What is vaginal atrophy?
Vaginal atrophy occurs when the body does not produce enough oestrogen. Most of the time this will occur after menopause, but can also occur at other times, such as prior to menopause, or if the ovaries are removed. Chemotherapy and hormonal treatments can also cause vaginal atrophy.
Once you have been diagnosed, it will often be recommended that you undergo hormonal therapy. However, many women do not wish to do this due to the possible side effects.
As a result, you may wish to undergo laser treatment. Centre for Surgery uses lasers by Fotona, a world-leading laser company.
Laser treatment eliminates the need to undergo a long-lasting estrogen program to resolve vaginal atrophy. Instead, you can undergo a quick, safe and non-invasive laser treatment.
Ideal candidates for RenovaLase
You will be a suitable candidate if you have vaginal atrophy which you are wanting to treat.
You will need to be at least 18 years old to undergo this procedure.
What does RenovaLase involve?
For the majority of cases, three sessions of RenovaLase® with a one-month interval are sufficient to achieve noticeable results. No special pre-op preparations or post-op precautions are necessary. You can immediately return to your normal everyday activities. Additional advantages of RenovaLase® are that the procedure is incisionless and virtually painless. Recovery is extremely quick without need for the use of analgesics or antibiotics.

FAQs
-
What is vaginal atrophy?This is a condition which many women experience, which causes drying and thinning out of the vaginal walls. This can cause a range of symptoms, including soreness, itching, infections, discharge or pain during intercourse.
This condition occurs when the body does not produce enough oestrogen. This commonly occurs after menopause. However, it can also occur in the lead up to menopause or after the removal of both ovaries. -
How do Fotona SMOOTH treatments work?The treatments work by stimulating the body’s own regenerative potential. Laser pulses are delivered to the tissue in an optimal, patented laser mode that produces gentle heat pulses in the vaginal mucosal lining, stimulating the formation of new collagen and strengthening vaginal wall support.
-
What is involved in the laser treatment?Vaginal atrophy treatment will involve the use of Fotona’s RenovaLase laser.
This laser is able to emit a controlled mild-heating of the vaginal tissue. This stimulates angiogenesis, fibroblast activity and causes new collagen production.
This process causes the vaginal walls to thicken and causes a reduction in the previously experienced symptoms. -
How long does the treatment take?The treatment takes about 30 minutes to complete.
