4 Options for Vaginal Rejuvenation

If you're unhappy with the appearance of your vagina or suffer from certain woes (like incontinence or vaginal dryness), vaginal rejuvenation can help you address these issues. However, there are multiple procedures that you can choose from for your vaginal rejuvenation needs. Here are a few options that might satisfy your goals for vaginal rejuvenation.

1. Labia Majoraplasty

Labia majoraplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the size of the labia majora, which are the outer lips of the vagina. This procedure is rarely done for health reasons; rather, it addresses concerns that women might have over the appearance of the vagina. If you feel like your labia majora are uneven, extend too low, or appear too full, a labia majoraplasty can give them your preferred size or appearance.

2. Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation

Laser vaginal rejuvenation is a less invasive procedure used to address a host of issues, such as dryness, incontinence, and laxity of the vagina. Many women suffer from these concerns after having children. Delivering a baby can stretch and loosen the muscles in and around the vagina.

During this rejuvenation procedure, your doctor uses a laser device to stimulate the tissues of your vagina. The goal of these treatments is to encourage the production of collagen necessary to replenish the vaginal tissue. Increasing the amount of vagina tissue will assist with tightening the vagina.

3. Vaginoplasty

A vaginoplasty is another procedure that tightens the vagina. However, it is more invasive than laser rejuvenation and requires surgery.

It is often completed for health concerns, such as severe separation of the vaginal muscles. If the vaginal muscles experience dramatic separation, this increases the laxity of the vagina. Some women may find that they no longer enjoy sex or that they can't comfortably use tampons during menstruation due to the additional laxity.

If you need dramatic results, a vaginoplasty may be preferable to laser vaginal rejuvenation. A doctor well-versed in vaginal rejuvenation can help you decide which procedure is better for your needs.

4. Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is designed to decrease the length of the labia minora; the labia minora are the smaller inner folds of the vulva. Though a labiaplasty may be completed due to concerns over the appearance of the labia minora, it's also recommended for women who find certain activities painful.

Biking, sexual intercourse, and other physical tasks may be uncomfortable for some women due to tugging on the labia minora during these activities. This tugging can irritate the sensitive labia minor tissues, causing itching and discomfort.
