For years there has been no reliable solution to counter thining of the wall of the vagina - until IntimaLase. IntimaLase makes it possible to tighten the vaginal walls with a non-invasive laser treatment.
What Is IntimaLase?
IntimaLase is a unique, efficient and non-invasive solution for vaginal relaxation and atrophy. This Er:YAG laser therapy is used for photothermal tightening of the vaginal canal. IntimaLase helps patients who experience Vaginal Relaxation Syndrome - a condition that has to do with overstretching of the vaginal canal during childbirth or as a result of natural aging.
IntimaLase - The Procedure
During the IntimaLase Procedure, a special non-ablative laser attachment similar to a speculum, which is used during a Pap test, is inserted into the vagina. Through this process, the vaginal region is treated with short laser pulses that tighten the vaginal tissue by stimulating collagen and synthesizing new collagen fibres in the vaginal tissue.
The Benefits Of IntimaLase
- Non-ablative, minimally invasive procedure
- 15-minute, non-surgical procedure
- Safer, faster and more patient-friendly procedure
- Tightened vaginal canal
- No downtime
- Increased sexual satisfaction
- Improvement in quality of life
Post-IntimaLase Effects
After completing a 15-minute procedure patients are permitted to leave and carry on with their daily routine pending some restrictions. It is common to experience some mild swelling, redness or transparent discharge in the first 3 days following the procedure. For the first two weeks following the procedure, it is important to avoid activities that increase pressure on the bladder and treatment area.
This means:
- Do not engage in sexual intercourse
- Avoid exercising or lifting weights
- Refrain from using tampons
- And any other restriction outlined by your healthcare provider
