Non-surgical Vaginal Tightening Serving San Antonio, Seguin, TX

Non-surgical vaginal tightening is a procedure that is commonly used on those with vaginas to improve both the appearance of the labia as well as treat several physical concerns that they may be experiencing. The procedure stimulates increased collagen production to encourage firmer tissue to develop in the area treated, allowing for significant toning and tightening results in the vaginal area without needing any surgical procedures or needles.

Some of the benefits that are provided from non-surgical vaginal tightening include:

–  Reducing the appearance of loose skin around the vagina
– Increased libido and comfort during penetrative sex
– Increased sensation to the area
– Increased control of urine leaking when sneezing, laughing, or jumping
– Increased confidence and self-esteem
– Strengthened pelvic floor muscles
– Increased moisture and lubricant

There are two common procedures that are non-surgical vaginal tightening treatments; CO2 laser treatment and RF (radiofrequency treatment). Both options yield fairly similar results of tightening and toning the vaginal area by heating the top layers of the targeted tissues to stimulate increased production of collagen. Both options also have a very similar procedure, using a handheld wand-like device placed either just inside the vagina or being guided across the external genitalia, the top of which has either the laser or RF energy that is activated and heating up the targeted tissues. The entire treatment itself takes around 30 minutes to complete and should not be causing any significant discomfort. It is possible to have a numbing cream applied to the area if the patient is particularly sensitive to the heat radiating off of the device, but in most cases the procedure will resemble mild heating of the area.

Just like with all other areas of the body, our skin starts to decrease in structure, firmness, and tightness as we age due to a decreased production of collagen and elastin. This is the case for the skin and tissues present around the vagina as well, with many patients finding that the increased laxity starts to impact their ability to stop urine leakage or gets in the way of enjoying intimacy. Since there are these non-surgical options available, vaginal tightening can be performed on a much wider range of patients. A good candidate for non-surgical rejuvenation will be experiencing pain or discomfort, reduced pleasure, and reduced sensation during intercourse, regularly suffering from discomfort or irritation in the vaginal area, suffers from urinary incontinence (particularly when laughing, sneezing, running, or jumping), and is unhappy with the appearance of their vagina due to skin laxity. This treatment should not be performed on anyone that is currently breastfeeding or pregnant or who is not knowledgeable regarding the reasonable results that can be expected from the procedure. It is the responsibility of the procedure provider to ensure that each patient is aware of and understands any associated potential risks and has reasonable expectations regarding the results that can be provided from the procedure before it is performed.

Even though this treatment is non-surgical and carries very few risks, it is being performed on a fairly sensitive area so patients should be knowledgeable about the treatment along with likely expectations and possible risks that are associated with the procedure. These procedures are commonly sought out following childbirth to help restore tightness or structure that may have been lost due to childbirth, so one of the biggest things patients should consider is they are planning on having children, as it may be worth just postponing the procedure until the patient is done having children to ensure any achieved results are not compromised. Patients should also know that the no-surgical options are definitely safer and are very effective, but the results that can be achieved through these treatments will not be as dramatic as what is achievable through the surgical options, and may not be as long-lasting either. It is also common for patients to require multiple treatments in order to achieve the results that they desire.
