FDA Warning: Ineffectiveness of Vaginal Laser Procedures

Kristin E. Rojas’ article, “The FDA needs to take another look at laser-based ‘vaginal rejuvenation’” (Feb. 22, 2022), discusses concerns regarding the use of laser and energy-based devices marketed for vaginal rejuvenation and related procedures.

The article criticizes the widespread promotion and use of laser-based “vaginal rejuvenation” procedures, arguing they are both ineffective and dangerous. Despite being advertised in medical spas, online, and even some doctors’ offices as treatments for vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, and improved vaginal tightness, these procedures lack rigorous scientific evidence and can cause severe side effects, including burns, scarring, and chronic pain.

Rojas warns that misleading marketing preys on women seeking relief from vaginal discomfort, particularly cancer survivors. Without stronger regulation, more women may suffer unnecessary harm from ineffective and potentially dangerous procedures.
