Laser vaginal rejuvenation is an excellent way for women to reclaim their sexuality, bladder function and more. However, it is a newer treatment, and one the average person doesn’t know too much about.
It is important to go into any procedure as an informed patient. So, what do you need to know about laser vaginal rejuvenation? We suggest you ask your provider the following questions before your session.
Head to your vaginal rejuvenation consultation with the questions you need to ask.
What Causes Age-Related Vaginal Changes?
If you are specifically looking to remedy changes related to aging, this is a question you should ask. While laser treatments will offer a solution to certain problems, others need different interventions, or at least complementary ones. You need to know the causes to get solutions.
How Does Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Work?
It is good to know that laser vaginal rejuvenation is effective, but you also need to know how it gets the job done. While this is a safe procedure when you select the correct provider, it is a good idea to understand the science behind it, and to determine just how comfortable you are with the treatment.
Which Conditions Can Be Treated with Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Not all vaginal, vulva and pelvic floor conditions can be treated with laser vaginal rejuvenation. So, it is important that you know which conditions it can address and if it is able to help with your specific concerns. If it cannot, you may need to look into other options, including surgery.
How Long Will Each Session Take?
You will need to work your laser vaginal rejuvenation into an already busy schedule. As such, you need to know just how long each session will take you. In most cases, it takes around 30 minutes from start to finish, but different providers use different technology, so be sure to ask.
What Should I Expect in Terms of Recovery?
Since it is a non-invasive outpatient treatment, there isn’t much in the way of recovery. However, there are still certain rules for the first 48-72 hours after treatment. Ask your provider for a clear list of instructions before you schedule your appointment so you can form clear expectations in your mind.
What Are the Risks Involved?
Every procedure comes with the risk of side effects and complications. Laser vaginal rejuvenation has minimal risks, but they are still there. Get clarification on these when you have your consultation so you can weigh the benefits and drawbacks for yourself.
How Long Do Results Tend to Last?
Know that every person is different. However, there are averages that you can use to get an idea of what will come in the future. Talk to your provider about how long results tend to last for their patients to figure out what your timeline might look like.
How Much Will Vaginal Rejuvenation Cost?
Laser vaginal rejuvenation is much more affordable than surgical options. However, it can still be more than you have in your pocket. Be sure to get a detailed quote from your provider so you can determine if you need financing to get the treatment you need.
