- Fractional CO2 laser therapy significantly improved GSM symptoms, sexual function, and genital self-image in postmenopausal women at 4-6 weeks.
- Improvements were largely sustained at 1 year, with slight decline at 2 years but still better than baseline.
- Patient satisfaction increased over time, and booster sessions were used for symptom recurrence to support long-term maintenance.
- The therapy is a nonhormonal option but not first-line; controlled studies are needed for long-term efficacy and patient selection.
