| Summary: | Vaginal laxity is a condition that often occurs in women, especially after vaginal delivery, and its prevalence increases with age. This review aimed to explain the role of fractional Erbium laser as a new modality for vaginal laxity management. The typical symptom reported by patients was reduced vaginal sensation. One therapeutic option for vaginal laxity is fractional Erbium laser: yttrium aluminum garnet (Er: YAG) at 2,940 nm frequencies. The laser's thermal stimulation of the dermis appears to stimulate the formation of new collagen, resulting in the thickening of the vaginal mucosa. Previous studies on Er: YAG fractional lasers have shown satisfactory results with minimal side effects. |
