What is Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Laser vaginal rejuvenation is a nonsurgical procedure that tightens the muscles and tissues of the external genital area, the vaginal opening and vaginal canal. After childbirth, hormonal changes, or normal aging, women can experience vaginal looseness or relaxation, which decreases stimulation during intercourse and can make sexual intercourse less gratifying. Vaginal relaxation can also lead to tampons to falling out, problems passing bowel movements, tissue protruding from the vagina, and other unpleasant symptoms. Laser vaginal rejuvenation can help relieve these symptoms.
