Ozone and GigaLaser red light therapy in New York City and Connecticut.
Medical ozone and GigaLaser pelvic red light therapy treat dryness, irritation, and recurrent infection without needles, anesthetic, or recovery time. For many women they're the starting point — and for some, they're all that's needed.
No needles
Nothing is injected. Ozone is delivered to the tissue surface; the GigaLaser is delivered through the skin, over clothing.
No anesthetic
Neither treatment requires numbing. Most women feel warmth, or nothing at all.
No downtime
You can drive yourself home, return to work, and resume normal activity the same day.
Not every problem needs an injection to be treated properly.
Two of the things that go wrong after menopause aren't structural. When the vaginal microbiome shifts and pH rises, the result is irritation, odor, and infections that keep returning. When blood flow drops and cellular energy production falls, the result is tissue that heals slowly and feels less.
Neither of those is fixed by adding volume. Ozone addresses the microbial and inflammatory side. Red and near-infrared light addresses the cellular and circulatory side. The GigaLaser addresses the cellular and circulatory side. Both are delivered locally, both take under half an hour, and neither requires you to plan your week around recovery.
They're often used on their own, and often used between PRP appointments to support and extend what the injections started.
What is vaginal ozone therapy?
In-clinic procedure · Medical-grade ozone · 15–20 minutes
SHORT ANSWER
Vaginal ozone therapy, or ozone insufflation, delivers medical-grade ozone gas directly to vaginal tissue through a soft applicator. It targets the microbial and inflammatory causes of irritation, odor, and recurrent infection. A session takes 15 to 20 minutes, requires no needles or anesthetic, and has no recovery period.
Ozone is a naturally occurring form of oxygen with documented antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity, used medically for decades in wound care, dentistry, and infection management.
Here it addresses the part of genitourinary change that isn't structural — the microbial imbalance and low-grade inflammation that drive irritation, odor, and infections that return after every course of antibiotics. It's particularly useful post-childbirth, after menopause, and alongside microbiome restoration.
Recurrent infection
Irritation & itching
Microbiome disruption
Post-childbirth recovery
Odor
NOT A AT HOME TREATMENT
Medical ozone must be generated and dosed with clinical equipment. Concentration and exposure time matter, and ozone should never be inhaled. This is administered in clinic under physician supervision — devices sold for home use are not equivalent and are not something we recommend.
What is GigaLaser red light therapy?
In-clinic procedure · Red & near-infrared light · Low-level laser therapy
SHORT ANSWER
GigaLaser red light therapy is photobiomodulation delivered by a medical laser system, in which 808 nm near-infrared laser and 660 nm red light are applied across the lower abdomen and pelvis. The light is absorbed by mitochondria, increasing cellular energy production, collagen synthesis, and local blood flow. You stay fully clothed, nothing is inserted, and a session runs about 20 minutes.
Photobiomodulation goes by several names — PBM, low-level laser therapy, and cold laser therapy all describe the same thing. What separates the GigaLaser from a consumer red light panel is dose and depth. Where a home panel delivers a modest amount of scattered LED light, the GigaLaser is an FDA-cleared Class 3B medical laser system built around coherent 808 nm diodes that reach deeper tissue. It is the same system used in the Danish and Norwegian fertility protocols.
Light in the red and near-infrared range is absorbed by mitochondria — the structures inside every cell that produce energy — and increases their output. More cellular energy means more collagen synthesis, better local blood flow, and faster tissue repair. That is the mechanism behind why light therapy is used on wounds, scars, and healing tissue elsewhere in medicine.
Applied across the pelvis, it targets the three things that decline with estrogen loss: collagen, vascularity, and epithelial thickness.

Ozone vs. light therapy: what each one does.
They're frequently prescribed together because they don't overlap. Ozone works on the environment; light works on the tissue.

Who these are for — and who they aren't.
Likely a fit if
-
You have dryness, irritation, or recurrent infections and want to start without a procedure
-
You've had repeated antibiotic courses that keep resolving and returning
-
Hormone therapy isn't an option for you, or helped only partway
-
You want treatment that fits around a working week with no recovery
-
You've had PRP and want to support and extend the result
Not a fit if
-
Your primary concern is structural volume or laxity — that needs a different approach
-
You have an active untreated infection or unexplained bleeding, which we evaluate first
-
You have a photosensitizing condition or take photosensitizing medication — this affects light therapy specifically
-
You have G6PD deficiency or an active thyroid condition, which we screen for before ozone
-
You can't attend a series of appointments in person

Photobiomodulation therapy for genitourinary syndrome of menopause: a prospective study
Twenty-seven postmenopausal women received eight weekly 30-minute sessions of 660 nm light. Vaginal Health Index scores improved significantly at every follow-up, and every participant reached the non-atrophic threshold. Urinary scores improved and held at three months, with no adverse events reported.

Ozone and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy could improve pelvic pain along with lowering serum inflammatory markers
Eight women received transdermal and intravaginal ozone therapy over six sessions in three weeks. Pain scores fell significantly after the fourth session, and two blood markers of inflammation dropped measurably — CRP and IL-1β
