For many women, vaginal changes that occur with pregnancy and menopause may seem like a normal but rather bothersome side effect of aging. Despite the significant effect it can have on a woman’s sex life and day to day functioning, many women do not realize there are treatment options available. Fortunately, symptoms of vaginal dryness, mild incontinence, and mild vagina looseness can be treated with minimally invasive laser technology.
Through our partners we at Austin Labiaplasty and Vaginal Rejuvenation are pleased to offer both the Femilift and Mona Lisa Touch which treat both the superficial and deeper layers within the vaginal tissue. The laser works by stimulating the growth of collagen and elastin which helps to restore the normal vaginal tissue. These treatments help stimulate elasticity within the vaginal walls which leads to overall tightening of the tissue and also increases vaginal moisture. This technology allows for minimal downtown and minimal to no discomfort during and after procedures.
