Federal regulators are warning women about potential risks associated with laser treatments that are being marketed across the nation, including in Rapid City.
On July 30, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cautioned against the use of energy-based “vaginal rejuvenation” devices, including lasers, to treat problems related to menopause, urinary incontinence and sexual function.
“These products have serious risks and don’t have adequate evidence to support their use for these purposes,” said a statement from FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb. “We are deeply concerned women are being harmed.”
