tone, increased sexual satisfaction, reduced symptoms of urinary incontinence and long-lasting results with no prolonged recovery time.
Non-surgical options for vaginal tightening include:
La laxité vaginale se caractérise par une perte ou une diminution de la tension des parois vaginales, souvent perçue comme un relâchement ou une diminution des sensations pendant les rapports sexuels. Le prolapsus vaginal, quant à lui, désigne la descente d’un ou plusieurs organes pelviens (comme la vessie, l’utérus ou le rectum) en raison d’un affaiblissement des structures de soutien, pouvant entraîner une protrusion au-delà de la vulve.
Oui, la laxité vaginale peut entraîner une diminution des sensations pendant les rapports sexuels, affectant ainsi la satisfaction sexuelle.
Les exercices de Kegel, qui consistent à contracter et relâcher les muscles du plancher pelvien, peuvent aider à renforcer ces muscles et améliorer la tonicité vaginale.
Si elle n’est pas traitée, la laxité vaginale peut s’aggraver avec le temps, surtout en présence de facteurs aggravants tels que des accouchements multiples, le vieillissement ou des efforts physiques intenses.
Oui, la ménopause peut contribuer à la laxité vaginale en raison de la diminution des niveaux d’œstrogènes, ce qui entraîne un amincissement et une perte d’élasticité des tissus vaginaux.
Le traitement laser vaginal est généralement bien toléré et considéré comme quasiment indolore, avec une sensation de chaleur ou d’échauffement pendant la séance.
Pour choisir un médecin à Genève pour un traitement laser vaginal, il est recommandé de consulter des spécialistes en gynécologie ou en médecine esthétique ayant une expérience avérée dans ce domaine.
