CO₂ exposure improves vaginal tissue hydration, elasticity, and pH in postmenopausal women
Five sessions of CO₂ carboxytherapy significantly improved vaginal elasticity, secretions, pH, mucosal state, and hydration as measured by the Bachmann Vaginal Health Index (VHI score increased from 12.55 to 18.26, P < .001) in postmenopausal women.
What this means for you
As estrogen declines after menopause, vaginal tissue can become dry, less elastic, and uncomfortable. This finding shows that CO₂ exposure measurably improved moisture, tissue quality, and pH balance — factors that directly affect comfort, confidence, and everyday quality of life for women in this stage.
