Instead of abrading the entire vaginal mucosa, this partial ablative laser will create microscopic wells, leaving gaps of intact mucosa between each well (more or less wide and deep depending on the parameters chosen). When healing, these wells will close inducing a creation of collagen (regeneration of the mucosa, hydration and restructure of the mucosa) and elastin (tensor effect). The fractionation allows for a limited social eviction.<\/p>\n
The Smartxide Touch \u00ae DOT\/RF CO2 laser is one of the latest innovations from Deka (2020), which has been a reference brand in laser for about thirty years.
\nThanks to its Monalisa vaginal probe, it is used for vaginal tightening and hydration.<\/p>\n
Time limit for final results:<\/b> After a social eviction of 2 to 4 days, one can begin to feel a tightening and moisturizing effect at 2-3 weeks, but to see a significant effect one must wait 6-8 weeks. 2 to 4 sessions are often necessary.
\nLongevity of results:<\/b> several years, depending on each patient<\/p>\nBefore procedure:<\/h3>\n
Stop smoking at least 2 weeks before surgery (smoking decreases tissue micro-vascularization and compromises post-laser healing and collagen creation)
\nDo not take Aspirin 10 days before surgery, inform Dr. Lucas of any anticoagulant medication (Sintrom, Coumadin, Eliquis, etc..) to arrange for its discontinuation or replacement.<\/p>\n
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, history of hypertrophic scars, anticoagulant treatment, ongoing genital or urinary tract infection, significant genital prolapse, unexplored vaginal bleeding, history of cold sore<\/p>\n
Pain:<\/b> pain during the procedure will be almost non-existent, with an adapted anesthesia
\nDuration of procedure: 30 minutes
\nAnesthesia:<\/b> local (application of cream 15 minutes before)
\nLocation:<\/b> office
\nOutpatient (without hospitalization)<\/b><\/p>\nAfter the procedure :<\/h3>\n
Post-operative pain:<\/b> no pain, sometimes discomfort including itching that can be treated by Cetallerg
\nSocial eviction:<\/b> no sexual activity for 3-5 days
\nReturn to work:<\/b> immediate
\nReturn to sport:<\/b> 2-3 days<\/p>\nFollow-up :<\/h3>\n
In the 3 to 4 days following the fractional laser session, there may be vaginal bleeding: we advise putting a clean compress in your underwear for 3-4 days.
\nShowering is possible on the same day.
\nLocal care with Vaseline once a day for 5 days, which will be explained to you by Dr Lucas<\/p>\n
Dr. Lucas’ control 6 days, 6 weeks, 6 months.<\/p>\n
