Frequently Asked Questions

What can CO2 laser therapy be used for?

CO2 laser therapy can be used to treat a number of conditions in a woman's intimate area. These include vaginal dryness or soreness, vaginal laxity (looseness) and urinary incontinence. It may also help to treat certain recurring infections.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

CO2 laser therapy is most suitable for women in the post-menopause stage of their life, and also those who have recently given birth. However, it may also be suitable for women who simply want to improve their vaginal comfort and sexual function.

How does it work?

CO2 laser therapy for the intimate area works in much the same way as CO2 laser skin resurfacing. When the CO2 laser is targeted at the target area, it stimulates the natural production of collagen in your body. Collagen is a protein that's vital for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of your skin. Collagen production slows down as we age, which is why our skin starts to sag and wrinkles start to appear as we get older. Increased collagen production can help to maintain skin firmness, strengthen the vaginal walls, enhance the sensitivity of the vaginal receptors, restore lubrication and increase flexibility.

How long does CO2 laser therapy take, and when will I start to see results?

CO2 laser therapy can take as little as 15 minutes to perform, and some patients will see results immediately after their first treatment. However, it may take multiple treatments spaced across a couple of months to see all the benefits of the treatment.

Are there any side effects?

There are very few side effects associated with CO2 laser therapy. You may see some redness or swelling in the target area after your session, but this tends to subside quickly.

Do I need to take any precautions before or after the treatment?

During your initial consultation we'll assess you to let you know if you need to take any precautions before or after the treatment. However, it is recommended in all cases that you avoid sex for at least 48 hours after the procedure.
