Lotus Gyno Laser (Vaginal Laser)

The treatment stimulates the regeneration of important tissue structures that keep your vagina elastic, lubricated and healthy.

 

 

Vaginal Laxity and Atrophy

 

Vaginal Relaxation Syndrome (VRS) and Vaginal Atrophy are common problems for women. They can occur as a result of natural ageing, pregnancy and childbirth, natural or induced menopause, or any illness that interferes with normal female hormonal balance.

  • Vaginal Relaxation Syndrome is also described as laxity of the vaginal wall. The effect is a loss of friction during intercourse, and a reduction in sexual satisfaction for both partners.
  • Vaginal Atrophy describes the thinning of the wall of the vagina and a loss of lubrication in the vaginal mucosa. It can also have a profound effect on sexual function and quality of life for many women.
  • The vagina mucosa becomes thicker and softer, and elasticity and moisture content are restored.
  • Stress urinary incontinence, painful intercourse, vaginal itching, recurrent thrush and irritation symptoms are significantly reduced.
  • Benefits can be felt almost immediately, with further improvements for up to a month after treatment.

Does it really work and if so how does it work?

 

The treatment offered uses an advanced CO2 laser to help improve the tissue of the vaginal wall (both inner and the outer region). The result is tightening of the skin, stimulation of cell turnover which helps improve the moisture present and improve sensitivity. The increased thickness of the vaginal wall and the increased moisture helps reduce the discomfort that a lot of women suffer from.

  • We provide an initial complimentary consultation. During this, an extensive history is taken and any questions or concerns are addressed. It is important to have an up to date pap smear result
  • For most women you will need a series of two or three treatments about a month apart. After this an occasional treatment may be needed to maintain optimal results. This is approximately yearly for most women.
  • The treatment involves a hollow tubular handpiece that is inserted into the vaginal canal. From this the advanced laser emits highly focussed beams of light onto the vaginal wall and if treating the immediate area surrounding the outer parts of the vagina.
  • For most women there is minimal to no discomfort during the procedure. There can be some discomfort treating the labial skin (local anaesthetic gel is applied to help reduce this discomfort), however this is very brief.
  • The whole process takes approximately 15- 20 minutes. For many women it can be even less.
  • After the procedure the region may be more sensitive and some women do notice an increase in vaginal discharge for a few days.
  • There are certain activities including strenuous exercise that need to be avoided for the first few days after each treatment.
  • We have our own Gynaecologist, Associate Professor Raymond Hodgson

Most women start to notice positive effects approximately 4-6 weeks after the first treatment. Though many women report positive effects much sooner than this. This is because it takes time for the vaginal tissue to respond to the laser and start the rejuvenation process.

One treatment is not enough, for most women we advise 2 to 3 treatments one month apart to achieve noticeable positive longer lasting results. For some women depending on their concerns they may require more treatments.

For the majority of people treatment with the advanced Lotus Gynolaser are relatively comfortable. There can be some discomfort when treating the immediate outer vaginal skin (the labial area) but it is very short lived. Women are often very surprised on how tolerable the laser treatment is.

 

After the Treatment

 

The vagina including the labial region may be sensitive for a few days post treatment. You may want to gently pat the area dry for this time.
Wearing cotton underwear is preferable over synthetic products and avoid harsh soaps and other scented products over this time. It is ideal to avoid wearing very tight undergarments.
Avoid very strenuous exercise and hot baths over this time.

A full post procedure information sheet and instructions will be given at the time of treatment and always feel free to contact the clinic if you have any questions.
