What is vaginal revitalization and who should consider it?

Vaginal rejuvenation (also referred to as vaginal tightening) is a procedure within aesthetic gynecology. Depending on the method used, the treatment is designed either to stimulate the tissues to produce new collagen or to contract the existing fibers.

The result is increased elasticity of the vaginal walls, achieved by strengthening tissue structure and initiating a remodeling process that continues long after the treatment series is completed. Vaginal tightening restores proper tone and elasticity while also reducing the risk of pelvic instability or even uterine prolapse.

A consultation with a gynecologist is a mandatory step before any aesthetic gynecology procedure performed at the Anti-Aging Clinic. Patients are also required to provide the results of a Pap smear carried out no more than six months before the planned treatment date.

After a thorough evaluation of the reported symptoms, the physician qualifies the patient for the procedure, which is performed using one of two methods available in our clinic. The specialist selects the appropriate approach based on the examination and medical interview—and in some cases may recommend a combination of both methods.

Methods of treatment include:

• Injection of hyaluronic acid gel into the vaginal walls – This technique involves administering hyaluronic acid using a syringe with a fine needle, similar to mesotherapy. The acid deeply hydrates, firms, and increases tissue volume in the targeted areas. It also enhances sensitivity in intimate regions, significantly improving sexual experience.

• Laser vaginal rejuvenation – This method uses a fractional laser probe inserted into the vagina. The procedure is based on microneedle radiofrequency, which employs high-frequency magnetic waves. The result is a marked increase in tissue tightness and improved elasticity of the vaginal mucosa. Radiofrequency also stimulates collagen production, with the remodeling process continuing for several months after treatment, ensuring long-lasting effects.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which minimizes discomfort and enhances patient comfort. The session usually lasts no longer than 30 minutes, depending on the scope of treatment and individual factors. No hospitalization is required, and patients can return home the same day.

The number of sessions recommended in a treatment series, as well as the recovery time, depend on each patient’s individual characteristics. In general, however, between three and eight sessions are advised, depending on the method used and the patient’s condition. The aftercare period—during which specific recommendations must be followed—typically lasts from 2 to 4 weeks.

Post-procedure guidelines mainly include maintaining proper intimate hygiene and avoiding strenuous physical activity. Sexual abstinence is also recommended throughout the recovery phase.

Vaginal rejuvenation delivers positive results not only in terms of aesthetics, but also functionality and overall health, making it an effective therapy for a variety of concerns.

It is particularly recommended for women who:

• struggle with vaginal relaxation syndrome, which leads to a loss of tone and loosening of the tissues that form the vaginal wall, as well as weakening of the surrounding structures. This condition may affect women who have had multiple vaginal deliveries, experienced birth-related injuries or complications with assisted delivery tools, have congenital connective tissue abnormalities, or are going through (or have already completed) menopause;

• experience vaginal laxity due to weight fluctuations, sudden hormonal changes, or the natural aging process;

• suffer from recurring infections or chronic discharge caused by structural changes in the vaginal tissues;

• feel reduced satisfaction with their intimate life due to diminished sexual sensations;

• experience discomfort in the intimate area, often associated with vaginal dryness;

• struggle with stress urinary incontinence.

The treatment is designed to strengthen the structure of the anterior vaginal wall, improve elasticity and firmness, and, when necessary, increase tissue volume. The effects are often noticeable after the very first session, though it is important to follow the physician’s guidance regarding the recommended number of treatments in a series.

Patients typically report greater satisfaction with their intimate life. Chronic infections that once troubled them often subside. The vagina becomes more hydrated and elastic, eliminating dryness, while the procedure also helps reduce the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence.

Every woman who cares about her health and quality of life should be aware of the aesthetic and therapeutic benefits that aesthetic gynecology can provide. For many, vaginal rejuvenation is an opportunity to restore pleasure in sexual activity, overcome recurring infections, and address discomfort related to the loss of tone and elasticity. For this reason, scheduling a consultation with a specialist is a step worth taking sooner rather than later.

Urogynaecological physiotherapy, which focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, can also help women with vaginal laxity syndrome. Regular exercise can increase muscle tone, which improves vaginal function and reduces symptoms such as urinary incontinence and heaviness. In addition, urogynaecological physiotherapy may include manual techniques, biofeedback and breathing exercises that help restore balance within the pelvis and improve patients’ quality of life.
