Is there a specific brand or company so I can call to see who is using their system in my area? Thank you.

Throughout time, laser technology has continued to improve.  Most recently, the 980 nm laser has been found to be very successful in LVR with excellent precision and accuracy. As an associate of the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America, I use a 980nm diode laser to perform Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation (LVR).  Anyone who is not using this type of laser or who is not an LVRIA associate has not been properly trained to perform Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation in the manner that has had the proven success.
