Vaginal Laser Treatment

Laser gynaecology treatment at Centre for Surgery in London utilises highly effective Fotona SMOOTH laser technology for vaginal rejuvenation. Fotona SMOOTH laser is able to offer an entirely non-invasive vaginal tightening treatment to address a wide range of vaginal concerns including vaginal laxity, stress urinary incontinence leading to leakage of urine during coughing or sneezing, and symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and vaginal atrophy. The vaginal tightening laser treatments are based on a specially engineered non-ablative erbium laser mode (Fotona SMOOTH) that delivers targeted thermal energy pulses deep to 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 tightening treatments are very gentle, cause no pain and lead to no downtime following the procedure all without the need for incisions, scars, risks and downtime of traditional surgical treatments such as a vaginoplasty. The treatments not only target specific concerns but can also 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.

The Fotona SMOOTH laser gynaecology treatments are applicable to a very wide 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.
• Patients should otherwise be in good physical and mental health and with realistic expectations of what the treatment can achieve.

The walls of the vagina are composed of connective tissue which plays an important role in structural support of the surrounding pelvic organs including the rectum and bladder. Loss of integrity of the pelvic floor musculature as a result of 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 as well as 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 gently heat the tissue. The gentle thermal heating effect results in 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.

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 overall quality of life in women who have had laser vaginal tightening. Laser vaginal tightening can both complement  surgical vaginal tightening as well as being 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 that 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 improved in vascularity. Vaginal atrophy symptoms can be substantially improved with higher levels of lubrication and symptomatic relief of vaginal dryness and discomfort.

Recent studies had 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.
