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 involves the removal of micro-columns of vaginal mucosa to stimulate the synthesis of thicker, denser tissue. This process, called tissue remodelling, provokes a natural healing response in the treated tissue.
En plus, la chaleur délivrée par le laser cause la contraction des muscles de la paroi vaginale et des fibres de collagène existantes et stimule la production de nouveau collagène, améliorant ainsi l’élasticité et la fermeté des tissus vaginaux.
The vagina becomes more toned and its walls thicker.
Les tissus vaginaux sont revitalisés, le confort et la qualité de vie des patientes sont améliorés.

What are the main indications for vaginal laser treatment ?

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

  • Vaginal dryness : le laser stimule la production de collagène et à augmente l’hydratation naturelle de la muqueuse vaginale.
  • Atrophie vaginale : cette condition est fréquente chez les femmes ménopausées. Le laser restaure l’élasticité et la fermeté des tissus vaginaux.
  • Vaginal laxity : the laser strengthens the vaginal walls, helping to restore firmness after childbirth or in cases of tissue laxity.
  • Urinary incontinence : the laser reinforces 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

Vaginal laser is not a treatment for prolapse.
Vaginal prolapse, which occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs relax, requires special attention.
Le laser vaginal peut apporter un bénéfice dans les cas de prolapsus légers à modérés. Il contribue au renforcement et à la tonicité des tissus vaginaux, ce qui permet d’atténuer les symptômes et d’améliorer le soutien des structures vaginales. Il s’agit donc d’un traitement de confort qui réduit légèrement la gêne causée par cette condition.
However, for severe prolapse, where the pelvic organs are significantly displaced, vaginal laser is not a solution and surgery may be required.
Il est important de consulter un médecin expérimenté afin de déterminer le degré de prolapsus et l’intérêt du laser vaginal.

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 ?

Le traitement est précédé d’une consultation d’information, au cours de laquelle le docteur Romano analyse la demande de la patiente et réalise un examen gynécologique afin d’évaluer la nature et l’importance du ou des troubles.
Avant le traitement, la patiente doit effectuer un frottis cervico-vaginal datant de moins d’un an ainsi qu’un examen cytobactériologique des urines datant de moins d’une semaine. Ces examens permettent d’écarter toute lésion cancéreuse ou infection.
La séance de laser gynécologique se déroule en trois étapes, un spéculum laser à usage unique est utilisé.
Le premier passage vaporise les tissus et crée des petits canaux d’ablation au niveau de la paroi vaginale. Ce processus stimule la production de collagène et d’élastine au sein de la muqueuse vaginale.
Le deuxième passage induit un échauffement intense des tissus et provoque une lésion de coagulation. Cette action favorise l’augmentation de la vascularisation de la muqueuse vaginale et améliore le tonus des muscles pelviens, ce qui renforce leur capacité de soutien.
Lors du troisième passage, la zone vulvaire et l’orifice vaginal sont traités selon une modalité ablative fractionnée.
La durée d’une séance de laser gynécologique varie entre 15 et 30 minutes.
La patiente peut reprendre ses activités habituelles immédiatement après le traitement.

How many vaginal laser sessions are needed ?

The treatment protocol is designed to offer optimal results while ensuring patient comfort and safety.
An initial treatment includes three sessions spaced one month apart. For maintenance, one session per year is recommended.

Recommendations before and after a vaginal laser session

Pour garantir l’efficacité et la sécurité du traitement, il est essentiel de suivre certaines recommandations avant et après la séance.

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 to minimize the risk of irritation.
You should also inform your doctor of any vaginal infection or inflammation, as these conditions must be treated before proceeding with the 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 some mild and temporary side effects. If any unusual or persistent symptoms occur, it is important to inform your doctor.

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 prefers the use of the Erbium laser, a new-generation laser that offers considerable advantages. The Erbium laser allows the use of more powerful settings while minimizing side effects. Thanks to its precision and its ability to target tissues more accurately, the Erbium laser optimizes results and improves patient comfort.

Vaginal rejuvenation after childbirth

Vaginal rejuvenation after childbirth is an increasingly popular procedure among women wishing to restore vaginal tone and elasticity after tissue stretching caused by childbirth.
This laxity can lead to decreased sexual satisfaction, discomfort during daily activities, and even stress urinary incontinence.
Vaginal laser stimulates collagen production and tones vaginal tissues in a non-invasive way.
This procedure allows patients to regain their intimate comfort and quality of life. The results are long-lasting and natural.
It is an effective solution for treating 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 lives, as well as improved well-being and intimate comfort.
Results include :

  • Amélioration de la sécheresse vaginale.
  • Restoration of vaginal elasticity : strengthening and tightening of vaginal tissues.
  • Reduction of stress urinary leakage.
  • Decrease in dyspareunia (pain during intercourse) : thanks to improved lubrication and tissue elasticity.
  • Increased sexual satisfaction and self-confidence.

Les résultats sont durables et progressifs. Les effets bénéfiques du traitement continuent à s’améliorer dans les trois mois suivant la séance.
Les bénéfices sont objectivés par des examens histologiques, qui mettent en évidence, un mois après le traitement laser, une augmentation significative de la synthèse de collagène et de la néo-vascularisation.

This price may vary depending on the indications being treated (vaginal dryness, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, laxity, intimate discomfort), the technology used (fractional CO₂ laser, Er:YAG, etc.), and the number of sessions recommended to achieve a significant and lasting result. Typically, a series of three sessions spaced six weeks apart is recommended, followed by an optional annual maintenance session.
