Aesthetic gynecology: treatment methods

Methods of treatment used for the correction of intimate areas:

•    Threadlifting or lifting with threads

The essence of the treatment is to create a frame with vaginal threads, which tightens the perineal area and creates support for the stretched tissues. By restoring the correct position of the pelvic floor, the genital gap narrows and the vaginal walls are tightened.

•   

Radio wave liftingFor this purpose, a radio wave generator is used, with the help of which energy is transferred to the deep skin layers, where collagen and protein are formed, which are responsible for the elasticity and smoothness of the skin.

•    Laser treatment

The action of the laser beam on the mucous membranes and skin of intimate areas normalizes the production of natural collagen, accelerates tissue regeneration, which leads to thickening of the vaginal walls, tightening the muscles and reducing the wrinkling of the mucous membranes.

•    Injections of hyaluronic acid

The introduction of fillers, which include hyaluronic acid into the intimate area, helps to rejuvenate the skin by activating the natural processes of metabolism and protection at the injection site. The filler creates the missing volume and elasticity of tissues.

•   

PlasmoliftingThe essence of the treatment is the introduction of the patient's own plasma, enriched with platelets, into problematic skin areas of intimate areas. As a result, natural tissue regeneration is accelerated, metabolism in problem areas is normalized, water metabolism is regulated and the work of fibroblasts, which are involved in the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, is stimulated.

•    Mesotherapy

Based on the intradermal injection of drugs into the intimate area. As a result, regeneration processes are launched, which leads to an increase in the elasticity of the skin of the perineum.

•    Physiotherapy, yoga, gynecological massage and other techniques.

How the treatment will be carried out: inpatient or outpatient, depends on the complexity of the method used. Many aesthetic gynecological treatments are performed on an outpatient basis and do not require general anesthesia, and are also low risk and painless.
