Is vaginoplasty done with fractional co2 vaginal laser?
Short answer
Vaginoplasty is generally a surgical procedure, while fractional CO2 vaginal laser is a separate non-surgical technology that uses laser energy.
This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

The difference between them
Vaginoplasty involves surgery to alter or repair vaginal tissues. It may require anaesthesia, incisions, sutures, recovery time, and surgical aftercare. The exact technique depends on the reason for treatment and the area being addressed.
A fractional CO2 vaginal laser delivers controlled energy to targeted vaginal tissue through a treatment device. It does not perform the cutting, removal, or suturing associated with an operation. A clinic may discuss both options in the same consultation, but using a laser is not the same as having vaginoplasty.
Before choosing treatment
Ask the clinician to name the procedure, its intended goal, and whether it is surgical or energy-based. Clarify the expected recovery, discomfort, sexual activity restrictions, follow-up, and alternatives. Ask what examination is needed to identify causes of laxity, dryness, pain, urinary symptoms, or pelvic floor problems before treatment is selected.
Do not rely on a marketing label such as tightening or rejuvenation. Request written information about the device or operation being proposed and who will perform it.
When to seek care
After a procedure, contact the treating service for heavy bleeding, fever, increasing pelvic pain, foul-smelling discharge, difficulty urinating, or wound separation. Seek urgent help for severe pain, fainting, breathing difficulty, or sudden weakness.
Before treatment, arrange medical assessment for new bleeding, a vaginal bulge, persistent pelvic pain, or urinary or bowel changes. These symptoms may need diagnosis before a cosmetic or reconstructive procedure is considered.

Questions people ask
Is fractional CO2 vaginal laser another name for vaginoplasty?
No. It is a separate technology and does not describe the surgical steps of vaginoplasty.
Can a consultation cover both treatments?
