A revolution has started, and women around the world are now taking back their right to feel good and to enhance their wellness. Innovative solutions for Gynecological wellness are becoming more accessible, helping to empower more women to feel good from the inside out. A leading pioneer of treatment solutions that is navigating the way through women’s wellness is Fotona. Fotona Lasers have been at the forefront of design for gynaecological laser treatments. Amongst the comprehensive suite of gynaecological treatments is their highly acclaimed IntimaLase treatment, which helps to address vaginal laxity, a condition that is often associated with embarrassment and worry. The ethos of Fotona is to provide clinically supported treatments that are safe and precise, and the gynaecological treatments are a testament to this. With expert treatments we can uphold patient comfort and dignity, helping to manage difficult-to-treat conditions with ease and confidence.
Understanding Gynecological Laser Treatments
Gynecological health is an important aspect of women’s health. The effects of gynaecological conditions such as urinary incontinence, vaginal laxity and vaginal atrophy can alter a woman’s quality of life. These conditions are often associated with childbirth and ageing, although they can occur due to genetics and other lifestyle factors. Although there is always a place for traditional treatments, there is often the downside of lengthy recovery times and complications. Many women are now seeking alternative methods to treat gynaecological concerns.
Fotona’s gynaecological laser treatments are non-surgical treatment alternatives that work to address these conditions and concerns. Laser energy is used to stimulate collagen production and remodeling, enhance mucosa tightness and improve overall vaginal health. These treatments are minimally invasive, require no anaesthesia or downtime, and provide a safe alternative to surgery and invasive methods. They are the perfect choice for a woman who has a busy lifestyle as she can return to her normal activities immediately post-treatment.
IntimaLase: A Revolution in Feminine Wellness
Many factors contribute to vaginal laxity throughout a woman’s life and perhaps the main one is vaginal childbirth. The over-stretching of the vagina can cause a reduction in the natural tightness of the vagina, this is referred to as vaginal relaxation syndrome. One of Fotona’s most loved gynaecological treatments is IntimaLase. This revolutionary treatment uses Fotona’s SMOOTH® mode Er:YAG laser technology to improve vaginal laxity and treat vaginal relaxation syndrome.
How IntimaLase Works
IntimaLase works by delivering Er:YAG laser energy to the vaginal tissue using Fotona’s highly esteemed SMOOTH® mode. This modality allows for the photothermic effects of Er:YAG laser without causing any damage to the mucosal tissue. The heat from the laser triggers collagen synthesis and remodeling, causing a tightening effect to the vaginal canal. The procedure is performed using a purpose build vaginal handpiece and is typically painless. Women can start to feel a difference from just one treatment session and improvements continue as the months pass.
Benefits of IntimaLase
Improved Vaginal Tightness: The muscle tone of the vaginal wall becomes enhanced and as a result patients tend to have better control over the vaginal wall. This creates a feeling of tightness.
Improved Sexual Satisfaction: The improvement in vaginal tightness can enhance sensation during intercourse for both partners.
Non-Surgical: There is no requirement for any incisions or sutures, which means no scarring.
No Downtime: Patients have the benefit of being able to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. This is hugely advantageous for women with busy lifestyles. It also means there is no requirement to use annual leave or holiday time to recover, making this treatment work around individual’s lives.
Fotona Laser for Women: Comprehensive Gynecological Solutions
In addition to IntimaLase, Fotona Laser has treatments available to address a wide scope of feminine health concerns:
1. IncontiLase for Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) can cause a little bit of embarrassment, however, it is a very common issue, particularly in women who are experiencing the menopause and those who have had a vaginal birth. IncontiLase is a great solution to treat mild to moderate SUI. It works by using SMOOTH® mode Er:YAG laser energy to target the vestibule and vaginal opening, this strengthens tissues supporting the bladder and reduces the symptoms of urinary leakage.
How IncontiLase Works
In a similar way to IntimaLase, the treatment utilises Fotona’s SMOOTH® mode to heat the tissues without causing any damage or scarring. The treatment differs from IntimaLase in where the energy is delivered. Targeted energy helps to strengthen vaginal tissue, improving the support of the bladder neck. The treatment is quick and comfortable, requiring a series of sessions. Patients can expect to see improvements in their symptoms after the first few sessions and full results are seen three months after the final session.
Benefits of IncontiLase
Non-Surgical: Traditional invasive surgeries such as sling procedures come with a range of risks and downtime. IncontiLase is a good alternative to treatments such as these, whilst still providing great results.
Quick and Convenient: The total time of the treatment is around 30 minutes and with no downtime, it can be done on a lunch break!
Safe and Effective: Fotona prides itself on its evidence base for treatment recent study has shown a significant improvement in SUI symptoms, without the damage that traditional CO2 lasers can cause. Making the treatment a safer and more effective alternative to other methods.
2. Renovalase for Vaginal Atrophy
Dryness, itching and pain during intercourse can all be symptoms of vaginal atrophy and genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). Renovalase as a treatment works using a gentle laser to help revitalise atrophic tissue, resulting in improved hydration, elasticity and vascularisation.
How Renovalase Works
The treatment optimises Fotona’s SMOOTH® mode Er:YAG wavelength, delivering controlled thermal energy into the vaginal mucosa. This energy triggers the production and restructuring of collagen fibres helping to restore the normal vaginal environment. The procedure is quick and comfortable, requiring no downtime.
Benefits of Renovalase
Restores Vaginal Health: The treatment helps to resolve concerns such as dryness and loss of elasticity. The result is improved moisture and overall vaginal health.
Non-Hormonal: This is a wonderful alternative for women who cannot or prefer not to use hormonal therapies. In particular, this treatment is appropriate for women with oestrogen-dependent cancers such as endometrial cancer and breast cancer.
Quick and Effective: Patients notice an improvement in symptoms after just a few sessions.
3. ProlapLase for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition and occurs when the muscles and tissues that support the pelvic organs weaken, causing them to drop out from their normal position. Fotona’s SMOOTH® mode is used to help target the pelvic floor to strengthen and support the structures. The treatment is a non-surgical alternative to invasive procedures for prolapse, helping to provide relief and improve quality of life.
How ProlapLase Works
The system of operation is similar to intimaLase and incontiLase, non-ablative SMOOTH® mode Er:YAG laser helps to stimulate collagen production and tighten pelvic tissues. The treatment can be performed in a comfortable clinic environment and has no requirement for stitches, incisions or lengthy exercises.
Benefits of ProlapLase
Non-invasive: The treatment doesn’t require any surgery, anaesthesia or sutures.
Safe and Painless: There is minimal discomfort throughout the procedure and the treatment is considered safe.
Effective: The treatment is effective at helping to restore normal pelvic function and alleviating symptoms of prolapse.
