What is vaginal laxity?
Vaginal laxity is characterized by a slackening of the tissues at the entrance of the vagina. This loss of muscle tone can diminish vaginal sensations during intercourse and decrease the sexual satisfaction of both partners. At Clinique Marois, we strongly believe that women of all ages should enjoy a satisfying sex life. This article outlines some of the best non-surgical solutions for tightening the vagina and thereby enhancing sexual pleasure.
What causes vaginal laxity?
Vaginal laxity can be caused by several things, including hormonal changes (notably, menopause), childbirth, genetic factors and lifestyle factors (for example, smoking). While nearly half of all women are affected by this problem, many avoid bringing it up with their doctor. Fortunately, taboos around female sexuality are vanishing, and women now have access to a variety of solutions to improve their well-being.
Vaginoplasty: recommended for severe cases
A vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that tightens the vagina. This major operation produces positive results in many patients with more severe cases of vaginal laxity. However, as with other types of surgical procedure, there’s a risk of complication with a vaginoplasty.
4 gentle treatments to tighten the vagina
Would you like to improve muscle tone in your vagina without undergoing a vaginoplasty? Here are four possible solutions:
- Fotona Laser
Also used to treat vaginal dryness and urinary incontinence, this treatment uses photothermal therapy to target the mucous membrane of the vaginal wall. A laser stimulates the production of collagen and improves circulation in the mucous membrane, rejuvenating the vaginal wall. Laser vaginal tightening is a simple, quick, painless, non-invasive procedure that we offer at Clinique Marois. - Platelet-rich plasma injections
Platelet-rich plasma injections — another treatment option offered at Clinique Marois — can enhance vaginal sensations and orgasms. The treatment consists of taking a blood sample from the patient’s arm, centrifuging the blood to separate the platelet-rich plasma, then injecting it under the clitoral hood and in the periurethral region using a syringe. One of the major advantages of this treatment option is that it carries no risk of allergic reaction, as the platelet-rich plasma comes from the patient’s body. - vSculpt Pro device
The rechargeable vSculpt Pro device allows you to tone the muscles and strengthen the tissues in your vagina from the comfort of your home. It works through a unique combination of heat, photobiomodulation and sonic vibrations. Specifically, the vSculpt Pro increases blood flow and cellular proliferation in connective tissue. This affordable treatment, which restores vaginal tissues through toning and tightening the pelvic floor, is offered at Clinique Marois. - Perineal rehabilitation
Often recommended following a pregnancy, perineal rehabilitation consists of toning the muscles at the base of the pelvis through exercise. It’s good to note that women are advised to do pelvic floor exercises (such as Kegel exercises) more often as they get older, as a decrease in estrogen contributes to a loss of elasticity in the vaginal tissues. This causes the vagina to feel looser. Dr. Marois works closely with physiotherapists who specialize in perineal rehabilitation, thereby ensuring that his patients receive the highest quality of care.
