Vaginal Rejuvenation vs Labiaplasty

There is increasing interest and discussion surrounding procedures like vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty surgery. Whilst these treatments and procedures are both designed to address various concerns related to the appearance and function of the female genitalia, there are differences and knowing the differences between them both will help you to make a more informed decision regarding whether a treatment is suitable for you or not.

What is Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation is a broad term that covers a range of procedures that are designed to enhance the look and function of the vaginal area – they may also be referred to as designer vagina procedures.

The overall goal of vaginal rejuvenation treatments is to tighten the vaginal canal, improve vaginal muscle tone, enhance lubrication, and potentially address issues like urinary incontinence by targeting the pelvic floor.

Common vaginal rejuvenation procedures include;

• Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation – Laser treatments work to stimulate collagen production within the vaginal walls. This results in improved elasticity and tightness. Laser therapy treatments can also improve vaginal dryness and mild urinary incontinence.
• Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment – Similar to laser therapy, radiofrequency treatments aim to tighten vaginal tissues by promoting collagen formation. These treatments are non-invasive and can help improve vaginal laxity.
• Vaginoplasty – This is a surgical procedure that tightens the vaginal canal by removing excess lining and tightening the surrounding muscles.

Non-surgical treatments claiming to provide vaginal rejuvenation should be researched throughoughly. The FDA has warned that laser and other energy-based treatments for vaginal rejuvenation can cause serious complications including burns, scarring and long-lasting pain following treatment.

In some instances, Vaginal Rejuvenation may include a Labiaplasty procedure as part of a treatment plan. Whilst a Labiaplasty can be a stand-alone procedure, it can also be integrated into a more comprehensive Vaginal Rejuvenation process if the patient has additional concerns that they want to treat.

What is a Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the size or shape of the labia minora.

Excess tissue is removed from the area which can help to relieve discomfort and dissatisfaction as well as improving hygiene concerns and overall confidence regarding the appearance of the labia.

A labiaplasty does not tighten the vaginal muscles.

What is the difference between Labiaplasty and Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatments?

Overall, labiaplasty could fall under the vaginal rejuvenation range of treatments but there is a difference between them which includes the area being treated and the overall result.

Vaginal rejuvenation is generally reserved for treatments that improve the overall aesthetic and function of the vaginal area. Treatments typically include vaginal tightening which targets and strengthens the vaginal walls and muscles.

A labiaplasty surgery addresses issues that relate specifically to the labia minora or labia majora – the inner and outer skin of the vagina.

Vaginal rejuvenation is usually a non-surgical treatment/s which may have limited results and often require repeated treatments. Labiaplasty is a surgical treatment where results are permanent.

Labiaplasty can certainly be combined with a vaginal rejuvenation treatment plan, but they are not the same thing.

Summary

Vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty surgery are both distinct procedures with different focuses, but they both aim to help women to feel more confident and comfortable in their bodies.

Each procedure provides different benefits so it is important to match them with your desired goals. A consultation is a great place to start, speak with one of our experts today to find out which treatments are going to be best for you.
