What is Laser Vaginal Tightening?

Laser vaginal tightening is one of the increasingly popular cosmetic gynecology procedures in recent years. Also known as vaginal rejuvenation, vaginal renewal, or vaginal rejuvenation, the procedure aims to rejuvenate the vagina by tightening it. Since it is not a surgical procedure, the risk rate is quite low. You can find everything you want to know about vaginal tightening in the rest of this article.

Why Laser Vaginal Tightening?

The vagina can weaken and widen over time due to childbirth, gynecological procedures, aging, menopause, and sexual intercourse. This is more common in smokers and individuals with weak collagen connective tissue elasticity. In laser vaginal tightening, a laser is applied to the vagina to increase blood flow. Simultaneously, the laser stimulates existing collagen connective tissue and promotes the synthesis of new collagen connective tissue. All of this helps to tighten the vagina. Laser vaginal tightening is a low-risk procedure. Unlike vaginoplasty, it tightens the entire vagina, not just the entrance. Laser vaginal tightening can be performed on women experiencing orgasm problems and sexual dissatisfaction, as well as those with advanced vaginal widening, bladder prolapse, or bowel prolapse.

How is vaginal tightening performed with laser?

During laser vaginal tightening, the patient lies in a supine position on a gynecological examination table. The procedure does not require local or general anesthesia, and since there is no surgical incision, there is no risk of infection. During laser vaginal tightening, a laser probe is inserted into the vagina, and the entire vagina is scanned both horizontally and vertically. These scans create a tightening effect on the vagina, helping to rejuvenate it. Fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) and erbium YAG (er:YAG) lasers are generally used in vaginal tightening procedures.
After laser vaginal tightening, the patient can immediately return to daily activities. A slight pinkish, watery discharge is normal after the procedure. Sexual intercourse is usually safe starting 7 days after the procedure. The effects of laser vaginal tightening surgery begin to show approximately one month after the procedure.
