Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the use of the Alma CO2 Pixel FemiLift™ in the treatment of VulvoVaginal Atrophy (VVA) in postmenopausal female subjects. The primary endpoint is to assess the change in the vaginal dryness by means of a Visual Analogic Scale (10 cm VAS) and/or Bachmann Index in VVA. The clinical improvement will be assessed by patient filled Vulvovaginal Atrophy.
