The basics

What is in-clinic vaginal dryness treatment?

Lubricants and moisturisers ease dryness for a while, but they don't change the tissue itself. In-clinic treatments aim to restore the vaginal lining, so it becomes thicker, better supplied with blood and able to stay moist on its own.

Sinsoe uses several methods. Some stimulate your own collagen and blood vessels, like the CO2 laser and growth-factor injections. Others add volume and support to the lining, like Love Fill-up filler. Hormone treatment works on the estrogen side.

Many women do best with a combination. Your doctor explains each option, the number of sessions and what to realistically expect before anything is done.

Who it can help Signs you may benefit

  • Dryness that lasts despite lubricants and moisturisers
  • Pain, burning or tearing during sex
  • Dryness after menopause, especially when hormones aren't an option
  • Thin, fragile vaginal tissue seen on exam
  • Dryness together with mild laxity or mild leaking

What it is not

  • Not the first step. Simple options come first, see vaginal dryness solutions.
  • Not a fix for infection. Itching with discharge needs a swab test first.
Is it right for you

Who is a good candidate for vaginal dryness treatment?

Your doctor checks your history and examines the vaginal tissue before recommending a procedure.

Your situation What your doctor may suggest
Menopause, no reason to avoid hormones Vaginal estrogen, alone or with laser
Menopause, hormones not suitable or not wanted MonaLisa Touch laser or a growth-factor injection
Dryness with looseness or less sensation Love Fill-up filler, sometimes with laser
After childbirth or breastfeeding Usually simple care first, and procedures only if dryness lasts
Dryness with mild leaking when you cough Laser, which can also help mild stress incontinence

This is a general guide. Your doctor decides with you after an exam.

A procedure may need to wait if you:
  • Have an active vaginal infection or unexplained bleeding
  • Are pregnant
  • Have an abnormal Pap result that has not been checked

These are checked and treated first. Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines.

Your options

Laser, injection or filler: the 3 main procedures

Each works in a different way. Hormone options can be added to any of them.

MonaLisa Touch CO2 laser

A 360° fractional CO2 laser treats the vaginal wall with tiny laser points to trigger new collagen and blood flow. It is usually done as a series of sessions. See laser vaginal rejuvenation.

Thin, dry tissue

Growth-factor injection

A vaginal regeneration injection with growth factors, given into the vaginal lining to support repair and moisture. Stem-cell vaginal injections are also offered.

Hormone-free option

Love Fill-up filler

A collagen filler injected into the vaginal lining in 10 to 15 minutes. It helps with dryness, tightness and sensation. See vaginal fillers.

Side by side

How the treatments compare, including side effects

An honest comparison. Results vary from woman to woman, and none of these is a one-time permanent fix.

MonaLisa Touch laser Collagen remodeling

Works gradually over weeks. Possible side effects: temporary burning, spotting or discharge. Usually a series of sessions, with top-ups later.

Growth-factor injection Tissue regeneration

A quick injection in the clinic. Possible side effects: temporary soreness, swelling or spotting at the injection points.

Love Fill-up filler Collagen filler, 10–15 min

No skin test is needed because HLA is removed. Possible side effects: swelling and tenderness, rarely lumps or infection. Sex after about one week.

Hormone options Vaginal estrogen or DHEA

Often the most direct fix for menopausal dryness. Not suitable for everyone, for example some women with a history of breast cancer. See HRT.
