Everything You Need to Know About the Vaginal Rejuvenation Miami, FL

There are more than thousands of products and techniques marketing to women to help them hold on to youth as long as they can. Vaginal rejuvenation Miami, FL falls into that group with promises of tightening the vagina, stopping incontinence, eliminating vaginal dryness, and many more. Age and childbirth cause change woman’s vagina, said Jo Hill, MD, a urogynecologist with the University of Utah Health. And there are some women who want to try to reverse those changes.

There are several vaginal rejuvenation processes. One is cream and another is injections that are meant to develop the quality of orgasm. There are also surgeries or laser treatments that proved effective to tighten the muscles of the vagina or improve its look.

Most women are seeking vaginal rejuvenation due to cosmetic reasons. As with any cosmetic surgery it is vital for the patient to consider why they want the surgery before moving forward with it. Developing self-confidence usually plays an important part in the decision. “It’s important that the patient is inquiring about these processes for herself, and not because of the wishes of a partner or pressure from society,” said Hill.

It’s also influential that any woman looking into vaginal rejuvenation has a realistic assumption of the outcomes. No cosmetic treatment is going to recover any part of your body to the way it was when you were 18. Also, remind that the vagina has a wide variety of “normal anatomy.” “What is ideal to you is likely not ideal to someone else, and what one culture considers beautiful another may not,” said Hill.

If you're facing painful sex or other sexual dysfunction problems-or if you're just into the idea of having more pleasurable sex life-the the recent trendiness of vaginal laser rejuvenation might seem like a magic wand.

But the FDA warns that vaginal rejuvenation surgeries aren't just bogus-the process is not safe. Here, everything you need to know about the vaginal rejuvenation procedure.

What's the idea behind vaginal rejuvenation?

First thing's first: Vagina is an elastic and sensitive muscle. You know this because, even if you haven't had a baby, you know the basic anatomical magic that must get something the size of a watermelon out of a hole the size of a lemon. Like most elastic things, though, your vagina can lose some elasticity.

FWIW, it's not the frequency or lack of sex that can change how tight your vagina is. There are only two things that switch the size of your vagina: age and childbirth. Childbirth, for obvious reasons. And "as you age, the levels and secretion of hormones decline, which may decrease in the strength of the muscle and surrounding connective tissue and, therefore, the tightness of the vagina," explains Anna Cabeca, M.D., author of The Hormone Fix. When the vaginal walls thin due to less estrogen, which can make it feel like there's been a change in diameter, that's called vaginal atrophy.

For some women, that looser feeling is enough to make them want they could go back to their pre-childbirth (or just more youthful) bits. And that's where the vaginal rejuvenation-the target of which is to minimize the average diameter of the vagina, mainly for sexual reasons-comes in.

What does the vaginal rejuvenation process entail?

While there are some surgical options, most people are referring to non-surgical technology when they talk about vaginal rejuvenation. "Vaginal rejuvenation is like a facelift for the vagina," explains Anika Ackerman, M.D. a urologist based in Morristown, NJ. "A vaginal probe-CO2 lasers and radiofrequency devices are the two most common types of technology that are being used-is inserted and the energy is applied for anywhere from five to 20 minutes."

That energy can microdamage to the vaginal tissue, which in turn tricks the body into recovering itself, explains Dr. Ackerman. "New cell growth, collagen, and elastin formation, and angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) at the site of injury lead to thicker tissue, which makes the vagina feels tighter," she says.
