News Roundup – Vaginal Rejuvenation

One of the most pervasive misconceptions about labiaplasty is that the cosmetic procedure is done purely for aesthetic reasons. However, teenage girls are getting labiaplasty to improve comfort and functionality. For some young women, oversized labia can lead to both embarrassment and discomfort, making it almost impossible to wear a bathing suit or participate in sports such as horseback riding. Labia that are too large can also chafe against clothing and cause considerable irritation, and labiaplasty can trim and resize the vaginal lips to restore functionality to the female genital region.

Childbirth, aging and menopause can all impact the vaginal canal, causing laxity as well as dryness. Vaginal laxity and a lack of natural lubrication can significantly decrease sexual sensation and satisfaction during intercourse. Laser vaginal rejuvenation can stimulate collagen growth and increase blood circulation, which work to fortify the vaginal walls. As a result of non-surgical laser vaginal rejuvenation can help make the vagina tighter and more lubricated, increasing sexual sensation and improving a woman’s sex life. Women who undergo laser vaginal rejuvenation report significant increase in their sex life satisfaction.

The rapid growth in demand for labiaplasty has drawn criticism from various groups, including some wary cosmetic surgeons and feminists. However, as a new generation of cosmetic surgeons joins the profession, the stigma surrounding labiaplasty is waning and the vaginal rejuvenation procedure is only gaining in popularity. Growing numbers of cosmetic surgeons offer labiaplasty and recognize the procedure’s ability to restore both functionality and comfort to a woman’s genitals. Labiaplasty is also performed to enhance the appearance of the labia, reshaping the vaginal lips for a more aesthetically pleasing look.

Vaginal atrophy describes how vaginal tissue can become thin, dry and inflamed as a result of a decrease in estrogen. Vaginal atrophy occurs as a result of menopause and can negatively impact sexual intercourse as well as leading to urinary incontinence. For these reasons, many women seek laser vaginal rejuvenation in order to regenerate vaginal tissue, improve sexual satisfaction and alleviate incontinence. Laser vaginal rejuvenation stimulates collagen growth within the vagina, and a 2015 study found that 85 percent of women who had become sexually inactive due to vaginal atrophy were able to resume a normal sex life within 12 weeks of laser vaginal rejuvenation.
