The toll aging takes on our bodies is not restricted to just visible areas like the face and hands. The vagina can also change over time, due to childbirth and other factors that lead to stretching of the vaginal walls and loss of muscle tone. This can impact you functionally as well as cosmetically, as you may notice vaginal irritation, loss of sexual satisfaction and urinary incontinence. At the same time, the cosmetic changes to the vagina can make you self-conscious during intimacy, negatively affecting your relationship with your partner.
Today, Vaginal Rejuvenation is available through a non-surgical treatment now performed by Dr. Lively. This procedure uses laser energy to tighten up the vagina, reversing those changes and relieving the uncomfortable symptoms that often accompany them.
What is Vaginal Rejuvenation Laser Treatment?
Vaginal Rejuvenation laser treatment addresses the changes that can occur to the vagina as a result of childbirth, hormone fluctuations and age, without anesthesia or a recovery period afterward. A laser device delivers laser energy directly into the vagina, which stimulates collagen and elastin production to tighten the area and restore the vagina to a more youthful state once again. The procedure offers long-lasting results, as the body’s processes kick in to maintain the healthier condition of the vagina. Laser devices to treat vaginal atrophy were approved for use in the U.S. about three years ago, but the use of lasers for cosmetic purposes has been around much longer than that. Laser rejuvenation of skin and tissue is both safe and effective, due to the laser’s ability to generate collagen and elastin production in the deeper dermal structure. Now, the technology is showing advantages in vaginal rejuvenation as well.What are the benefits?
