I’ve been spending a lot of time in La Jolla lately with the opening of the new BODYROK in the heart of downtown La Jolla where there is an abundance of beauty services, med spas and cosmetologists near the studio. I’ve been reconsidering laser hair removal after quitting on it years ago because it was insanely painful!! I guess they have come a long way with the newer laser technology and I was considering getting back at it and stumbled across La Jolla Laser Clinic and Cosmetic Gynecology. During my consultation, I asked the doctor what was with the “Cosmetic Gynecology” part of their name. She told me that there were several options for women to address vaginal laxity, appearance and sexual satisfaction. I guess I have been living under a rock because I had no idea that beyond surgery, that “cosmetic gynecology” had become increasingly popular among women of all ages and that there were several non-surgical options. I figured if I was naive to this fact, probably because it’s not something women might readily share, that many of you might be unaware of what it is and why so many women are doing it! So..Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s interesting intel for women that doesn’t get talked about enough—vaginal rejuvenation and tightening. There are safe and effective ways to achieve this without surgery, and I’m here to enlighten you with what I have learned from my research on the subject.
Why Vaginal Tightening Is Popular
Many women experience vaginal laxity due to reasons like childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, and weight fluctuations. This can affect confidence, sexual satisfaction, and overall comfort. While surgical Vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, hymenoplasty, and clitoral hood reduction procedures are all typically performed as outpatient surgery, this is a far more invasive option and the recovery is significant when compared to the non-surgical options. While women that undergo the surgical route do experience improved appearance and a boost in sexual responsiveness, many concerns can be similarly addressed by going the non-surgical route as well.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Laser Treatments
- How It Works: Laser treatments use light energy to stimulate collagen production in the vaginal tissues, which helps in tightening and rejuvenating the area.
- Procedure Details: A laser probe is gently inserted into the vaginal canal. The laser delivers controlled pulses of energy to the inner layers of the tissue.
- Benefits: Boosts collagen, improves elasticity, and enhances moisture levels. There’s usually minimal discomfort and downtime.
- Effectiveness: Many women see noticeable results after one session, with optimal results after several treatments.
- Considerations: Not suitable for everyone, like pregnant women or those with specific medical conditions. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider.
Radio Frequency (RF) Treatments
- How It Works: RF treatments use electromagnetic waves to heat the deeper layers of vaginal tissue, promoting collagen and elastin production.
- Procedure Details: A handheld RF device delivers energy to the vaginal tissues, encouraging tightening and rejuvenation.
- Benefits: Enhances tightness, improves blood flow, and increases sensitivity. It’s a quick procedure with little to no downtime.
- Effectiveness: Noticeable improvements are often seen after one or two sessions, with the best results after a full course of 3 to 5 treatments.
- Considerations: Not recommended for those with implanted electronic devices or certain medical conditions. A healthcare provider’s advice is crucial.
The O-Shot®
Another nonsurgical solution is the O-Shot®, an injection treatment that uses your own blood sample to create a serum that’s enriched with a higher level of platelets. When injected around your clitoris and vagina, the O-Shot accelerates your natural regenerative systems in the surrounding areas, improving sexual sensitivity.
Why Women of All Ages Choose These Treatments
I assumed that most of Dr Siddiqui patients at La Jolla Laser and Cosmetic Gynecology were in their 40’s and older, but she told me that these non-surgical procedures were also popular amongst younger women as well. I was shocked but she explained that many women have discomfort or pain during intercourse or have issues with lack of sensitivity which can be treated by these non-surgical options. For her patients that had been through childbirth and were venturing toward menopause and beyond, the same treatments that help with pain or lack of sensitivity also help with lack of natural lubrication, bleeding after intercourse, or problems with the urinary tract, such as urge incontinence and burning sensations. Whether you’re dealing with changes due to aging, childbirth, or just looking to boost your confidence or sexual satisfaction, these treatments can be a game-changer. Here’s why:
Aging
As we get older, our bodies naturally go through changes. Hormone levels shift, and tissue elasticity decreases, which can lead to decreased vaginal tightness. Non-surgical treatments can help counteract these changes, helping you feel more like yourself again.
Convenience
Who wants to deal with downtime from your normal routine? Which is why many women turn to non-surgical treatments because they are generally quick and an easy addition to your self-care routine without a major time commitment.
Effectiveness
Both laser and RF treatments are clinically proven to provide significant improvements in vaginal tightness and overall vaginal health; while the O Shot helps specifically with sexual satisfaction. With any of these non-surgical treatments, you can expect real results that make a noticeable difference, depending on what you are looking to improve.
Health Considerations
Improving vaginal tone can also help with symptoms like mild urinary leakage and dryness, contributing to overall pelvic health. It’s not just about tightness; it’s about feeling healthy and comfortable.
Post-Childbirth
Many women experience vaginal laxity after childbirth due to the stretching of vaginal tissues during labor. Non-surgical treatments can help restore vaginal tightness and improve post-childbirth recovery.
Safety
These treatments are minimally invasive, with a low risk of complications compared to surgical options. It’s a safe way to achieve your desired results without the worries associated with surgery.
Sexual Satisfaction
Addressing vaginal laxity can significantly enhance sexual pleasure and intimacy for both you and your partner. I didn’t realize that this was such a big issue for many women but apparently it is and that is why women of all ages are tightening things up down there.
If you are interested in the subject further, definitely consult with a qualified healthcare provider to find the best treatment for your needs and enjoy the benefits of rejuvenated tissues without surgery. I was pretty impressed with all the THINGS that La Jolla Laser and Cosmetic Gynecology had to offer; like so many non-surgical procedures for just about every concern you can think of so definitely check them out if you live in San Diego.
