Fractional CO2 laser treatment has been widely used in the field of plastic surgery – for example, laser beauty of skin resurfacing is not uncommon. In the previous article we have learned in detail about fractional co2 laser beauty of the face. However, the vaginal mucosa is completely different from the skin tissue. The water content of the vaginal mucosa is much greater than that of the skin, and the water will absorb and weaken the effect of the carbon dioxide laser. The vaginal mucosa is extremely delicate and much thinner than the skin, so the general degree of laser vaporization will lead to the risk of scarring. Lasers used for vaginal treatments require more energy than those used on the skin, but at the mean time, the laser can not go too deep into the vaginal mucosa. Therefore, laser instruments for private treatment have high requirements for professional performance. Let’s take a closer look at the function of laser vaginal tightening.
Background
As women age, they not only face the problem of loose skin, but also vaginal laxity and aging. The secretion of female hormones gradually decreases, the loss of collagen continues to accelerate, and the vaginal epidermis and submucosa gradually become thinner.Millions of women suffer the frustrating yet common conditions of vaginal dryness, itching, and burning. As a result, women may experience painful intercourse, issues of vaginal lubrication, vaginal atrophy, and urinary incontinence.
What is the reason about that?
1.Natural aging
None of us can flight against the time though we are trying to enjoy the moment.The laxity and aging of vagina is unavoidable along with the ageing.Usually, starting from the age of 40, the natural aging process of the private parts of women begins to accelerate, the ovarian function gradually decreases, the amount of estrogen decreases, the muscle tone decreases, the mucous membrane atrophies, and the vagina becomes loose, dry, and lacks elasticity.
2. Excessively frequent sex life
Generally speaking, the longer the sexual history, the longer the vagina has been used. Aging and relaxation will occur under frequent stretching, resulting in vaginal relaxation and wideness, reduced irritation response, and reduced vaginal wall exudation, which may directly affect the quality of sexual life.
3.Fertility
Pregnancy and childbirth, including abortion, medical abortion, etc., will cause vaginal expansion and weakened elasticity, as well as pelvic muscle relaxation, and even stretch the inner wall of the vagina, making the vagina no longer tight.
4.Excessive cleaning
Blind pursuit of private parts cleanliness and repeated excessive washing of the vagina will lead to the destruction of the vaginal microenvironment in the long run, and the beneficial bacteria in the body will not be able to survive, causing vaginal dryness. The private parts will be in a state of “water shortage” for a long time, and will easily age.
5.Unbalanced diet
Being overly picky or blindly picky about food may cause insufficient nutrient supply to the body, leading to a lack of vitamins, proteins, and trace elements. Especially when vitamin B2 is lacking, it may cause dryness of the vaginal wall, congestion of the mucous membrane, and even ulceration.
How Fractional CO2 vaginal tightening work?
A probe is inserted into the vagina and optically splits a laser beam into a series of very small dots that are aimed at the inside wall of the vagina. At the point of contact, the laser dot removes a tiny area of tissue. This creates a microscopic pinhole about the size of the diameter of a human hair. As the body repairs itself, it stimulates cells to create new healthy tissue at the site of the dot and immediately surrounding it. The laser also heats the area between the dots, stimulating the activity of specialised cells that create elastin and collagen (the scaffolding components of healthy tissue) which result in vaginal tightening and hydration.
Function
Fractional co2 laser vaginal tightening is a mature technology for pelvic floor repaire,with the advatnages of non-invasive,no surgery, no bleeding, no side effects, and no downtime. Using the microvascular stimulation effect of fractional CO2 laser to increase cell oxidation and nutrients, a large number of fibroblasts synthesize and secrete collagen fibers, elastic fibers, reticular fibers and organic matrix, thickening the vaginal wall, tightening and activating the vagina. Women’s ability to repair themselves.
The treatment acts on the vaginal mucosa and muscle layer, stimulating the regeneration of fibroblasts in the lamina propria and muscle layer of the mucosa, remodeling damaged collagen fibers, elastic fibers, etc., thickening the vaginal wall, tightening the vagina, and improving vaginal function. Firmness, sensitivity and lubrication are significantly enhanced.
Postoperative effect
After surgery, the muscle ring can be tightened to improve the contraction function of the muscles, quickly restore vaginal tightness and increase sensitivity. In addition, it can also stimulate the internal self-repair system of the vagina, regenerate new and tender cells, improve dryness, promote the secretion of vaginal mucus during sex, and ensure that the vagina is moist and tender. It effectively eliminates pigmentation in the vagina and outside the labia, achieving the effect of lightening melanin. It also reduces inflammation and sterilization, regulates endocrine, and promotes overall vaginal health.
Contraindications
lPatients with unrealistic expectations, such as those who seek complete eradication of wrinkles or scars.
lPatients with a tendency to form keloid and hypertrophic scars
lPeople that have taken isotretinoin within the previous 6 months
lActive cutaneous bacterial skin infections or herpes simplex (cold sores) in the area to be treated
lPrior ionising radiation to the area to be treated
lPrevious deep chemical peel or dermabrasion
lFitzpatrick skin phototypes 5 or 6 (darkly pigmented skin)
lHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C infections
FQA
1.How to take care of your private parts daily after the fractional co2 vaginal rejuvenation?
(1.)The private parts are relatively fragile body organs, delicate and sensitive. They need to be cared for more at ordinary times and pay attention to keeping the private parts clean.
(2.)Pay close attention to its status and changes, and go to the hospital for regular physical examinations.
(3.) Maintain healthy living and eating habits.
(4.) Insist on pelvic floor muscle exercises (also known as Kegel exercises). Pelvic floor muscles are called sexual muscles. Women’s insistence on exercising can not only prevent and promote postpartum recovery, but also treat and prevent bulge, prolapse, urinary incontinence and other diseases, increase firmness and enhance sexual pleasure
2.How do I know if I need fractional CO2 laser vaginal rejuvenation treatment?
You can perform self-examination in the following ways:
(1.)whether it feels tight when you put 2 fingers into the vagina;
(2.)whether there is insufficient secretion, pain, vaginal blowing, reduced satisfaction, etc. during sexual intercourse;
(3.) whether there is any urine leakage problem. Treatment can be performed if vaginal laxity, insufficient secretion during sexual intercourse, or urine leakage occur.
3.How long I can do the treatment after the menstrual period?
7 days after menstrual period is suggested.
4.How many days after treatment I can have sexual life?
After treatment, you can have sex 7-15 days later depending on the depth of treatment.
5.Dose it really work for fractional CO2 vaginal tightening treatment?
The most significant effect of CO2 fractional laser treatment is to improve female vaginal relaxation, treat female diseases and urinary incontinence. If vaginal laxity and stress urinary incontinence are not serious, and there is no damage to any surrounding structures (such as pelvic floor muscles, vaginal organs, etc.), there will be significant improvement after a CO2 private laser treatment. For serious problems, one treatment is not enough to completely improve or achieve an ideal health state. It is recommended to take three treatments as one course of treatment. CO2 private laser treatment is painless, requires no anesthesia, and is a simple operation that only takes 15-20 minutes.
Conclusion
We confirmed that fractional CO2 laser treatment can effectively remodel loose vaginal tissues in women by increasing vaginal tightening and physiological integrity. We also demonstrated improvements in both vaginal health and sexual function after treatment. Besides,we can conclude that fractional CO2 laser with following advantages:(1) it is noninvasive and efficient; (2) it results in a rapid healing process with short downtime; (3) it effectively rejuvenates vaginal tissues by restoring vaginal physiological properties; (4) it remodels the biomechanical features of vaginal tissues; and, (5) it improves the sexual functions of patients.
If you are troubled by vaginal relaxation,don’t be shame!It is worth to have a try!
