Laser technology has been used in gynecology for the past four years with revolutionary outcomes and is creating new prospects for the treatment of several problems.
Laser technology
CO2 and Er-YAG lasers (the most widely used in gynecology) act on tissues where water predominates (as the vaginal mucosa, inner face of the labia minora …). The effect of the laser on these tissues is based on its conversion of light into heat. This heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, improving the quality and thickness of vaginal tissue, balancing the vaginal pH and reducing vaginal and urinary infections (all of which have a positive influence on sexual intercourse).
