How it works: By creating thermal microchannels in the mucous tissue of the vagina, the laser beams stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen.
Therapeutic effect: thickens the vaginal wall, increases blood flow, relieves dryness and relative narrowing of the vaginal canal.
Advantages: No pain, no bleeding, outpatient (10 minutes), no recovery period required. Usually 3 to 5 treatment sessions are needed.
2. Vaginal RF
Radio frequency (RF) technology works with electromagnetic waves.
- How it works: It creates deeper heat than the laser and can affect the muscle and connective layers.
- Therapeutic effect: It causes "lifting" and tightening of deep tissues. RF is very effective for those who feel laxity in the deep tissues.
3. Carboxytherapy and PRP
The injection of carbon dioxide gas or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the vaginal wall causes cellular rejuvenation and increases tissue consistency, which is usually combined with a laser.
c) Reconstructive surgeries (vaginoplasty and perinorrhaphy)
For women who suffer from severe laxity, rupture of pelvic floor muscles or prolapsed organs, laser alone is not the answer and surgery is the only definitive and permanent solution.
1 vaginoplasty (Vaginoplasty) or vaginal tightening
This surgery is performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia.
- Procedure: The surgeon makes an incision in the back wall of the vagina and removes the excess and loosened mucus. But the most important part is bringing the separated muscles of the pelvic floor (Levator Ani) closer to each other and suturing them.
- Result: The internal diameter of the vagina decreases along the entire length of the canal and muscle strength increases significantly. The result of this operation is usually permanent (except in the case of natural birth again or severe weight change).
This operation focuses on the entrance of the vagina and the perineal area (the distance between the vagina and the anus). Its purpose is to narrow the entrance of the vagina and correct its ugly or open appearance. Perinorrhaphy is often performed at the same time as vaginoplasty.
3. Vaginal Thread Lift
A semi-invasive method in which the opening of the vagina is retracted and pulled upwards using special barbed threads. This method is a suitable option for those who do not want to do open surgery but laser is not enough for them.
Following the doctor's recommendations after treatment plays a key role in the durability of the results and prevention of complications.
Care after laser and RF:
- Avoid sex for 3 to 5 days.
- Not using tampons and vaginal douche until complete recovery.
- Avoid heavy sports activities for 24 hours.
- You may have a little watery discharge, which is normal.
Care after surgery (vaginoplasty):
- Rest: 3 to 7 days of rest at home.
- Sexual intercourse: Absolute prohibition of sexual intercourse between 6 and 8 weeks (until the sutures are completely healed).
- Hygiene: Keep the suture area dry and clean to prevent infection.
- Activity: Avoid lifting heavy objects, intense sports and constipation (straining) for up to 2 months.
- Clothes: wearing cotton and loose underwear.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Generally, it is recommended to perform vaginoplasty surgery after completing the family and after the last delivery. Natural childbirth after surgery can destroy the results of surgery and cause re-rupture. If you get pregnant, cesarean section will be a better option.
No, vaginal laser is usually not painful and patients report only a slight warm sensation or slight tingling sensation. In case of high sensitivity, local anesthetic cream can be used.
3. How long are the results of vaginal laser?
The duration of the laser depends on the severity of the problem and the reaction of the individual's body, but usually the results last between 12 and 18 months. In order to maintain the result, it is recommended to have a reminder meeting (Touch-up) every year.
Labiaplasty is an external cosmetic surgery that is performed to shrink the edges of the vagina (labia minor) and does not affect the narrowing of the vaginal canal. But vaginoplasty is an internal surgery to narrow the vaginal canal and muscles.
There is no specific age and it depends on the symptoms of the patient. But usually, this operation is performed for women over 30 years old who have experienced childbirth or postmenopausal women. Doing this procedure is not recommended for young and single girls.
Summary and specialist advice from a doctor
Vaginal laxity is not a problem you have to deal with and reduce your quality of life. This complication is a well-known medical problem with effective treatment strategies. Returning to normal anatomy not only improves sexual satisfaction for you and your partner, but also prevents secondary complications such as frequent infections and urinary incontinence.
Dr. Vida Yousefian as a gynecologist and beauty specialist, emphasizes:
"Each lady has a unique anatomy and a single prescription is not prescribed for everyone. In some people, a few outpatient laser sessions produce amazing results, while in others, detailed surgery is required to repair the torn muscles. The most important step is to overcome the feeling of embarrassment and have an honest consultation with the doctor. Our goal in the clinic is not only beauty; Rather, it is to restore your health, proper functioning and self-confidence."
