Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation includes procedures to address issues like laxity and incontinence caused by childbirth, aging and genetics.

About Vaginal Rejuvenation

Overview

Vaginal rejuvenation procedures aim to address laxity and incontinence caused by childbirth, aging, and genetics, improving both appearance and function.

Symptoms like dryness, decreased sexual satisfaction, and urinary incontinence can be alleviated, boosting confidence and self-esteem.

Both surgical and nonsurgical options are available for vaginal rejuvenation, with nonsurgical methods being noninvasive and requiring minimal recovery time.

These methods help tighten and tone the vaginal area without the need for needles or surgery, utilizing heat to stimulate collagen production and create firmer tissue in the vaginal area.

Advantages

Non-surgical methods of vaginal rejuvenation offer a non-invasive approach with minimal recovery time. These procedures aim to tighten and tone the vaginal area without the need for surgical intervention or injections. The process involves heating the superficial layers of vaginal tissue, stimulating the production of collagen and promoting the development of firmer tissue underneath.

Common non-surgical treatments include CO2 laser therapy, which heats the upper layers of vaginal tissue to trigger collagen production, resulting in improved skin firmness. Additionally, radiofrequency (RF) treatment employs electromagnetic waves to heat the vaginal tissue, enhancing blood circulation and collagen synthesis.

Notable brands offering these treatments include MonaLisa Touch®, FemTouch®, FemiLift®, FORMA V®, Fractora, Emsella®, IntimaLase, Juliet, Morpheus8 V, and ThermiVA®.

Both RF and laser procedures are typically performed in an office setting, and generally require minimal local anesthesia. Patients can often resume their daily activities immediately following the treatment without significant downtime.

Pros

Vaginal rejuvenation can:

Improve the tightness of your vagina.
Help with incontinence (leaking urine).
Increase lubrication and moisture.
Increase vaginal sensitivity and sensations.
Strengthen weak vaginal and pelvic muscles.
Improve painful intercourse.
Enhance the appearance of your vulvar area (labia, clitoris or vaginal opening).

Cons

Not all vaginal rejuvenation treatment has been proven safe or effective. There are several risks associated with vaginal rejuvenation:

Pain.
Bleeding.
Infection.
Scarring.
Painful sex (dyspareunia).

What to Expect

Non Surgical vaginal rejuvenation is painless and requires no anesthesia. Your provider may use a topical anesthetic if discomfort occurs. The treatment area may feel warm or like a bee sting during the procedure. You’ll need to refrain from sex or using tampons for three to five days.

Recovery

After undergoing a nonsurgical treatment, it is important to give your body time to heal before engaging in sexual activity. Doctors typically recommend waiting for a minimum of three to five days post-treatment before resuming sexual intercourse.

During this recovery period, it is essential to closely monitor for any signs of infection or excessive bleeding to ensure your safety and wellbeing.

In addition to refraining from sexual activity, it is also advised to avoid using tampons or inserting any objects into your vagina during this time.

By allowing your body the necessary time to heal and recover, you can help minimize the risk of complications and promote a successful outcome from your treatment.

Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions and guidelines for post-treatment care to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential risks.

Results

The outcomes will manifest gradually over a period of time, with observable changes typically becoming apparent approximately two weeks following the initial consultation.
Continued treatment will lead to an increase in the production of collagen and elastin within the body, resulting from the application of radiofrequency waves or CO2 to the intimate area.
Laser and RF treatments usually need to be repeated over several sessions.
Results are not permanent.

Safety Profile

The FDA has issued a warning regarding the lack of established safety and effectiveness for vaginal “rejuvenation” devices and aesthetic genitourinary applications, advising caution to physicians and manufacturers.
Reports of adverse events such as burns, dyspareunia, and pain have prompted the FDA to create a registry for better reporting.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Urogynecologic Society also emphasize the need for ongoing assessment of these devices to ensure safety.
It is crucial to thoroughly evaluate the provider and the experience with non surgical vaginal rejuvenation

Cost

The costs associated with nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation can fluctuate depending on factors such as the provider performing the procedure, the location where the treatment is administered, the specific type of treatment utilized, and the frequency of treatments required.

It is advisable to inquire with your provider the estimated cost of your particular treatment or the number of sessions needed during your consultation.

On average, the cost for a single session of nonsurgical vaginal tightening is approximately $1,000-1,200 per treatment session.
