Genital atrophy:
Genital atrophy, caused by a decrease in female hormones after menopause, leads to thinning of the vaginal mucosa and reduced lubrication, resulting in discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Gynecological laser treatments, such as ATHENA®, increase vascularization and restructure collagen in the vaginal mucosa, providing greater elasticity and lubrication, and are an alternative for women who cannot undergo hormone replacement therapy.
Vaginal dryness:
The sensation of vaginal dryness is common in young women, especially after childbirth and during breastfeeding, due to the drop in estrogen production by the ovaries.
The application of intimate laser therapy improves vaginal lubrication, providing a more comfortable and pleasurable sex life, even for women using anti-estrogenic medications to treat breast cancer.
Vaginal laxity and vulvar laxity:
Vaginal and vulvar laxity can occur after childbirth and with the weakening of the pelvic floor over the years.
The intimate laser stimulates and tones the vaginal and vulvar area, significantly reducing sagging and improving the sensation of a "loose" or flaccid vagina.
Changes in skin color and retraction due to scarring:
Intimate laser treatment not only improves the color of scars, but also evens out the height of the scar in relation to the surrounding skin, reducing its size and improving its appearance.
Changes in skin color and retraction due to scarring can be significantly improved with laser treatment, resulting in more even and aesthetically pleasing skin.
Urinary incontinence:
Urinary incontinence can result in urine leakage when coughing, laughing, lifting heavy objects, and during physical activity, causing discomfort and embarrassment.
The intimate laser, with specific tips for the urethra and vaginal wall, can help treat certain types of urinary incontinence, improving bladder control and reducing episodes of urine leakage.
Lichen sclerosus or recurrent candidiasis:
Lichen sclerosus affects the skin in the perineal region, causing symptoms such as burning, itching, and pain, as well as skin lightening and atrophy.
Vaginal laser treatment can be used to alleviate this condition, providing symptom relief and restoring the health of the affected skin.
Intimate rejuvenation:
With aging and other factors, such as childbirth and weight gain, the vagina can lose tone and elasticity, affecting self-esteem and the quality of sexual life.
The application of intimate laser treatment promotes increased vaginal tone, elasticity, and lubrication, reducing genital and urinary infections and improving sexual function, thus providing a significant improvement in women's quality of life.
