Especially as women reach perimenopause and menopause, vaginal tissue laxity and dryness can become adverse events. Past childbirth, simple aging and time, and of course hormonal changes can lead to stress urinary incontinence, pain during sexual intercourse, lack of sexual function/pleasure, and other problems.
So, does vaginal rejuvenation work to treat these issues? The answer is: In most cases, yes!
Vaginoplasty (vaginoplastia), vaginal laser treatment, and other vaginal rejuvenation procedures can all help. With that said, finding the right non surgical or surgical vaginal rejuvenation option for you is what’s most important.
What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Vaginal rejuvenation treatment refers to a variety of procedures designed to improve the function and appearance of the vaginal area. Many women seek these treatments due to hormonal changes, aging, childbirth, or genetics.
Options range from surgical vaginal rejuvenation to non-surgical energy-based treatments, each addressing concerns like vaginal laxity, dryness, and stress urinary incontinence.
How Vaginal Rejuvenation Helps with Dryness and Laxity?
Vaginal rejuvenation procedures focus on restoring vaginal tissue health and muscle tone. But does vaginal rejuvenation work? Some treatments tighten the vaginal opening and vaginal canal, improving sensation during sexual intercourse. Others stimulate blood flow and collagen production, reducing vaginal dryness and enhancing overall vaginal function.
Your surgeon will cater your procedure to your unique concerns, whether that’s dryness, laxity, something else, or many issues at once.
Vaginal Rejuvenation Options
Several options are available if you are interested in vaginal rejuvenation. But does vaginal rejuvenation work? It is important to meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this area of plastic surgery before making your final decision.
Your surgeon will ask you about your medical history, give you a short physical exam, and talk to you about your concerns (pain points) and goals before recommending the best option(s) for you. This consultation will help determine how well vaginal rejuvenation works for your specific needs.
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Laser vaginal rejuvenation uses laser devices to heat and stimulate the vaginal wall. This promotes collagen growth, improving vaginal tightening and lubrication. The procedure is non-invasive and typically performed in-office with minimal discomfort. Many women notice increased sexual satisfaction and relief from vaginal symptoms like dryness and laxity after a few sessions.
CoreIntima Vaginal Rejuvenation
CoreIntima is a vaginal laser treatment that helps with vaginal tightening and urinary incontinence. It works by delivering controlled heat to the vaginal tissue, encouraging collagen formation and improving elasticity. The treatment is quick and does not require general anesthesia. Results develop over time as the vaginal muscles and vaginal wall regain strength.
The O-Shot
The O-Shot is an injectable vaginal rejuvenation treatment that enhances sexual function and increases vaginal lubrication. Using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the patient’s own blood, it stimulates tissue regeneration in the vaginal area. Women who receive the O-Shot often report more sensation during penetrative intercourse and improvement in stress urinary incontinence.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the labia minora by removing excess tissue. It can improve comfort, self esteem, and vaginal appearance. Some women choose labiaplasty to reduce irritation from clothing, while others seek it for cosmetic reasons. The procedure requires plastic surgery expertise and is typically performed under local or general anesthesia.
ThermiVa RF Vaginal Rejuvenation
ThermiVa uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production in the vaginal canal and vaginal opening. This non-surgical treatment tightens vaginal tissue, enhances lubrication, and can reduce symptoms of stress urinary incontinence. Many women choose ThermiVa because it requires no downtime, and results can be noticeable within weeks.
Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation
Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation includes a range of energy-based treatments designed to improve vaginal symptoms. These treatments can address vaginal laxity, vaginal dryness, and urinary incontinence without requiring surgical procedures. Options such as laser therapy and radiofrequency treatments provide a minimally invasive way to restore comfort and sexual function.
FAQs: Vaginal Rejuvenation
How much does vaginoplasty cost?
The cost of vaginoplasty varies depending on the surgeon, location, and extent of the surgery. Surgical vaginal rejuvenation is often customized to each patient’s needs, making it difficult to give an exact price without a consultation. Many plastic surgeons offer financing options to help patients manage the cost of treatment.
Is vaginal rejuvenation painful?
Pain levels depend on the type of procedure chosen. Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation options like laser therapy and radiofrequency treatments are generally well-tolerated with little to no discomfort.
Surgical options, such as vaginoplasty or labiaplasty, involve some pain during recovery, but pain medication and proper aftercare can help manage discomfort effectively. Talk to your surgeon about your options for treating pain and discomfort.
Can vaginal rejuvenation improve urinary incontinence?
Yes, certain vaginal rejuvenation procedures can help with urinary incontinence. Treatments like ThermiVa and CoreIntima strengthen the vaginal muscles and improve bladder support, reducing stress urinary incontinence symptoms.
