IntimaLase (Vaginal Tightening)

IntimaLase is a laser therapy by Fotona which works to tighten the vaginal canal. This is a suitable procedure for women who have lost the optimal structural form of the vaginal canal, which generally happens as a result of childbirth or simply from naturally ageing.

“Vaginal laxity or ‘looseness’ affects almost ¼ of all women who have given birth”

Benefits of IntimaLase

The vaginal walls contain collagen fibres. As we age, the collagen stretches and the vaginal walls lose elasticity. This can have a number of negative consequences, such as infections, urinary incontinence and a decrease in pleasure from sexual intercourse.

The procedure involves the use of the Er:YAG non-ablative laser which thermally affects the vaginal tissue. This causes collagen remodelling and stimulates the production of new collagen fibres. Laser vaginal tightening will ensure the vaginal canal is tighter and has a better structure, without having to undergo any surgical procedure.

You will be considered a suitable candidate for this procedure if you wish to tighten the walls of the vaginal canal.

You may have undergone childbirth or have lost structure as a result of ageing. However, this procedure can be performed for anyone over the age of 18, even those who are younger and do not have children.

Before undergoing the laser vaginal tightening procedure, you will be required to attend a consultation with one of our surgeons. They will be able to assess whether you are a suitable candidate for this procedure, or whether you should undergo a different gynaecological procedure, such as vaginoplasty.

For the majority of cases, three sessions of IntimaLase^® with a one-month interval are sufficient to achieve noticeable results. No special pre-op preparations or post-op precautions are necessary. You can immediately return to your normal everyday activities. Additional advantages of IntimaLase^® are that the procedure is incisionless and virtually painless. Recovery is extremely quick without need for the use of analgesics or antibiotics.
