Vaginal Laser Treatment

Vaginal laser treatment, also known as vaginal rejuvenation or vaginal laser therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser energy to improve the tone and tightness of the vaginal canal. The procedure is designed to address common issues that can arise as a result of ageing, childbirth, or hormonal changes, such as vaginal dryness, decreased sensation, and loss of tone and tightness in the vaginal canal.

The vaginal laser treatment procedure typically involves the use of a laser wand or probe that is inserted into the vaginal canal. The laser energy heats the tissues in the vaginal area, causing the collagen fibres to contract and tighten. This process stimulates the production of new collagen, which helps to improve the overall tone and tightness of the vaginal canal.

Vaginal laser treatment is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and it does not require general anaesthesia or an overnight stay in a hospital. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour, and patients can typically return to their normal activities within a few days of the procedure.

Laser vaginal treatment at Centre for Surgery in London utilises highly effective Fotona SMOOTH laser technology for vaginal rejuvenation. Fotona SMOOTH laser can offer an entirely non-invasive vaginal laser treatment to address a wide range of vaginal concerns, including vaginal laxity, stress urinary incontinence leading to urine leakage during coughing or sneezing, and symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and vaginal atrophy. The vaginal laser treatments are based on a specially engineered non-ablative erbium laser mode (Fotona SMOOTH) that delivers targeted thermal energy pulses deep into the tissues that have undergone adverse changes over time. The result is a healthier, stronger and improved vaginal function with continued substantial improvement over time as the vaginal tissue undergoes further remodelling. Laser vaginal treatment is very gentle, causes no pain and leads to no downtime following the procedure, without incisions, scars, risks and downtime of traditional surgical treatments such as a vaginoplasty. The treatments target specific vaginal concerns and can address multiple vaginal symptoms in one treatment. An example is an improvement in urinary incontinence and a reduced feeling of pelvic organ prolapse in the same treatment.

Vaginal laser treatments, also known as vaginal rejuvenation, are cosmetic procedures aimed at improving the appearance and function of the vaginal area. They can be used to treat issues such as vaginal laxity, dryness, and pain during sex. To determine if you are suitable for vaginal laser treatment, you should first consult our experienced specialists who specialise in the procedure. They will consider factors such as your overall health, medical history, and specific concerns or goals for the treatment.

Fotona laser treatments apply to a vast range of adult women who fulfil the following criteria:

• Adult women over the age of 18 who are concerned by vaginal laxity, urinary stress incontinence, mild pelvic organ prolapse or suffer from vaginal dryness.
• Patients who are not keen on the idea of more invasive surgical treatment or may have had previous vaginal tightening surgery and wish to maintain the results over time.
• Otherwise, patients should be in good physical and mental health and have realistic expectations of what the treatment can achieve.
• Additionally, the specialist will evaluate your anatomy to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure. For example, if you have a history of vaginal infections or sexually transmitted diseases, you may need to wait until these issues are resolved before undergoing treatment.

The walls of the vagina are composed of connective tissue, which plays a vital role in the structural support of the surrounding pelvic organs, including the rectum and bladder. Loss of integrity of the pelvic floor musculature due to childbirth or advancing age may result in symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. The vagina begins to lose its tightness caused by stretching of the supporting ligaments, which may affect sexual function and give rise to symptoms of urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.

Fotona SMOOTH laser treatments are based on unique non-ablative Erbium laser technology that delivers focussed pulses of thermal energy to the walls of the vagina to heat the tissue gently. The gentle thermal heating effect results in an improvement in the strength of the pelvic muscles and ligaments as a result of the stimulation of new collagen and elastin production. The deeper layers of the vagina undergo thickening and develop increased tautness and firmness with an associated improvement in local blood supply leading to less vaginal dryness.

Fotona laser vaginal treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses a specialised laser system to improve the appearance and function of the vaginal area. The treatment typically involves using two different laser wavelengths, which target different tissues and deliver different benefits.

The first wavelength, known as the Er:YAG laser, is used to perform a procedure called fractional vaginal resurfacing. This process involves the delivery of precise and controlled laser energy to the vaginal wall, which causes the creation of microscopic thermal zones within the tissue. The heat generated by the laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which results in a tightening and rejuvenation of the vaginal wall.

The second wavelength, known as the Nd:YAG laser, is used to target the deeper vaginal tissues. This process involves the delivery of laser energy into the vaginal canal, which stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and the production of healthy vaginal tissue. The result is an improvement in vaginal blood flow, which can help to reduce dryness, discomfort, and pain during sexual activity.

In addition to these benefits, Fotona laser vaginal treatment can also help to improve the appearance of the vaginal area by reducing the appearance of labial and vulvar wrinkles and improving the overall tone and texture of the skin.

IntimaLase or laser vaginal tightening is a non-invasive and gentle laser treatment using Fotona SMOOTH pulses targeted at the surface of the vagina and vaginal opening or vulva. IntimaLase has been demonstrated to increase sexual satisfaction and make a dramatic positive impact on the overall quality of life in women who have had laser vaginal tightening. Laser vaginal tightening can complement surgical vaginal tightening as well as an effective alternative for women not keen on surgery.

The figures speak for themselves. In a recent study, 95% of women experienced better sensation and more friction during sex, and more than 50% experienced better orgasms after having the IntimaLase treatment.

IncontiLase is a laser gynaecology treatment for the non-surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence and also mixed incontinence. The gentle heating of the deeper connective tissue stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which helps to strengthen the supporting tissue and reduce symptoms of this socially disabling condition, which is a source of much embarrassment in many women.

In a recent study, after IncontiLase treatment, 81% of women who previously suffered from severe urinary incontinence were free of symptoms or had very mild symptoms.

Pelvic organ prolapse develops in many women following childbirth or with the ageing process. The ProlapLase Fotona treatment is designed to address women who have milder but symptomatic forms of pelvic organ prolapse, which interferes with their activities of daily living. Micropulses of laser energy are aimed at the areas which have undergone prolapse and to the whole vaginal surface. Women can expect increased strength of vaginal tissue with an improved ability to support surrounding pelvic structures and a reduction in symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse.

Laser gynaecology treatment is not just for younger women but is also an effective treatment for older women suffering from menopause-related vaginal dryness. Renovalase vaginal treatment delivers focused micro beams of non-ablative laser energy to stimulate the regeneration of the vaginal tissue with an improvement in vascularity. Vaginal atrophy symptoms can be substantially improved with higher levels of lubrication and symptomatic relief of vaginal dryness and discomfort.

Recent studies have demonstrated that after the RenovaLase procedure, more than 95% of menopausal women experienced a significant reduction in vaginal dryness, irritation and pain during sexual intercourse.
