Many women experience symptoms such as vaginal itching, pain during intercourse, burning sensations, vaginal dryness, and urinary leakage. These issues are often underreported and underestimated because women hesitate to talk about them. Laser treatment offers a non-invasive therapeutic option for women who do not wish to undergo hormonal therapy or surgery.
What is gynecological laser treatment? The gynecological laser has been designed for women's health, to treat various gynecological conditions. This non-invasive treatment uses laser light to stimulate the regeneration of vaginal tissue, improve the quality of the vaginal mucosa, and strengthen the vaginal walls. In Geneva, the gynecological laser is used for vaginal
rejuvenation and the treatment of issues such as vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, vaginal laxity, and mild stress urinary incontinence. Vaginal laser treatment also improves comfort and sexual satisfaction by increasing hydration and elasticity of the vaginal tissues. The results are long-lasting.
The vaginal laser is an ablative laser that works by emitting beams of light that penetrate the vaginal tissues.
The principle is to ablate micro-columns of the vaginal mucosa in order to stimulate the synthesis of thicker and denser tissue. This process, known as tissue remodeling, triggers a natural healing response in the treated areas.
In addition, the heat delivered by the laser causes contraction of the vaginal wall muscles and existing collagen fibers, while stimulating the production of new collagen, thereby improving the elasticity and firmness of the vaginal tissues.
The vagina becomes more toned and the walls thicker.
Vaginal tissues are revitalized, improving patient comfort and quality of life.
Vaginal laser is a non-invasive procedure with multiple indications.
Vaginal laser is not a treatment for prolapse.
Vaginal prolapse, which occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs weaken, requires specific medical attention.
Laser treatment may be beneficial in cases of mild to moderate prolapse by strengthening and toning vaginal tissues, which can reduce discomfort and improve structural support.
It is therefore considered a comfort treatment that can slightly relieve symptoms.
However, in cases of severe prolapse, where pelvic organs are significantly displaced, vaginal laser is not a suitable solution and surgical intervention may be necessary.
It is important to consult a specialist to determine the severity of the prolapse and whether vaginal laser is appropriate.
Vaginal laser is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require downtime. However, some contraindications exist.
The treatment begins with an initial consultation. Dr. Romano will evaluate your concerns and perform a gynecological exam to assess the nature and severity of the condition(s).
Before treatment, a recent Pap smear (within the last year) and a urine culture (less than one week old) must be provided to rule out any infections or malignant lesions.
The laser session includes three steps. A single-use laser speculum is used.
First pass : the laser ablates micro-columns in the vaginal wall to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
Second pass : the tissue is heated deeply, causing a coagulation lesion that increases mucosal vascularization and improves pelvic muscle tone and support.
Third pass : the vulvar area and vaginal opening are treated using fractional ablative mode.
Each session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. The patient can return to her usual activities immediately.
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.
To ensure the effectiveness and safety of the treatment, it is essential to follow certain recommendations before and after the session.
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.
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.
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.
During the healing phase, some symptoms may appear :
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.
Vaginal laser and hyaluronic acid injections are two treatments used for the intimate area, but they differ in their effects and indications.
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.
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 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.
The beneficial effects are felt shortly after the procedure.
Patients report significant improvements in various aspects of their daily life, including enhanced well-being and intimate comfort.
Results include :
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 objective : histological sections taken one month after the laser treatment show a significant synthesis of collagen and blood vessels.
The price of a vulvar laser session is mainly related to the cost of the single-use laser speculum.

Although laser treatment for intimate rejuvenation, vaginal rejuvenation, and intimate health is often associated with gynecologists, it is not exclusively performed by them. In fact, a doctor specifically trained in the use of laser technology and experienced in this field is equally qualified to carry out this type of procedure. These specialist doctors have undergone specific training to master laser technology and are capable of effectively treating various intimate issues, such as vaginal dryness, vaginal laxity, and mild stress urinary incontinence. The expertise and experience of the doctor, regardless of their specialty, are essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment and to offer personalized care.
Patients who have undergone this procedure report being satisfied.
Many women describe a significant improvement in their comfort and quality of life, with a notable reduction in vaginal dryness, improved tissue elasticity, and decreased urinary incontinence symptoms.
Women particularly appreciate the non-invasive nature of the treatment, which allows them to quickly resume most of their usual activities.
Many patients express greater sexual satisfaction and a boost in self-confidence. While results may vary from one person to another, the overall feedback indicates that vaginal laser treatment is an effective and appreciated solution for improving intimate well-being.
Laser treatment for intimate dryness receives mostly positive reviews: patients report a significant reduction in discomfort, irritation, and an overall improvement in their sexual and intimate quality of life.
Unlike creams and certain treatments that provide only temporary results, such as hyaluronic acid injections for example, laser treatment offers long-lasting results by addressing the root cause of vaginal dryness.
Vaginal laser treatment is an appealing option for patients seeking an effective and lasting solution for vaginal dryness.
The vaginal laser offers a number of advantages.
Two to three sessions are needed for the initial treatment.
For maintenance treatment, an annual session is required.
The treatment is well tolerated. A sensation of heat or slight tingling may be experienced during the session, but most patients find the procedure comfortable.
Good candidates are women with vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, mild vaginal laxity or mild stress urinary incontinence who have no contraindications to the procedure.
The vaginal laser is a non-invasive solution for tightening the intimate parts. It stimulates collagen production.
Vaginal laser treatment helps to rejuvenate the vulva. Good hydration and hygiene are also essential.
Gynaecological laser treatment is not recommended for all women. It is mainly intended for women suffering from vaginal dryness, vaginal relaxation or pain during sexual intercourse. A medical consultation is essential to assess whether this treatment is indicated.
Vulvar plasty is a surgical procedure (carried out by a surgeon and therefore not performed by Dr Romano) designed to change the appearance or function of the labia, generally for aesthetic or comfort reasons. This procedure can reduce the size of the labia minora (labiaplasty), correct asymmetries or restore the vulva after trauma.
Oui, le traitement au laser vaginal est considéré comme sûr lorsqu’il est pratiqué par un médecin qualifié. Cette procédure non invasive stimule la production de collagène, améliore l’élasticité des tissus et restaure le confort vaginal. Toutefois, des effets secondaires légers, tels que des rougeurs, une légère sensation de chaleur ou des picotements, peuvent survenir temporairement.
Il est conseillé d’attendre 5 à 7 jours avant de reprendre les relations sexuelles. Cette précaution permet aux tissus de cicatriser correctement et prévient toute irritation. Le délai peut varier selon la sensibilité individuelle et les recommandations du médecin.
Non, ce traitement est généralement bien toléré et ne requiert pas d’anesthésie. Certaines patientes peuvent ressentir une légère sensation de chaleur ou des picotements durant la séance.
