A model who got red light therapy on her vagina says she now feels more confident in herself – and in the bedroom.
Bella Mantovani is a model and influencer with over 368,000 Instagram followers.
The 33-year-old often talks about her unique passions, having previously hit the headlines for working out naked in the gym and doing nude yoga in the forest.
She is now taking self-love to new heights, having undergone vaginal laser treatment using CO₂ fractional technology – a treatment known to gently stimulate the vaginal mucosa to trigger a natural healing response.
“I wanted to do it for myself, to look in the mirror and feel good,” Bella told Need To Know.
“Knowing I’m taking care of my whole body, even the parts no one sees.
“In a way to stimulate collagen production in my intimate area and strengthen both my health and self-esteem.
“The decision was guided by my gynaecologist but came primarily from a personal realisation that I deserved this kind of care.
“It’s a form of self-care that’s still taboo but it changes so much, including how we feel in a relationship.”
The influencer says the procedure exceeded her expectations within just a few weeks.
She said: “I didn’t imagine the feeling of comfort would come so quickly.
“I felt well taken care of, pain-free and confident that I had done something positive for myself.
“It’s about wellness, pleasure, and empowerment.
“Since the procedure, I have felt more confident and secure during sex.
“Since I’m already a mom, I have noticed that the treatment helped tighten the area slightly.
“Which made everything feel more comfortable and even brought back some of the sensations from my first time, in a really positive way.
“Even though it’s a subtle, non-invasive treatment, the CO₂ laser helps stimulate collagen, improving firmness and elasticity down there.
“It has made a real difference in how I feel in my body and in my relationship.”
Bella considers the procedure to be one of the best things she’s done for herself and plans on undergoing it again by the end of the year.
The influencer, from Brazil, added: “It wasn’t for any type of issue or medical matter, it was a personal decision, which has paid of really well.
“A form of self-care motivated by the desire to feel complete and confident in my body.
“It was about choosing myself and extending the same attention I give to my outer appearance to my intimate health as well.”
