RenovaLase® works by delivering controlled, gentle heating to the vaginal tissue using advanced laser technology. This stimulates angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), activates fibroblasts, and promotes collagen production, all without causing thermal or ablative damage. The result is improved tissue health, including increased epithelial thickness and enhanced vascularization of the lamina propria. These changes help alleviate common symptoms of vaginal atrophy, such as dryness, itching, irritation, and painful intercourse (dyspareunia).
RenovaLase®
RenovaLase® is a unique and innovative, non-invasive 2940 nm Er:YAG laser therapy for the symptoms of vaginal atrophy. It is based on non-ablative photothermal treatment of the vaginal canal. Clinical studies show that it is an efficient, easy-to-use, quick and safe procedure that eliminates the need for long-term estrogen administration.

What to Expect
How We Do It
Consultation & Assessment: We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. This ensures RenovaLase® is the right choice for your needs.
Preparation: On the day of the treatment, we make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. RenovaLase® is a non-invasive procedure that does not require anesthesia or incisions.
Laser Treatment: The Fotona laser gently heats the vaginal tissue, stimulating collagen production, improving blood flow, and enhancing tissue health. The treatment is precise and painless for most patients, with sessions lasting around 20–30 minutes.
Aftercare: There is no downtime required, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately. We provide aftercare instructions, such as avoiding intense physical activity or intercourse for 2–3 days, to ensure optimal healing.
Follow-Up & Results: Improvements are often noticeable within weeks as the tissue regenerates. For some, a second session may be recommended after 4–6 weeks, depending on the severity of symptoms and desired results.
Side Effects
The Treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure with minimal side effects. However, as with any treatment, there are some potential mild side effects that patients should be aware of. Mild discomfort, you may experience slight warmth or tingling during the treatment, temporary redness or swelling, vaginal dryness or discharge, this generally resolves within a few hours to a day
Time to Full Effect
The full effects of RenovaLase® typically develop over a period of 2 to 3 months as the treated tissue regenerates, collagen production increases, and blood flow improves. Many patients notice initial symptom relief, such as reduced dryness and irritation, within a few weeks after the first session.
For optimal results, some patients may require a second session, usually scheduled 4–6 weeks after the first. The final outcome includes long-lasting symptom relief and improved tissue health, often eliminating the need for ongoing estrogen therapy. Maintenance treatments may be recommended based on individual needs and lifestyle.
Questions? We’ve got answers.
What is RenovaLase® used for?
RenovaLase® is designed to treat symptoms of vaginal atrophy, including dryness, itching, irritation, and painful intercourse (dyspareunia), often caused by menopause, hormone changes, or postpartum recovery.
How does RenovaLase® compare to other treatments?
Unlike hormone replacement therapy or invasive procedures, RenovaLase® is non-invasive, painless, and requires no downtime. It offers a natural solution by stimulating collagen production and improving tissue health without long-term medication.
Is the treatment painful?
No, RenovaLase® is a gentle, non-invasive procedure. Most patients report only a mild warming sensation during the treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
usually scheduled 4–6 weeks after the first.

Results are long-lasting, often eliminating the need for ongoing estrogen therapy. Maintenance sessions may be recommended annually or as needed to sustain benefits.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal and may include mild redness, slight swelling, or temporary dryness, which typically resolve within a few days.
Do I need to prepare for the treatment?
There’s no major preparation required. Avoid scheduling during your menstrual period and ensure you’re free of active vaginal infections before the procedure.
Is there downtime after the procedure?
No, RenovaLase® has no downtime. You can resume normal daily activities immediately, but we recommend avoiding intense physical activity or intercourse for 2–3 days.
- Ensure you are free from any active vaginal infections (e.g., yeast or bacterial infections) before the treatment.
- Schedule your treatment when you’re not on your menstrual period.
- Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydrated tissues respond better to treatment and can improve overall comfort.
- Shave the external treatment area a day before your session.
- On the day of your appointment, wear loose, comfortable clothing to avoid irritation after the treatment.
- Avoid using tampons, douches, or any vaginal creams 24 hours before your treatment.
- Inform your provider of any recent gynecological surgeries, treatments, or ongoing medications.
- Avoid Heavy Exercise for at least 48 hours after the treatment. This allows the treated tissue to heal without added stress.
- Avoid sexual intercourse for 2-3 days post-treatment to give the area time to heal and minimize the risk of irritation.
- Avoid hot baths and saunas for 48 hours after treatment.
- Drink plenty of water in the days following your treatment. Hydration supports collagen production and tissue health, aiding in the healing process.
- Refrain from using tampons, douches, or vaginal creams for 3-5 days after the procedure.
- Wear Loose Clothing to prevent friction or pressure on the treated area, which can help reduce any potential discomfort or irritation.
