Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
If you’re experiencing dryness, discomfort, or changes in intimacy, laser vaginal rejuvenation offers a gentle, non-surgical way to restore comfort, confidence, and vaginal health.
What is Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation?
As women age, estrogen levels approach zero. The vagina and vulva are especially affected since they are very estrogen-dependent tissues. Lack of vaginal lubrication, thinning of the vaginal mucosa (skin), and a decrease in vaginal elasticity lead to painful intercourse. Since women live decades with no hormones, this can be a depressing scenario for some. Fortunately, this is where a laser vaginal rejuvenation treatment can help.
Laser vaginal rejuvenation, an FDA-approved in-office procedure, can be beneficial for those who experience:
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort, especially after menopause
- Mild urinary incontinence or leakage with sneezing, laughing, or exercise
- A feeling of vaginal laxity or reduced tone, often after childbirth
- Pain during intercourse or decreased sexual sensation
- Recurrent vaginal infections due to tissue changes
Your provider will meet with you to discuss your symptoms, explain how laser vaginal rejuvenation works, and ensure it’s the right option for your needs. No special preparation is typically required, and the treatment can often be done the same day as your consultation.
The procedure is quick—usually about 5 to 10 minutes—and takes place in a private, comfortable setting. A slim, wand-like device is gently inserted into the vagina to deliver controlled laser energy that stimulates collagen production and tissue renewal. Most patients describe a warming sensation with little to no discomfort.
You can return to normal daily activities right away, though you’ll be asked to avoid vaginal intercourse and tampons for about 3 to 5 days. Some women notice improvement after just one session, though a series of treatments may be recommended for the best results.

However, many patients find the investment worthwhile for the comfort and quality-of-life benefits it provides.
