Aesthetic medicine is developing and continues to be introduced into various industries. Laser skin rejuvenation or correction procedures have become familiar to the fair sex.
Today this type of rejuvenation is used in the gynecological field... Many clinics carry out the procedure for laser rejuvenation of the vaginal muscles, positive reviews about which are filled with women's forums.
Laser equipment is widely used in most areas of medicine. This is due to its ability to have a positive effect on tissues. The negative consequences and trauma of using the method are minimized in comparison with surgical intervention. These properties are especially important when it comes to such an intimate area as a woman's vagina.
There are two known types of laser rejuvenation of female genital organs, depending on the area of exposure:
- laser rejuvenation of the vagina;
- laser rejuvenation of the vulva.
The name of the species speaks about the field of application of laser equipment. Its action is based on improving metabolism in connective tissues. In addition to the cosmetic effect, the rejuvenation of the vagina also has a therapeutic effect. Restoration of muscle tone helps with problems of stress urinary incontinence, prevention of wall prolapse.
The use of a laser in the vulva area is more aimed at restoring the aesthetics of the shape, color of the labia, and the entire area as a whole. If necessary, specialists can carry out two procedures in turn.
Laser rejuvenation of the vagina (reviews can be found on women's forums), in turn is divided into two more types, depending on the cause of the pathology:
- laser vaginoplasty for vaginal relaxation;
- laser vaginoplasty of vaginal wall prolapse 1/2 degree of severity.
This definition is a procedure for exposing the vaginal tissue with a laser using specialized equipment. The laser provokes an instantaneous contraction of collagen fibers and stimulates the body to produce a protein responsible for the elasticity and firmness of tissues.
The procedure improves the quality characteristics of the connective tissue in this area. Experts note the high efficiency of this method of vaginal plastic surgery among the other gentle ways to eliminate the problem.
Prices for the procedure of laser vaginal rejuvenation vary from 18 to 35 thousand rubles.
The cost of the procedure is influenced by many factors:
- equipment cost (device model);
- specialist qualifications (experience);
- the level of the clinic (service, maintenance, conditions);
The number of procedures depends on the degree of the disease, the characteristics of the reaction to the procedure of the body and individually for each patient. Specialists in the field of gynecology recommend at least 2 procedures to consolidate the result.
Advantages and disadvantages
Laser rejuvenation of the vagina (reviews of patients are often positive) appeared on the medical services market not so long ago. In women's forums, this procedure causes a lively discussion.
Despite the novelty of using the laser method in gynecology, it has gained a lot of fans.This is due to the numerous positive aspects in comparison with the surgical method.
A list of the main pros and cons are presented in the table:

The procedure of laser vaginoplasty takes place without introducing the patient into anesthesia and does not involve tissue dissection. This means that the recovery period does not require stationary observation.
Indications
Any medical procedure is carried out as directed by a doctor after consultation and examination. In the process of life, the female reproductive system is constantly amenable to the influence of various mechanical, hormonal, age-related negative factors.
This can result in various pathological conditions:
- loss of elasticity of the tissues of the vagina;
- stretching of tissues;
- age-related changes;
- low muscle tone;
- urinary incontinence;
- low sensitivity of the mucous membrane;
- dryness of the vagina;
- birth defects.
Among women, there is a myth that the causes of the listed problems can only be a hectic lifestyle, venereal and other serious diseases.
This statement is not entirely true, the list of reasons is much wider:
- congenital anomalies of connective tissue elasticity;
- difficult labor or their number;
- constant lifting of excessive weights;
- hormonal disruptions;
- aging of the body.
Experts note that most often their patients are young women after childbirth and women 40-45 years old during menopause.
This statistics is explained by the problems in intimate life arising against the background of developing pathology. Vaginal dryness caused by age and menopause can cause discomfort during intercourse.
Loss of vaginal elasticity, getting into the air cavity, stress urinary incontinence, loss of vulvar aesthetics significantly reduce a woman's satisfaction with herself. In most such cases, it is possible to correct the situation or get rid of it altogether thanks to the use of laser plastics.
Contraindications
Laser rejuvenation of the vagina, according to the reviews of patients and specialists, is a gentle procedure.
If we compare the laser method and the surgical one, it becomes obvious that the list of contraindications is much smaller and includes the following pathologies:
- pregnancy;
- recent birth;
- lactation period;
- diabetes;
- inflammatory processes;
- infections;
- herpes (acute stage);
- oncological foci;
- STDs and sexually transmitted diseases.
Pelvic organ prolapse of the 3rd degree is also considered a contraindication for laser vaginoplasty. With a high degree of probability, with such a severity of the disease, laser exposure will not give the expected effect. With this form, not only the tissues of the vagina are displaced, it is possible for the uterus itself to prolapse, displacement of the bladder and other pelvic organs.
The use of a laser in medicine is due to its gentle action with high efficiency. The statistics of its use show the minimal risks of complications and effects on the human body. The absence of the need for any anesthesia makes the laser vaginoplasty procedure available to almost every woman.
What examinations need to be done
Vaginal plastic surgery with a surgical method has a more extensive list of contraindications. Therefore, more examinations will be needed to exclude complications in the patient. Laser rejuvenation of the vagina (reviews, recommendations of specialists can be read on the websites of clinics) does not require countless examinations.
In addition to the initial consultation with a gynecologist, the list of necessary examinations is limited to the following manipulations:
- ultrasonography;
- smear for cytology and flora;
- bacteriological culture;
- PCR research;
- General blood test.
According to the results of ultrasound studies, a specialist may have doubts related to the structure of tissues. To exclude the presence of tumor and other changes, the gynecologist may prescribe additional examinations.
Training
An important point in preparation is planning the date of the procedure. Experts recommend doing it in the first half of the menstrual cycle. This is due to the fact that secretions of various structures can interfere with the passage of laser beams to tissues. The effect of their influence is significantly reduced, hence the result.
During the procedure, the woman feels warmth, sometimes a slight burning sensation. The vaginal tissues are warmed up at this moment. The mucous membrane receives a minor burn, which temporarily weakens its protective functions.
The remaining time will allow the tissues to recover before the onset of menstruation, and the patient to avoid discomfort. Preparation on the day of the procedure is limited to basic hygiene of the intimate area.
In case of chronic diseases, constant medication or undergoing treatment, at the time of planning the procedure, it is necessary to notify the attending physician and the gynecologist (performing vaginoplasty). Certain medications can affect the ability of tissues to regenerate.
Operation step by step
At the moment, laser vaginoplasty is carried out only in private clinics. The definition of "operation" is used rather as a term for this procedure. In fact, this is more of a medical manipulation.
Its step-by-step implementation consists of the following stages:
- The patient is placed on a gynecological chair with legs wide apart.
- The vulva and the area around it are treated with an antiseptic.
- The doctor uses a medical swab to dry the vagina.
- After removing the secretions, the laser nozzle is inserted into the cavity.
- Gradually removing the attachment of the apparatus, the required area is processed by the laser. The action is repeated in all areas requiring plastics.
- If necessary, after treating the vagina, the doctor changes the nozzle and treats the vulva area.
- After the end of the procedure, the area is treated with an antiseptic without alcohol.
According to some reviews of patients, the procedure for draining the vagina can cause discomfort due to friction and a feeling of dryness of the mucous membranes. In the process of laser exposure, the patient may feel warmth and vibration, in rare cases, a slight burning sensation.
Some models of devices are equipped with a special expander. It is inserted into the cavity in front of the laser tip and acts as a guiding instrument. The tip moves inside the expander like a piston, which significantly reduces irritation of the dry cavity from friction.
Recovery and rehabilitation after
The restoration of tissues exposed to the laser takes 4-6 days, depending on the characteristics of the organism. The rehabilitation period implies adherence to precautions and hygiene.
It is necessary to exclude:
- sexual intercourse;
- use of tampons;
- the use of vaginal gels and suppositories;
- taking baths, visiting saunas;
- lifting weights, playing sports.
The use of solutions for douching and other medications is possible only as directed by a gynecologist. At the end of the rehabilitation period, the specialist who performed the procedure will prescribe a scheduled appointment to control healing.
How long will the result last
There is a lively discussion about the effectiveness of this method in women's and medical forums. The method is quite new and has its supporters and opponents.The main reason for negative reviews is the lack of professionalism of some doctors. The procedure is effective, but it can help a category of patients whose pathology has certain characteristics.
There are many factors that matter:
- causes of occurrence;
- the severity of the defect;
- the ability of tissues to regenerate;
- compliance with restrictions after plastic surgery;
- way of life.
Inexperienced doctors, with the aim of making a profit, prescribe the procedure to everyone, which ultimately affects the reputation of the method badly.
You can feel a significant difference after the second procedure.
The full effect is usually achieved after the third session and includes the following changes:
- moisturizing of the mucous membrane improves;
- the walls of the cavity are strengthened;
- getting rid of stress urinary incontinence;
- tissue blood circulation improves;
- the shape of the vagina is restored;
- sensitivity increases.
Each session of laser plastic surgery of the intimate zone is scheduled with a gap of at least 30 days. This is due to the need for complete restoration of the mucous membranes and the menstrual cycle. However, in the case of a longer break, the course will have to start over. A complete course is considered, consisting of 3 procedures. This indicator is average and can be adjusted by the attending physician.
The approach of experienced specialists is based on the individual characteristics of the patient and a complete history. It is the high qualifications of the doctor (experience) and the uniqueness of the equipment that affect the cost of the procedure. The result of professionalism is a large number of satisfied patients and their life partners.
The duration of the result can vary from 6 months to several years. This gradation is due to the factors already listed earlier that affect efficiency. Therefore, this indicator is individual for each case.
You can prolong the result with a set of exercises for pumping up the muscles of the vagina (as recommended by a doctor), a correct lifestyle (nutrition, moderate exertion, a healthy sex life, regular medical examinations).
The attending physician will help develop a comprehensive scheme for restoring and maintaining the youth of the vagina using various techniques, drugs, muscle training exercises.
Possible complications
Laser rejuvenation of the vagina (reviews of complications are rare) is a fairly new method of plastic surgery.
The world medical community is discussing the following possible complications of laser exposure to the vagina:
- burn of the mucous membrane;
- scarring of tissues;
- pain syndrome;
- minor spotting.
However, to date, there are no studies confirming the negative effects of the laser. There is no statistics showing the percentage of complications after the procedure. The few negative reviews in the majority reflect dissatisfaction with the result, doctor, clinic, cost.
It is worth noting that many women, given the intimacy of this issue, often postpone its solution. This is a key complication factor. The result of delay is the need for surgical intervention. Specialists in the field of gynecology urge patients to undergo regular examinations of the female reproductive system.
Early identification of the problem will make it possible to follow the dynamics of its development. According to medical women, using a set of exercises and laser rejuvenation of the vagina, you can prevent more serious pathologies, such as prolapse of the pelvic organs. Prolapse of the uterus can threaten a woman with its removal and complete loss of reproductive function.
