IntimaLase Laser 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.

Revolutionary Non-invasive Laser Treatment for Women’s Health

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.

IntimaLase is a non-invasive vaginal tightening procedure.

The procedure involves using an attachment which is similar to that used during a pap smear test. This will be inserted into the vagina. The laser is then inserted through this attachment. The non-ablative laser pulses will then occur, resulting in the stimulation of new collagen.

This procedure will last around 15 to 30 minutes.

You may feel some minor discomfort during the procedure, which may feel like minor burning or itching, however, any discomfort is very minimal.

This is a non-surgical procedure, so you will be able to return home the same day.

There is minimal downtime following this procedure. You will be able to resume your usual daily routine straight after the procedure.

It is recommended that you avoid any sexual intercourse for at least 48 hours.

There may be a noticeable difference within the first week, however, as the new collagen forms results will increase over the next four weeks.

You may need to have multiple treatments if you have a substantial amount of laxity. Generally, two sessions are required. The repeat sessions can be undertaken at one-month intervals.
