Women’s genital tissues rapidly change throughout their life. Many factors contribute to that, including childbirth, age, and changes in hormones. These various shifts in lifestyle may bring some side effects that impact a woman’s overall health. Some of those side effects may include urinary incontinence, pain during sex, and dryness, to name a few. Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation can help fix those issues without requiring invasive surgery.
What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation?
This is a procedure that helps fix vaginal problems that women are experiencing by tightening the vagina as well as restoring the vaginal tissues. It can reshape the outer part of the vagina and make it look and feel tighter. Some women use this procedure for the cosmetic appeal it has, but it is useful to those women who need it for medical reasons.
Why Is Vaginal Rejuvenation Right For Me?
Childbirth is very trying on a woman’s body. The vagina is certainly impacted and many women wish to restore the look and feel of it. Some women may experience visual changes such as sagging or loose skin which may have an impact both physically and mentally. Besides the outward appearance, other symptoms may occur that affect daily activity, such as frequent urination, pain while having intercourse, dryness of the vagina.
Getting the procedure could be life-changing and help you with self-confidence and restore physical function as well. If you struggle with some of the issues mentioned here, then vaginal rejuvenation may be the right choice for you.
How Does It Work?
At Nore Health, we provide a non-surgical treatment called ThermiVa. During this procedure, we use heat from a radiofrequency or laser that goes directly on the vagina, both inside and out, attempting to encourage collagen to grow on its own. This will make the vagina tighter and help blood flow increase. This will help with having stronger orgasms and reduce urinary leakage.
Benefits Of Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation
Vaginal rejuvenation has two types of procedures that women can choose from: surgical and non-surgical. Each one has its benefits, but non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation is less invasive. Here are some benefits of getting non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation.
The treatment is quick. It’s normally fifteen minutes or less from start to finish.
- The results last long. Most patients don’t need another treatment for up to one year.
- Improvements in ailments are seen very soon. Patients have reported in one to two days they are seeing significant changes. It won’t be a hundred percent improvement at this point, but patients will continue to see more improvements over time.
- Sexual intercourse can resume the same day as the treatment is administered. Non-surgical treatments don’t require time off or any special restrictions.
- There are no needles or incisions to heal, which means no time off work. You can return to your daily routine as soon as the treatment is complete.
Treatment improves:
- Dryness of the vagina
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Urinary incontinence
- Increases sexual pleasure for both you and your partner
Cons Of Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation
As good as this treatment is for most women, it is not the right choice for every situation. That’s why you need to talk to a doctor about the right treatment for your specific situation. It helps with a lot of vaginal issues that plague women and it is a safe procedure, approved by the FDA. However, there are some cons to vaginal rejuvenation.
- Results don’t last forever.
- Reoccurring treatments are needed to continue to see the benefits of the treatment. It is recommended to get three treatments that are at least four weeks apart for the best results.
- Significant sagging or loose skin may not see improvements. If this is the problem, the better option may be to get surgery.
Why Is It Better Than Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Unless there is a lot of sagging, non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation is the better option. It allows the patient the ability to see improvements to the vagina without having to dedicate time to surgery. The patient can expect to be out of work for at least three to five days. Exercise is permitted for at least two weeks and sexual intercourse for a month.
Another thing to point out is that it is cosmetic, meaning an elective surgery, so insurance companies may not want to pay for it, arguing it is not a necessity. So, if the patient is paying out of pocket, a treatment that doesn’t involve anesthesia or incisions will be more cost-effective.
Most patients do not have any pain associated with the non-surgical procedure. With a surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment, doctors normally prescribe medication afterward due to the chance of the patient having pain, though the majority of the time the pain is very mild. However, no pain is better than a little pain.
One advantage that vaginal rejuvenation surgery has over non-surgical is how long the results last. The patient will have to continuously get treatments each year with a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment. The surgery option is meant to be life-long, without follow-up treatments thereafter. Both types of procedures are designed to improve the vagina. It’s just a matter of which one is best for them.
