Who Can Benefit
After childbirth and with age, the vaginal tissue can lose firmness and the support around the bladder can weaken, so small leaks happen when you cough, sneeze or exercise. IntimaLase and IncontiLase use the gentle Fotona Er:YAG laser to warm the vaginal tissue, which stimulates new collagen and firms it, without surgery or incisions.
- Vaginal laxity after childbirth
- Mild to moderate leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising
- Vaginal dryness
- Patients who want to avoid or delay surgery
Leakage with a sudden, strong urge to pass urine, or more advanced prolapse, has other causes and is not suited to this treatment; the doctor will advise you at your consultation. Pelvic floor exercises work well alongside it, and PRF, exosome feminine rejuvenation or Plinest can be combined for dryness and tissue quality.
We postpone treatment during pregnancy, in the first month after giving birth, during your period, or with a vaginal or urinary infection. We ask for a recent Pap smear result before treatment.
