HIFU for Vaginal Rejuvenation Overview:

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for Vaginal Rejuvenation is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound technology to promote tissue tightening and collagen production. This procedure has gained popularity due to its effectiveness, minimal downtime, and non-surgical approach.

How It Works:

• HIFU Technology: The treatment uses focused ultrasound waves to heat deeper layers of vaginal tissue, stimulating collagen synthesis and promoting tightening.

• Depth Targeting: The device targets specific layers of tissue without affecting the skin's surface.

• Collagen Production: The controlled thermal injury encourages the regeneration of collagen, resulting in improved tissue elasticity and structure.

 
Benefits of HIFU Vaginal Rejuvenation:

1. Tightening: Improved vaginal tone and tightness.

2. Stress Incontinence Relief: Can help reduce mild urinary leakage.

3. Increased Lubrication: Improved tissue quality may enhance natural lubrication.

4. Non-Surgical: No incisions, minimal downtime, and quick recovery.

5. Enhanced Sensitivity: Potential for improved sexual satisfaction.

 
Procedure Overview

• Duration: 30-45 minutes.

• Discomfort Level: Generally mild; some may experience slight heat or tingling.

• Downtime: Little to no downtime; many resume normal activities immediately.

• Results: Often noticeable after 4-6 weeks and can continue to improve over several months.

• Maintenance: Results typically last 12-18 months, depending on lifestyle and natural aging.

 
Potential Side Effects:

• Mild swelling or redness.

• Temporary discomfort.

• Rarely, slight spotting or discharge.

 
Who is a Candidate for the Procedure?

• Women experiencing vaginal laxity due to aging, childbirth, or hormonal changes.

• Those with mild stress urinary incontinence.

• Individuals seeking non-surgical vaginal tightening.

 
Contraindications:

• Undiagnosed cervical or vaginal lesions

• Urinary or vaginal tract infection

• Active genitourinary cancer

• Stage 2 pelvic organ prolapse (or greater)

• Pregnancy (we can safely perform the procedure at least 3 months after childbirth)

 

CO₂ Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Overview:

 

CO₂ Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation is a popular, minimally invasive treatment that utilizes fractional carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser technology to address a variety of vaginal concerns related to aging, childbirth, or hormonal changes.

How It Works:

• Fractional CO₂ Laser: This technology delivers precise laser energy to the vaginal walls.

• Controlled Thermal Injury: The laser creates micro-injuries in the tissue, stimulating the body's natural healing response.

• Collagen Stimulation: Promotes the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, improving tissue elasticity, thickness, and moisture levels.

 

Benefits of CO₂ Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation:

• Tightening: Restores vaginal tone and firmness.

• Improved Lubrication: Addresses vaginal dryness by stimulating the mucosal lining.

• Stress Incontinence Relief: Helps reduce mild to moderate urinary leakage.

• Enhanced Sexual Sensation: Improved tissue tone may enhance sexual satisfaction.

• Relief from Itching and Irritation: Beneficial for symptoms related to vaginal atrophy, often experienced during menopause.

 

Procedure Overview:

• Duration: 15-30 minutes.

• Discomfort Level: Minimal; some may feel a mild warming or tingling sensation.

• Anesthesia: Typically not required; a numbing cream may be applied.

• Downtime: Minimal; most patients can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours.

• Results: Improvement can be noticeable after 1-3 sessions, with optimal results seen over 2-3 months.

• Maintenance: Results typically last 12-18 months; annual maintenance treatments may be recommended.

 

Potential Side Effects:

• Mild Discomfort: Slight burning or stinging sensation post-procedure.

• Redness or Swelling: Temporary and resolves within a few days.

• Discharge: Mild spotting or watery discharge may occur for 2-3 days.

• Avoidance of Intercourse: Usually advised for 3-7 days post-treatment.

 

Who is a Candidate?

Women experiencing:

• Vaginal laxity due to childbirth or aging.

• Vaginal dryness or atrophy (common in menopause or post-hysterectomy).

• Mild to moderate urinary incontinence.

• Reduced sexual satisfaction due to decreased tissue elasticity.

 

Contraindications:

• Pregnancy or recent childbirth.

• Active infections (e.g., yeast infections, herpes outbreaks).

• Severe pelvic organ prolapse.
