Genital Aesthetics With Laser

Laser is an abbreviation of the initials of the words “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation”. Laser is a technology that produces concentrated, focused and single wavelength light. Due to these properties, today, the areas of use are increasing used in many different fields rapidly.

Why is Laser Applied in the Genital Area?

Genital laser applications refer to treatments performed on the vaginal or genital area using laser technology. These applications can be grouped into two main groups according to their purposes:

The use of lasers for functional purposes:

• Stress urinary incontinence
• Vagina tightening and rejuvenation
• Menopausal genitourinary syndrome
• Vaginal dryness
• Recurrent vaginal infections
• Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome

• Tightening in the external genital area
• Genital warts
• Genital molluscum contagiosum
• Nevus
• Hemagioma
• Scar tissue
• Stria in the skin

How Does Laser Affect the Genital Area?

The mechanism of action of the laser works by applying laser energy to the vaginal and external genital tissues. This application is performed using special laser devices designed specifically for targeting the tissues in the vagina and genital area. The basic mechanism of action of the laser in the genital area is as follows.

Collagen Stimulation: Laser energy penetrates the vaginal or genital tissues, while stimulating the production of collagen located in the connective tissue under these tissues. Collagen, which is in the protein structure, ensures that the skin and tissues are tight and elastic. Collagen production stimulated by laser energy promotes tightening and rejuvenation of the skin and vagina.

Increased Blood Flow: Blood flow to the tissues exposed to laser energy increases. Thus, by transporting more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, it is ensured that the tissues achieve a healthier structure.

Improving the Appearance of the Genital Area: Laser can reduce skin discoloration in the genital area, treat scar tissue and correct skin color, which provides a visual improvement.

Treatment of Urinary Incontinence: Laser can alleviate or treat urinary incontinence problems by helping to tighten the vaginal tissues around the area where urine output is provided.
The mechanism of action of genital laser applications may differ depending on personal factors such as age, race, skin structure, menopausal status, systemic diseases, a person’s needs and the purpose of treatment. Therefore, if you are considering this type of treatment, you should discuss your needs and expectations by getting more information about genital laser applications by consulting a specialist beforehand.
