Intimate plastic surgery and treatment of vaginal relaxation syndrome at «TOP Laser»

IntimaLase technology - laser vaginal rejuvenation.
This is a minimally invasive vaginal tightening procedure using an Er:YAG laser. This technology is based on the photothermal interaction of the laser with the vaginal mucosa. Controlled laser pulses deliver energy to the vaginal walls, causing the vaginal tissue to contract and contract. In addition, the process of neocollagenesis (collagen formation) is launched. Due to this, the flabbiness of the vagina is reduced, the tissues of which become stronger and more elastic.

Indications for the procedure:

• Atrophic colpitis.
• Vaginal relaxation syndrome.

Contraindications to the procedure:

• Complete or partial prolapse of the uterus.
• Pregnancy.
• Diabetes.
• Tumor diseases of the urogenital system.
• Herpes in the acute stage.
• Acute inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs.

What tests should be done before this procedure?

• Analysis of vaginal discharge.
• Scraping for oncocytology from the cervix.
• Ultrasound of the pelvic organs.

The statute of limitations for analyzes is no more than 14 days.

How many procedures are included in the treatment course?

• The course of treatment consists of two procedures. Between which you need to take a break of 15-30 days. You can return to sexual life 72 hours after the procedure.

The essence of the method. The procedure is based on the photothermal effect of the Er:YAG laser on the vaginal mucosa. Thermal effect on tissues - 60-63 ° C. Controlled laser pulses deliver energy to the walls of the vulva and vagina. This causes heating of the tissues and the collagen they contain. Since collagen is the basis of the vaginal tissue and provides its strength, elasticity, when the collagen is heated, its fibers become thicker and shorter. The laser-treated tissue contracts and shrinks, in addition, collagen reconstruction processes are launched in the tissues. Therefore, as a result of the procedure, the tissue is actively enriched with new collagen, the flabbiness of the vaginal muscles is reduced, and the symptoms of the vaginal relaxation syndrome are reduced.

The course of the procedure. The whole procedure consists of two phases. During phase 1, a laser reflector is inserted into the vagina, which allows you to control and direct the laser beam. After that, a maniple with a circular adapter is inserted into the vagina. The presence of a circular adapter makes it possible to emit an impulse at an angle of 360 degrees. Then the laser energy is directed to the walls of the vagina gradually along the entire length of the vaginal canal by pulling the laser handpiece out of the reflector. As a result, there is a thermal effect on the vaginal walls, the contraction of collagen fibers begins, as well as the reproduction of collagen in the tissues of the vagina.

Phase 2 begins with the removal of the circular adapter handpiece and laser reflector from the vagina. Further, the procedure is performed using a direct fractional laser handpiece. The energy of the fractional beam is directed to the region of the vestibule and the entrance to the cavity (in the amount of approximately 10 J for each treated area).

Medical criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the procedure:
After studies aimed at identifying the effectiveness of the IntimaLase treatment method, patients were given to fill out questionnaires containing questions about the results. Patients answered questions related to changes in vaginal elasticity, improved sensations during intercourse, as well as questions related to the level of sexual satisfaction.

After treatment, patients have a positive trend: a decrease and disappearance of symptoms of vaginal relaxation. The best result of treatment can be seen 3 months after the end of treatment.

Results of treatment using IntimaLase technology:

• 95% of patients confirmed an increase in vaginal firmness.
• 85% of patients (and their sexual partners) noted a strong increase in sensations during intercourse.
• More than 95% of patients noted an increase in sensitivity, and 51% of them confirmed that the orgasm became much brighter.
• Half of the patients found the procedure to be completely painless, while the other half noted very mild pain that disappeared immediately after the procedure.
