Laser treatments that claim to rejuvenate vaginal tissue and alleviate women's symptoms of menopause are useless and no better than sham treatment, a clinical trial involving nearly 80 Australian women has found.
"The treatment of laser for postmenopausal vaginal symptoms just wasn't effective," says gynecologist Jason Abbott of the University of New South Wales; he is the senior author of the study which didn't find any benefit in any outcomes.
