Non Surgical Vaginal Tightening Treatment in London & UK
Non-surgical vaginal tightening treatments are a type of cosmetic gynaecology procedure aimed at improving vaginal function and can be truly life-changing for women affected by pregnancy, weight loss, injury or menopause. Traditional reconstructive procedures are designed to restore the anatomy of the external and internal genitalia to improve sexual function and may even relieve disabling symptoms caused by urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.
Although there is an increasing range of minimally invasive vaginal rejuvenation procedures aimed at enhancing vaginal function, non-surgical vaginal tightening treatments have risen in popularity in the UK. This is because they can be easily carried out in an outpatient setting. They are quick and straightforward to perform and do not involve the risks of invasive surgery. For women affected by mild to moderate symptoms involving vaginal relaxation or urinary continence, these highly effective treatments can significantly boost confidence without the need for the traditional incisions and scars of invasive surgery.
What is non surgical vaginal tightening with radiofrequency?
Radiofrequency (RF) non-surgical vaginal tightening is a cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the tissues in the vaginal canal. It is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require surgery and is done on an outpatient basis.
The procedure works by using a device that delivers radiofrequency energy into the vaginal tissue, causing the collagen fibres to contract and tighten. The heat generated by the radiofrequency energy also stimulates the production of new collagen, further tightening the vaginal tissue. This results in improved tone and elasticity of the vaginal canal, leading to a tighter and more youthful-feeling vagina.
Some common indications for RF vaginal tightening include:
- Loss of vaginal tightness after childbirth
- Vaginal laxity and looseness due to ageing
- Stress urinary incontinence
The procedure is performed by a healthcare professional and typically takes 30-45 minutes. Patients are usually able to return to normal activities immediately after the procedure, although they may experience some mild discomfort, swelling, or tenderness for a few days.
There is typically no significant downtime associated with RF vaginal tightening, and patients can return to sexual activity within a few days after the procedure. The results of RF vaginal tightening are usually noticeable within a few weeks and can last for several months to a year or more.
RF vaginal tightening is not a permanent solution, and the results may vary from person to person. Additionally, RF vaginal tightening is not recommended for women who are pregnant, have an active infection in the vaginal area, or have any medical conditions that affect their ability to heal.

Minimal invasiveness
RF vaginal tightening is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require incisions or anaesthesia. This means that there is no risk of surgical complications and no need for a lengthy recovery period.

Quick results
The results of RF vaginal tightening are usually noticeable within a few weeks and can last for several months to a year or more.

Reduced stress urinary incontinence
RF vaginal tightening can help to reduce stress urinary incontinence, which is a common issue for many women after childbirth or due to ageing.
Non-hormonal
Unlike some other treatments for vaginal laxity, RF vaginal tightening is non-hormonal, making it a good option for women who are unable or prefer not to take hormonal treatments.
Safe and effective

What is the difference between radiofrequency and laser vaginal tightening?
Radiofrequency (RF) and laser vaginal tightening are both cosmetic procedures that are used to improve the tone and tightness of the vaginal canal. Both procedures use energy to stimulate the tissues in the vaginal area, but there are some key differences between RF and laser vaginal tightening:
Energy source
RF vaginal tightening uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate the tissues in the vaginal area, while laser vaginal tightening uses laser energy.
Procedure time
RF vaginal tightening procedures are typically quicker than laser vaginal tightening procedures. A typical RF vaginal tightening procedure takes 30 minutes to an hour, while a laser vaginal tightening procedure may take up to 90 minutes.
Pain
RF vaginal tightening is generally considered to be less painful than laser vaginal tightening, although both procedures may cause some discomfort.
Results
Both RF and laser vaginal tightening can improve the tone and tightness of the vaginal canal, but the results of the procedures may vary from person to person. The results of RF vaginal tightening may last for several months to a year or more, while the results of laser vaginal tightening may last for several years.

Am I suitable for RF non surgical vaginal tightening?
Radiofrequency (RF) non-surgical vaginal tightening is a cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the tissues in the vaginal canal. Whether you are suitable for this procedure depends on several factors, including:
Medical history
Your doctor will evaluate your medical history to determine whether you have any conditions that could increase the risk of complications or affect the results of the procedure.
Physical condition
Your physical condition, including your overall health and the condition of the vaginal tissue, will be evaluated to determine whether you are a good candidate for RF vaginal tightening.
Expectations
It is important to have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure. RF vaginal tightening can improve the tone and tightness of the vaginal canal, but it may not be able to restore the vagina to its pre-birth state.
Lifestyle
Your lifestyle, including your sexual activity and overall physical activity level, will also be considered when determining whether you are a good candidate for RF vaginal tightening.
Non-Surgical Radiofrequency vaginal tightening Procedure
Radiofrequency (RF) non-surgical vaginal tightening is a cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the tissues in the vaginal canal. The procedure is designed to improve the tone and tightness of the vaginal canal without the need for surgery.
The procedure typically involves the following steps:
Consultation
The first step in undergoing RF vaginal tightening is to have a consultation with a qualified cosmetic gynaecologist. During this consultation, the healthcare provider will evaluate your medical history and physical condition to determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure.
Preparation
Before the procedure, you may be asked to clean the vaginal area and avoid using any creams, lotions, or other products. You may also be given instructions on how to prepare for the procedure, including how to manage any medications you may be taking.
Procedure
The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and takes 30-45 minutes. During the procedure, a device that delivers radiofrequency energy is inserted into the vaginal canal. The energy causes the collagen fibres in the vaginal tissue to contract and tighten, leading to improved tone and elasticity of the vaginal canal. The heat generated by the radiofrequency energy also stimulates the production of new collagen, further tightening the vaginal tissue.
Aftercare
After the procedure, you may experience some mild discomfort, swelling, or tenderness in the vaginal area. You may also be advised to avoid sexual activity or other strenuous activities for a few days. In general, patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
What to expect after non surgical RF vaginal tightening treatment
Radiofrequency (RF) non-surgical vaginal tightening is a cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the tissues in the vaginal canal. After undergoing the procedure, you can expect the following:
Recovery period
The recovery period after RF vaginal tightening is relatively short and easy. Most patients experience some mild discomfort, swelling, or tenderness in the vaginal area for a few days after the procedure, but these symptoms typically resolve on their own.
Results
The results of RF vaginal tightening may not be immediately noticeable, and it may take several weeks for the full effects of the procedure to be seen. The results of the procedure can last for several months to a year or more, but the procedure may need to be repeated in the future to maintain the results.
Improved sexual satisfaction
Many women report improved sexual satisfaction after undergoing RF vaginal tightening. This is because the procedure can help to tighten the vaginal canal, leading to improved sensation and pleasure during sexual activity.
