There are a lot of wonderful things that come with age, but of course, there are also certain things that we’d rather avoid. Life brings a lot of changes, especially for women who’ve given birth, are going through menopause, or are postmenopausal.
Talking about your intimate wellness can feel embarrassing or maybe even a little taboo, but it shouldn’t be! The aging process affects every part of the body, and just because something isn’t regularly visible to other people, doesn’t mean it can’t affect your experience of yourself.
Your vaginal health isn’t just about looking good, it’s really about feeling good, too! And it’s not just about sex, though that can certainly be important. Stress urinary incontinence and vaginal dryness can lead to daily discomfort, affecting your mood and confidence.
At Entre Nous Aesthetics we’re masters of discretion, so there’s no need to let feelings of embarrassment keep you from taking charge of your vaginal health and well-being. We offer vaginal rejuvenation near Palo Alto so that our patients can feel carefree and confident in all aspects of their aesthetic health.
What is vaginal rejuvenation?
While it’s typically considered a cosmetic procedure, vaginal rejuvenation can have health and wellness benefits too. After all, the vagina and the surrounding tissues are important organs that play a huge role in a woman’s overall health.
There are a variety of methods for vaginal rejuvenation these days, from self-applied creams to surgery. At Entre Nous Aesthetics we use laser vaginal rejuvenation because it can treat a wide range of issues with little to no downtime.
Vaginal rejuvenation isn’t just about looking or feeling sexy, though that can certainly be part of it. It’s about improving your overall quality of life! It’s hard to be killing it in your career or kicking back with your family if you’re constantly worried about your vaginal health.
We use the CO₂RE Intima Laser to treat multiple aspects of intimate well-being:
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Vaginal dryness
- Vaginal laxity and atrophy
- Painful intercourse
- Pigment changes
Laser vaginal rejuvenation is a great, non-surgical method for revamping your vaginal tissue and helping you look, and feel, younger. The ideal patient for vaginal rejuvenation near Palo Alto is any woman who has noticed a change in their vaginal health or sexual satisfaction.
What happens to the pelvic area as you age?
Over time, your vaginal walls and opening can become thin, losing elasticity and tone. Things like childbirth and menopause contribute to speeding up this process.
The CO₂RE Intima Laser can help relieve these symptoms, improve sexual well-being, and get you back to feeling like yourself.
Benefits of the Intima laser
No downtime
Perhaps the greatest part of this treatment: there’s no downtime with vaginal rejuvenation near Palo Alto. The treatment takes about 10 minutes and you can go right about your day after. No one has to know!
Customizable
Because of the innovative laser technology, the CO₂RE Intima laser can treat a wide range of vaginal issues that stem from childbirth, menopause, hysterectomies, chemotherapy, and more. It also is FDA-cleared to treat both internal and external issues. Because of this, we can work with you to develop a treatment plan based on your unique needs!
Long-term results
After completing your initial series of treatments, you can expect results that last for years and longer with maintenance treatments.
How does the Intima laser work?
As with any laser treatment, the Intima works by resurfacing your skin. We know, it sounds intense, but it’s really a simple process with little to no discomfort.
Laser treatments work through controlled injury to the skin to boost collagen production. Yes, there’s collagen there too. Everywhere on your body with skin is built from collagen and elastin, including the vaginal walls! The laser gently heats the skin, which stimulates your body’s natural healing response to produce more of the proteins that make up your skin.
Things like stress urinary incontinence and vaginal dryness are caused by weakness in your pelvic tissues. The intima laser strengthens and restores the collagen structure of your vaginal tissue to alleviate those symptoms.
The process for vaginal rejuvenation near Palo Alto
Start with a consultation
As with any aesthetic treatment, our process at Entre Nous starts with an in-depth consultation with one of our expert providers. The consultation is when we’ll ask you about your symptoms, medical history, and goals for your treatment. This is when you should feel free to ask any questions you have about the procedure and what to expect.
We’ll develop a customized treatment plan and provide you with detailed pre and post-care instructions to get the most out of your treatment.
Getting Your Treatment
When you arrive for your treatment you’ll be shown to one of our comfortable and private treatment rooms. While there’s no need for anesthesia, we can provide topical numbing cream for your comfort.
After it’s inserted, the movement of the Intima laser is hands-free and controlled by the device under the supervision of your aesthetician. The whole treatment only takes a few minutes.
Next Steps
You can expect to go about your regular day after treatment. The only requirement is abstaining from sexual activity for about a week while your tissues are still healing. It’s also completely normal to experience a little extra discharge 1 to 2 days after your treatment.
Most patients experience some relief from their symptoms right away after just one treatment. Typically a series of 3 treatments, spaced 4 to 5 weeks apart, are needed to see the best results and achieve long-lasting relief. Our front desk staff will schedule these follow-ups with you before you leave.
Frequently asked questions about vaginal rejuvenation
Does the laser hurt?
The CO₂RE Intima laser is a virtually painless procedure. Most patients report little to no discomfort with the treatment. Your comfort is our number one priority at Entre Nous, so we can use topical numbing cream prior and an ice pack after if you need or want them.
Our office also utilizes Pro-Nox to help our patients relax during their treatments! Let your provider know if that’s something you’d like to include in your appointment.
Am I a candidate for vaginal rejuvenation?
If you’re looking for a non-surgical method for refreshing your vaginal health, you could be a candidate for this treatment. Stress urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness and laxity, or painful intercourse are all things that can be addressed with the Intima laser.
The best way to know is to schedule a consultation with one of our trained providers.
Will this help with vaginal dryness?
Yes! We use the Intima laser as a vaginal dryness treatment. By restoring the tissue and encouraging new blood vessels to form, the laser helps improve overall vaginal function, including increased lubrication.
Will this help with stress urinary incontinence?
Yes! Stress urinary incontinence that’s caused by weakened pelvic tissue can be treated with laser vaginal rejuvenation. By restoring the collagen structure in your vaginal tissue, the area has the strength it needs to prevent leaks.
