INTRODUCTION: Photobiomodulation associated with depigmenting and rejuvenating cosmetics has shown benefits in improving sagging and genital hyperpigmentation in women. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to describe the perception of professionals about the improvement of sagging and genital hyperpigmentation treated by photobiomodulation associated with cosmetics. METHOD: The study showed a perception of improvement in the general appearance, sagging, and genital pigmentation with the proposed therapy. RESULTS: A sample composed of ten women submitted to four treatment sessions. The analysis professionals were by comparing the photographic records before and after the treatment of the genital region. CONCLUSION: However, it is necessary that new evaluation models to evidence the therapeutic effectiveness for treatments of flaccidity and dyschromia in the genital region are developed, thus expanding the evaluation methods beyond the perception of improvement in the general aspect.
