  What is  Laser Vaginal Tightening?
  

• Just like skin, vaginal tissue is made up of collagen fibres. Over time the collagen can lose strength, giving  a feeling of laxity.
  
•  Common causes of vaginal laxity include childbirth, aging, genetic predisposition and lifestyle.
  
•  It is estimated that 50% of the women are concerned about their vaginal laxity after a vaginal delivery.
  
• Vaginal laxity results in decreased sexual satisfaction,  stress urinary incontinence.
  
• Also, with age estrogen deficiency leads to a various physical changes of vulva, vagina and lower urinary tract. These include vaginal dryness, burning , irritation, lack of lubrication, painful intercourse as well as recurrent urinary tract infections. 
  
• This vaginal therapy system comfortably and safely rejuvenates the vaginal tissue .Thus,  improves its  responsiveness.
  
• Finexel is the Fractional  CO₂ laser technology used at SkinPrayag for this therapy.
  
•   Finexel gently and painlessly acts on vaginal walls through a special probe. This creates microlesions which are required for production of new collagen.
  
• This re-organizes and re-equilibrates the components of vaginal mucosa and urogenital structures .  A tissue regeneration process lasting several weeks is triggered.
  
• The vaginal mucosa becomes more nourished and hydrated. The epithelium thickens and muscle becomes more toned and elastic with time.
  
• The correct vaginal pH becomes re-established which helps to maintain natural protective barrier and reduces risk of infections.
  
• The treatment tightens the walls which enhances sexual pleasure, restores tone to tissue and increases blood flow which increases lubrication and strengthens the supporting ligaments surrounding the bladder and urethra . This decreases symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
