Menopausal\u00a0 Vaginal\u00a0 Atrophy Treatment with the Microablative Fractional CO2 Laser<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vulvovaginal mucosal\u00a0 atrophy is seen in a good proportion of menopausal women, with symptoms such as decreased vaginal\u00a0 lubrication with resultant dryness, itchiness, dyspareunia and contact bleeding.<\/p>\n

Treatment of the above problem with\u00a0 local or systemic therapies give little relief.<\/p>\n

Using the well-proven ability of the pulsed fractional CO2 laser for mucosal regeneration, a significant clinically appreciated thickening of the mucosa\u00a0 and collagen synthesis is noted in the\u00a0 vagina.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon grand Ultra-pulse CO2 fractional laser is used for three treatments at six weekly intervals. No anaesthesia is required for the treatment, with each session taking approximately 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

A recent Pap smear is a requirement and recovery takes about two weeks with some vaginal discharge\u00a0 needing the use of pads.<\/p>\n

The treatment is now available at the Plastic Cosmetic Laser Surgery Centre.<\/p>\n

Please call for more information.<\/p>\n
