At La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic, we address a wide variety of age-related concerns, including vaginal atrophy. This condition is characterized by frustrating symptoms such as accidental urine leakage, vaginal dryness, painful sex, or sex that has lost is spark due to lack of sensation. It is not possible for a woman to go through life utterly unaffected by childbirth and shifting hormones. It is, however, possible for a woman to restore her passionate side with appropriate vaginal rejuvenation
Vaginal rejuvenation is not new; cosmetic surgeons have been reshaping labia and tightening vaginal canals for years. What is new is the ability to work with Mother Nature to induce a natural process through which collagen is remodeled. Like the skin elsewhere on the body, the tissue that lines the vagina relies on healthy, strong collagen fibers for firmness and, yes, even lubrication.
Why would you want to have non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation? Because there’s no surgery involved, of course! But there’s more:
- Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation usually takes less than an hour. Treatment is so comfortable that you just might leave our office and feel like grabbing a bite or taking a walk down to the cove.
- Firmer vaginal tissue can translate into better bladder control. Listen, no one understands the horrors of stress urinary continence like a woman who has experienced a leak or two. If anything would make you look forward to those Kegels, it’s urinary incontinence. We won’t downplay the benefits of pelvic floor exercise of any kind, but we will say that the combination of thermal vaginal rejuvenation and focused exercise is a powerhouse in more ways than one.
- Firmness and lubrication are the building blocks of good sex. We have come to a place in history where it is much more common for women to honor their sexuality and ask for what they want. This can be frustrating for the woman who feels like her body is not on her side. One of our gentle thermal treatments is all it takes to start seeing a difference in the sensations felt during sex, and even beforehand.
- How can a rejuvenated vagina make foreplay better? By giving you back your mojo! Every woman knows that mindset is an integral aspect of good sex. When the body doesn’t respond with natural lubrication, a woman may struggle to feel sexy. She may start to avoid sex, especially if the act has also become painful.
