Tightening and atrophy of the vagina is a problem that afflicts thousands of women who have experienced the process of normal childbirth as well as many women who enter menopause and lose estrogen. Other aggravating factors are aging but also hormonal disorders at a younger age, smoking, lack of physical exercise, sudden weight fluctuations or long-term lifting of heavy objects.
These also have a direct impact on sexual pleasure, making it harder to reach orgasm and can cause urinary incontinence.
To treat them, many women choose the method of vaginal rejuvenation and tightening.
The treatment of vaginal laxity and epithelial atrophy is achieved easily and painlessly with the use of a specialized laser (Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation-LVR).
This is a new, revolutionary technique, designed to stimulate vaginal fibroblasts to produce collagen, restoring this way the elasticity of the vaginal walls and their hydration. This also results in vaginal tightening and subsequently correction of incontinence. Restoration of hydration also corrects the pH of the vagina and eliminates vaginitis. Restoration of the vaginal mucosa also stops the pain during intercourse if present.
This is an office procedure. First, mild local anesthesia is performed with a spray and then with the use of the CO2 laser’s special head which enters the vaginal and mucosa anaplasis is performed. At the end of the session the laser head is applied to rejuvenate the labia minora and labia majora. After the procedure there is a mild irritation that subsides in 24-72 hours and usually the only if requires is the application of a vaginal cream.
The treatment lasts 20-30 minutes and the woman continues her activity normally on the same day, avoiding sexual intercourse, sauna and swimming for a few days only.
3 treatments are recommended but 4 or even 5 may be needed depending on how annoying the symptoms and the degree of vaginal atrophy.
The results of this specific technique usually last for 2 to 3 years. This depends on many factors, such as the lifestyle of each woman. After 2-3 years, one more session is required to maintain the result.
