Vaginal Rejuvenation Q&A

What is vaginal rejuvenation?

Vaginal rejuvenation describes a range of procedures to improve the function and appearance of the vaginal area. These procedures can be either surgical or nonsurgical and are designed to address various issues related to vaginal health and aesthetics.

Nonsurgical options, like those using Fotona® laser technology, have become increasingly popular due to their minimally invasive nature and effectiveness.

What issues can vaginal rejuvenation address? 

Vaginal rejuvenation can address several common issues, including:

Stress incontinence

Vaginal rejuvenation can strengthen the vaginal walls and surrounding tissues, reducing or eliminating the involuntary leakage of urine during physical activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising. 

Vaginal laxity

Often a result of childbirth or aging, vaginal laxity can affect sexual satisfaction and overall comfort. Rejuvenation procedures can tighten the vaginal canal, enhancing sensation and function.

Dryness and atrophy

Hormonal changes, particularly during menopause, can lead to vaginal dryness and thinning of the vaginal walls. Vaginal rejuvenation can stimulate collagen production, improving lubrication and elasticity.

Pain during intercourse

By addressing issues like dryness and laxity, vaginal rejuvenation can reduce discomfort and enhance sexual pleasure.

Aesthetic concerns

Some women seek vaginal rejuvenation for cosmetic reasons, such as improving the appearance of the labia.

How does vaginal rejuvenation work? 

Fotona® laser vaginal rejuvenation works through a noninvasive procedure using two main types of laser treatments:

SMOOTH® mode

This laser mode delivers gentle, nonablative thermal energy to the vaginal tissue. The heat stimulates collagen production and remodels the existing collagen fibers, tightening the vaginal canal and improving the support of the pelvic floor.

Fractional mode

This mode targets the superficial layers of the vaginal mucosa, creating tiny thermal injuries that promote natural healing and regeneration, resulting in improved tissue elasticity and moisture levels.

What is recovery like after vaginal rejuvenation?

Recovery from Fotona laser vaginal rejuvenation is typically quick and straightforward. Most patients can get back to their normal routine immediately after the procedure. However, refrain from sexual activity for about a week to allow proper healing, and attend follow-up appointments to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.

You may have minimal discomfort after your procedure, but it should subside within a few days.
