VAGINAL AND INTIMATE REJUVENATION WITH LASER

What is vaginal laser treatment ?

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.

Intimate rejuvenation and vaginal rejuvenation with laser in Geneva 

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.

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 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.

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 : common in menopausal women. The laser restores the elasticity and firmness of vaginal tissues.
  • 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 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.

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 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.

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

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 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 report significant improvements in various aspects of their daily life, including enhanced well-being and intimate comfort.

Results include :

  • Improvement of vaginal dryness..
  • 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.

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.
