Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation ® FAQ


I have had children and since then things aren't the same vaginally. My vagina isn't like it was before childbirth and sex isn't as gratifying as it was before. For me giving birth has resulted in vaginal enlargement with loose weak vaginal muscles. My vaginal muscle tone is poor and the support outside the vagina especially at the bottom is poor. I perform Kegels exercise everyday but this doesn't seem to help.

Many women have your exact same problem, share your self-conscious concerns and desire to enhance sexual gratification .Women are concerned about their sexual concerns, sexual needs and the procedures to enhance sexual gratification. Laser vaginal rejuvenation ® (LVR) is a modification of a standard gynecological procedure. The laser is used to perform precise aesthetic surgical incisions. The techniques that we have developed result in a relatively bloodless procedure done on an outpatient basis. In brief we will tighten the vaginal muscles and supporting tissues as well as reduce redundant vaginal mucosa. It will effectively reduce the internal and external vaginal diameters as well as build up the perineal body (The area outside the vagina up to the anus). According to Masters and Johnson, sexual gratification of the female is directly related to the amount of frictional forces generated. We can tighten the vagina thus increasing the amount of frictional forces generated. The procedure can also provide an aesthetic enhancement of the external vaginal structures resulting in a more youthful look.

As with all our surgical procedures, you are an integral part of our team and we listen to you and abide by your wishes. In this procedure the women decides how tight she wants to be.
