Another topic I am always being asked about is laser vaginal rejuvenation. This topic is still fairly new and rarely talked about in Malaysia as many still consider it a taboo or are too shy to talk about it. However with the advances in technology that we have nowadays I feel it my responsibility to share this knowledge with you.
It is undeniable that with age and childbirth, there are setbacks that a woman's body will experience. These setbacks can affect a woman physically and also mentally which will dampen their quality of life.
When we talk about vaginal tightening , it not only helps elevate your sexual experience BUT it will also help improve other associated issues including improving the pelvic floor strength. This will help women regain the confidence that may have been lost along the way.
Here at Dream Clinic we offer you a safe and comfortable treatment which will awaken your feminine sensuality and help you regain your confidence using a revolutionary non invasive and non surgical procedure that is customized based on your individual concerns. This procedure is known as Fotona’s IntimaLase.
WHAT IS FOTONA’S INTIMALASE ?
IntimaLase is a unique Er:YAG laser therapy with proprietary “Smooth-mode” for non-ablative, incisionless and non-invasive photothermal tightening of the vaginal canal. Clinical studies have shown that IntimaLase is not only an efficient and easy-to-perform procedure but a safe one too.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
A small probe is inserted into the vaginal canal. Thermal energy is then produced by Laser which will be emitted from the probe and gently targets the vaginal mucosal tissue. This will stimulate collagen remodeling and the synthesis of new collagen fibers in the vaginal mucosa tissue and collagen-rich endopelvic fascia. The final result of collagen neogenesis and remodeling is tightening of the vaginal canal.
WHAT PROBLEMS DOES IT HELP WITH?
Vaginal relaxation syndrome is a condition where the vagina becomes loose and slowly loses the optimum structural form. This condition is generally associated with overstretching of the vaginal canal during childbirth as well as with natural aging.
Laser vaginal rejuvenation will help :
Women that experience a decrease in sensation and stimulation during intercourse.
Women with gaping vaginal opening.
Women that notice that tampons usually slip out easily or during intercourse.
Women with vaginas that produce “gas-like” sounds during intercourse or “popping” sounds while walking.
Women with vaginal dryness, lack of moisture or pain during intercourse.
Women that have frequent itching or burning sensation of the vulva.
Women with stress urinary incontinence, leakage of urine during coughing, sneezing or laughing.
