Vaginal Rejuvenation with CO₂ Laser – Q&A

Q: What is vaginal rejuvenation with CO₂ laser?
A: It’s a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that uses fractional CO₂ laser technology to stimulate collagen production and restore the vaginal tissue’s tone, elasticity, and moisture.

Q: What concerns does this treatment address?
A: It can help with:

• Vaginal dryness

• Mild urinary incontinence

• Vaginal laxity (looseness)

• Pain during intercourse

• Postmenopausal symptoms

• Changes after childbirth

Q: How does the CO₂ laser work?
A: The laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the vaginal lining, triggering natural collagen and elastin production, which helps thicken, tighten, and rejuvenate the tissue.

Q: Is the procedure painful?
A: Most patients experience minimal to no discomfort. A topical anesthetic may be applied, and the treatment is generally well-tolerated.

Q: How long does the treatment take?
A: The procedure usually takes 10–15 minutes and is performed in-office with no downtime.

Q: How many sessions are needed?
A: Typically, a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended, followed by annual maintenance.

Q: What is the recovery like?
A: Patients can resume normal activities immediately, but should avoid intercourse, tampon use, or hot baths for about 3–5 days.

Q: When will I see results?
A: Many patients notice improvements after the first session, with full results developing over a few months.

Q: Is this treatment safe?
A: Yes, when performed by trained professionals. The CO₂ laser has been extensively studied and is FDA-cleared for gynecologic use.

Q: Who is a good candidate?
A: Women experiencing age- or childbirth-related changes, vaginal discomfort, or urinary leakage. A consultation is needed to determine suitability.
