Vulvar and Vaginal Laser Procedures
Vaginal and vulvar laser treatments offer a non-surgical solution for women experiencing dryness, irritation, laxity, or discomfort related to aging, hormone changes, or childbirth. These innovative treatments use controlled energy to rejuvenate tissue, improve elasticity, and restore comfort without downtime or invasive surgery.
At Legacy For Women in Henderson, NV, our OBGYN team provides safe, effective laser therapy designed to enhance vaginal health and confidence.
What Are Vulvar and Vaginal Laser Procedures?
Laser treatments use gentle, targeted energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production within the vaginal and vulvar tissues. This process helps improve hydration, tone, and circulation, supporting natural rejuvenation and long-term comfort.
Benefits of laser energy include:
- Stimulating collagen and elastin production
- Increasing tissue hydration and circulation
- Restoring tone and flexibility
- Supporting natural moisture balance
The procedure is performed in-office, requires little to no anesthesia, and typically takes under 30 minutes per session.
Who Can Benefit from Laser Vaginal Therapy?
Vaginal and vulvar laser therapy is ideal for women who want to restore comfort and function without surgery or hormone-based treatments.
It may help improve:
- Vaginal dryness or itching
- Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Mild urinary leakage
- Vaginal laxity after childbirth
- Vulvar sensitivity or irritation
- Postmenopausal changes in tissue tone
Laser therapy is often a good choice for women who cannot or prefer not to use hormone replacement therapy.
What to Expect During Treatment
Laser vaginal therapy is quick, gentle, and typically well tolerated.
During your treatment:
- A small handheld laser device is inserted into the vaginal canal or directed externally at the vulvar area.
- Controlled pulses of energy are applied to stimulate tissue regeneration.
- Most patients feel warmth or light vibration with minimal discomfort.
- The session lasts 15 to 30 minutes.
You can resume regular daily activities immediately after treatment. However, your provider may recommend avoiding sexual intercourse or tampon use for several days to allow tissue recovery.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most women benefit from a series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by annual maintenance treatments. While many notice improvement after the first session, optimal results develop gradually as collagen rebuilding continues.
Is Laser Therapy Safe?
Yes. Vaginal and vulvar laser procedures are FDA-cleared for gynecologic use and are performed by trained medical professionals. Side effects are minimal and may include temporary redness, swelling, or mild sensitivity.
Laser treatment may not be suitable if you:
- Are pregnant
- Have an active vaginal or urinary infection
- Have a history of abnormal Pap results or gynecologic cancer without physician clearance
Your provider will review your medical history, answer questions, and determine whether laser therapy is appropriate for your needs.
