Rediscovering Comfort: My Experience with CO₂ Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation for Menopause

Laser Treatment

Menopause is a season of life that no one truly prepares you for. Along with the hot flushes and restless nights, I noticed changes that were harder to talk about: dryness, discomfort, and even pain during intimacy. It left me feeling frustrated and, if I’m honest, less like myself. That’s when I heard about CO₂ laser vaginal treatment, available at Skin Reform, and decided to give it a try. I was nervous, but the promise of relief without surgery gave me hope.

When I arrived, the team was welcoming and made me feel completely at ease. After a consultation where everything was explained in detail, I was taken to the treatment room. The procedure is non-surgical and minimally invasive and promises no downtime. A small, specialised laser device is gently inserted, and it works by delivering controlled CO₂ energy to the vaginal tissue. It sounds intimidating, but it’s surprisingly comfortable. The whole process took less than 30 minutes, and apart from a warm sensation, I felt no pain.

The science is fascinating. The laser stimulates collagen production and improves blood flow, encouraging the tissue to naturally restore itself. Over time, this leads to better elasticity, improved lubrication, and healthier vaginal tissue. Essentially, it helps your body to heal itself, which feels so much more natural than relying on hormone creams or medication.

In the days after, I carried on as normal; there was no downtime (which I loved). Within a few weeks, I started noticing changes:

• More comfort: everyday dryness eased, and I felt less irritation.
• Improved intimacy: sex became less painful and more enjoyable.
• Renewed confidence: I felt like I had taken back control of my body.

What surprised me most was how much this treatment lifted not only my physical symptoms but also my emotional well-being. It’s hard to explain the relief of feeling like “me” again.

If you’re going through menopause and struggling with vaginal dryness, discomfort, or painful intimacy, I can honestly say that CO₂ laser vaginal rejuvenation at Skin Reform has been life-changing. It’s discreet, effective, and most importantly, it gave me back a part of my life I thought I had lost. Menopause doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your comfort or confidence. Sometimes, the most empowering step is simply asking for help and exploring treatments designed to support women through every stage of life.
