Keep Your Lasers Away From My Vagina

Unless your only labiaplasty surgeon is an alien and you’re living in an intergalactic space station suspended in the air, there shouldn’t be a need for laser treatment concerning vaginal rejuvenation. Yes, even in space, women can experience decreased vaginal tone and tightness, and/or related mild urinary incontinence.

While we might be a few years away from the space age, these issues are regularly experienced by women following childbirth or during the onset of menopause down here on earth. Regardless of the cause, symptoms may range from a marked decrease in sexual pleasure from things feeling “too loose,” to everyday physical discomfort.

For some, anxiety created by the need to be within sprinting distance of a restroom, or to wear bulging leak-proof “granny panties” can wreak havoc on your work and social life. Do you find yourself monitoring your liquid intake prior to conference calls? Have you nixed a romantic horseback ride on the beach at sunset (or even a roll in the hay)?

We don’t believe any woman should have to put up with these things. Extraterrestrial or not. We’re renowned Texas vaginal rejuvenation specialists and we’re here to help.

In recent years, some physicians have begun offering treatments for vaginal laxity and minor incontinence using a variety of laser devices and thermal appliances. It may come as a surprise that not a single one of these has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  Here are some of the concerns cited:

“In reviewing adverse event reports and published literature, we have found numerous cases of vaginal burns, scarring, pain during sexual intercourse, and recurring or chronic pain.”

From barcode scanners to missile defense and certain surgical procedures, laser technology continues to evolve. You may be familiar with laser resurfacing for the face, but keep in mind that your vaginal tissue is far more sensitive than the most delicate facial skin. Not only that, such unproven and potentially hazardous treatments have to be repeated in order to remain effective, with each treatment renewing the potential for harm. While some may be attracted to the price tag for laser therapy, remember the adage about getting what you pay for. What we don’t want to see is anyone getting more than they bargained for in terms of pain or permanent damage.

A safer and more permanent option for restoring your most private place is Vaginoplasty, the only proven procedure to make things snug again. (Your vagina has always been great).
