Laser Vaginal Tightening

Laser Vaginal Tightening

For laser vaginal tightening — a non-surgical procedure that is quite comfortable for patients — your physician must first examine you to determine whether laser tightening is a suitable option.

In particular, for women who have given birth and have significant damage to the perineal area, laser tightening or narrowing does not deliver the results women are hoping for.

We are aware that there is a lot of exaggerated messaging out there about laser vaginal tightening.

As a clinic, it matters greatly to us that the results of any aesthetic procedure match exactly what we tell and explain to our patients.

For any patient considering laser vaginal tightening, we explain in detail how much tightening can realistically be expected and whether it will meet the patient's expectations.

Laser is effective for vaginal tightening and rejuvenation, but it's very important that patients understand that laser alone — regardless of the number of sessions — should not be expected to work miracles.

For a woman who has had 2 or 3 vaginal deliveries, telling her that laser alone will restore the vaginal canal to its original tightness would only lead to disappointment.

Is laser vaginal tightening painful or dangerous?

Since laser vaginal tightening is not a surgical procedure, it carries virtually no risk, is very easy for the patient, requires no type of anesthesia, and is a painless, high-tech treatment.

What is the most significant change laser causes in the vagina?

One of its key features is increasing sexual arousal — it is sought out by women to enhance sexual pleasure, make orgasm easier to achieve, and increase its frequency.

How is laser vaginal tightening performed?

Laser vaginal tightening is performed on the gynecological examination table, in the standard examination position. It is typically completed within about 20 minutes.

When can I resume sexual activity after the procedure?

You can resume sexual activity approximately 7 to 15 days after the laser procedure.

Can other procedures be combined with vaginal tightening?

Yes. Laser vaginal tightening can be performed in the same session as other genital aesthetic procedures, such as hymenoplasty or labiaplasty.

How many sessions of laser tightening are needed?

For a suitable candidate, about 2 sessions of laser vaginal tightening are typically sufficient. There should be at least 1 month between sessions.
