ProlapLase Laser Treatment
At a Glance
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a common occurrence for women who have undergone childbirth. Pessaries and surgical methods are available, however, a new solution is laser treatment.
To treat POP, Centre for Surgery uses Fotona’s ProlapLase laser treatment.
Anaesthesia type: n/a Procedure time: n/a Recovery time: n/aAbout
Other treatments to treat POP can often include surgery or the use of a pessary. Both of these methods have often had many complications and various side effects, and as such have not been a desirable option for women.
The ProLapse treatment uses the Er:YAG laser therapy. This laser stimulates collagen fibre production. This process shrinks and tightens the vaginal canal without the removal of any tissue.
There are many benefits to undergoing this procedure, such as:
- No anaesthesia required
- No recovery time – can immediately return to your usual activities
- No incisions or sutures involved
- No pre-op or post-op precautions
Candidates
You will be a suitable candidate for this procedure if you are wishing to treat POP and do not want to undergo surgery or use pessaries.
Prior to undergoing this procedure, you will need to attend a consultation with one of our surgeons. They will be able to assess whether or not this procedure is suitable for you or whether other options will be better.
Procedure
ProlapLase treatment involves using Fotona’s Er:YAG laser in mucosa tissue, which stimulates collagen remodelling and collagen tissue production.
There are three steps involved in the ProlapLase process. This is:
- 360° irradiation of the vaginal canal
- Angular irradiation on the side of the vaginal wall which is prolapsed
- Irradiation of the prolapsed vaginal wall and vestibule region
To continue to improve the POP, you may need to undergo repeat sessions. Generally, patients will require up to four sessions.
Recovery
As this is a non-surgical procedure, there is no recovery involved. You will be able to resume your usual day to day routine straight after the procedure.
FAQs
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the tissues and muscles which support the uterus, bladder or rectum become weak or loose. One of the organs will then press or drop into the vagina.
To treat this, you can undergo surgical procedures or resort to pessaries. Both methods have been associated with high levels of issues and side effects. As a result, laser therapy has become a more desirable option.
Treating Pelvic Organ Prolapse can be done by laser treatment. This is done using Fotona’s ProlapLase therapy. This uses the Er:YAG laser. This laser tightens the tissue and contracts the vaginal canal.
This method stimulates new collagen production while avoiding the removal of any tissue.
This is a gentle, non-invasive procedure. You should feel no pain during the procedure.
Most people will need to have multiple treatments to achieve the desired results. You may need to have up to four treatments.

We searched for many different surgeries to perform my procedure but the center for surgery really stuck out. The staff were incredibly friendly and the receptionist Gregory and surgeon Omar were highly professional, welcoming and made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Old implants removed and replaced, plus silicone granules removed from right armpit. My previous surgery was done over 20 years ago. (I never really had any breast tissue, so I had the implants to look normal). One implant had erupted and both had capsulated. I was never told they had a shelf life! When I first arrived at the clinic in Watford, ( I never went to th Harley St surgery) I was quite dubious about the whole set-up. The Surgery is right in the middle of a Business Site and it seemed like some sort of Back Street Butchery. (I hope this review will put people's minds at rest when they first arrive) It actually didn't help much that I had to wait an hour because the surgery that day had overrun, however, after talking to Omar Tillo and seeing how clued up he was on my situation, I began to relax. It didn't stop me going on-line to Google him and everything else about the practice, but it was all good. On the day of the surgery, I met with Mr Tillo again. I also met everyone else who was going to be in theatre with me and they all came to me individually to explain their roll. It was very comforting and reassuring. The surgery was quite lengthy and took several hours. I hadn't decided what size implants to go for pre surgery as my old ones were so distorted and out of place, so I left it with Mr Tillo to make the decision once the others had been removed. It is now 3 weeks since the implants were replaced and I am delighted with how I look and feel. The size and shape are perfect for me. Nothing weird or huge; I'm on the wrong side of 50 now so am not looking for glamour, just normality. The post surgery is superb. My coordinator, Naz, is very efficient and can't do enough for me. The incision in my armpit where the silicone particles had to be removed is probably the most uncomfortable part of the whole procedure, but most of you won't have to worry about that. I got a sick note for work purposes without any fuss at all, so over all; worth every penny! Don't let your first impressions put you off :-) Good luck.

I had a tummy tuck 2 weeks and 4 days ago. It is something I had been considering for a whilst now that I have completed my family. Also the excess skin and fat was getting me down. I went to another consultation in Harley Street which was 15 mins where the Dr examined me and told me he could do the work and his secretary than called me with the price, it was very rushed. I found Dr Tillo searching the net and after reading his reviews I called his office and spoke with Naz, she was very friendly, explained their procedures and arranged an appointment for me to meet with him. I met Dr Tillo in his Watford clinic, I felt at ease with him straight away. Dr Tillo examined me and than explained what the procedure would involve. I had a few questions and he was very patient and explained everything fully and clearly, I never felt rushed at all.On the day of my operation I was excited. Dr Tillo’s staff were All lovely and so was the anethesist who explained everything and next thing I knew I was asleep. When I woke up it didn’t even feel as if though I had had an operation! My husband picked me up , I was given pain killers and it was explained that I would need to keep my compression belt on and drains would be removed after two days.I went home a very happy lady!!!As days have passed I have healed very well with no complications, I am so pleased with my new tummy, I know it’s good esp since my 3 year old doesn’t think there’s a baby in there anymore!I cannot Thank Dr Tillo and his staff enough!!

Dr Tillo and his team are fantastic. Nothing has been too much for them!!I was told my tummy tuck would cost £17,000 at one clinic and £13,000 at another. It was considerably cheaper here. I'm not one to go for 'the cheaper options usually, as I tend to think you would get a cheaper result. But Dr Tillo pointed out that I didn't need all the work doing that the other places had said I did!! They were using my body to make money! Due to his honesty, and his non judgemental view, I left feeling confident that he was the man I needed.I am only a week out and thrilled to bits with my result so far. I can't recommend them enough.

Honestly, I was supposed to have a surgery at another private hospital (this hospital was supposed to be one of the best in london) but I chose to get my surgery done at center for surgery instead, my main reason for this was the level of service I recieved, the staff are very professional, they are caring (I had not eaten the entire day on the day of my surgery and one of the nurses got me some food without me asking her to do so. My surgery itself was amazing considering I never had one before and was a bit nervous beforehand. The staff calls you everyday to make sure you are ok and coping post surgery. Honestly I cannot thank the staff enough.
