Intimate rejuvenation and restoration: the potential of modern techniques

Women often stay silent about problems such as dryness, discomfort during intimacy, and reduced tissue tone after childbirth or with age. However, these changes can be corrected using modern techniques. In this article, specialists from the GENEVITY Longevity and Quality of Life Center in Dnipro explain how intimate rejuvenation with a CO₂ laser is performed, who it suits, and how to prepare for the procedure.

Intimate rejuvenation with the Lumenis AcuPulse CO₂ laser: purpose and capabilities of the technique

Intimate rejuvenation in cosmetology is aimed at restoring the vaginal mucosa and improving the condition of the vaginal walls. The controlled thermal action of the Lumenis AcuPulse CO₂ laser stimulates the synthesis of new collagen and triggers remodeling of the connective tissue. As a result, dryness and discomfort during intimacy are reduced, the hydration and elasticity of the mucosa improve, and the tone of the vaginal walls increases.

FemTouch™, AcuScan™, and SurgiTouch™ technologies for restoring the intimate area

During intimate rejuvenation, the doctor uses different attachments and modes of the CO₂ laser depending on which area needs to be treated and what result is to be achieved.

• FemTouch™ evenly treats the vaginal mucosa, stimulating tissue renewal and collagen synthesis.

• AcuScan™ treats tissue point by point, creating controlled microdamage. Undamaged areas remain between them, which allows recovery to proceed faster.

• SurgiTouch™ is used for precise adjustment of the area, shape, and intensity of exposure during localized treatment.

The doctor can adapt the procedure to a specific problem: dryness, reduced tone, discomfort, or tissue changes after childbirth and with age.

What problems does female genital rejuvenation help solve?

Intimate rejuvenation is used to correct functional and aesthetic changes in the intimate area. The main indications are:

• dryness and atrophic changes of the mucosa, including in menopause;

• reduced tone and stretching of the vaginal walls after childbirth;

• discomfort and pain during sexual intercourse;

• pigmentation and hyperkeratosis of the skin of the external genitalia.

GENEVITY gynecologist’s comment: “Before the procedure, we always assess the condition of the mucosa. If we detect colpitis, we first treat the inflammation, because laser exposure can worsen irritation.”

Intimate comfort, sensitivity, and functional recovery

Restoring the hydration and elasticity of the mucosa helps reduce discomfort during intimacy and improve sensitivity. Laser exposure also increases the tone of the vaginal walls.

In mild cases of stress urinary incontinence, the procedure may reduce the frequency of episodes during coughing, laughing, or physical exertion. If incontinence is pronounced or there are significant anatomical changes, device-based techniques do not replace surgical treatment. In this case, the patient is consulted by a gynecologist and a urologist and, if necessary, by specialists in plastic surgery.

How does preparation for intimate rejuvenation work?

Before the procedure, the gynecologist performs an examination and assesses the condition of the mucosa. Intimate rejuvenation is scheduled outside the menstrual period. If laser hair removal is being performed in the same area, it is better to coordinate the schedule of procedures with the doctor in advance so that the skin has time to recover between sessions.

Anesthesia is usually not needed, and the laser treatment itself lasts 10–15 minutes. After the procedure, it is recommended to refrain from sexual contact, visiting the pool and sauna, taking hot baths, and using tampons for 5–7 days.

Intimate recovery after childbirth

After childbirth, the tone of the vaginal walls often decreases, and the mucosa becomes drier and more sensitive. Laser genital rejuvenation helps improve hydration, firmness, and the condition of the tissues. A course usually consists of 3 procedures at intervals of 4–6 weeks, and the result lasts on average 12–18 months.

GENEVITY gynecologist’s comment: “After childbirth, the body needs time to recover, so we choose the moment for the procedure individually. Once the recovery period is complete, intimate rejuvenation helps reduce dryness and improve the elasticity of the vaginal walls. For many women, this is an important part of returning to their usual well-being and feeling confident in their own bodies.”
