What is Vaginal Rejuvination?
Vaginal Rejuvination is a term that covers different types of treatments that aim to improve the function and appearance of the vagina and the vulva. Some of these treatments are surgical, such as labiaplasty (reshaping the labia) or vaginoplasty (tightening the vaginal canal), while others are nonsurgical, such as using lasers or radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration.
​
People may opt for Vaginal Rejuvination for various reasons, such as:
- To restore vaginal tightness and sensation after childbirth or aging
- To reduce urinary incontinence or leakage
- To increase lubrication and sexual pleasure
- To enhance confidence and self-esteem
- To correct congenital or acquired abnormalities
​
Vaginal rejuvenation is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and each person has different goals and expectations. That's why it's important to consult with a qualified and experienced provider who can help you choose the best option for your needs and preferences. Vaginal rejuvenation can have many benefits, but it also comes with some risks and limitations, so make sure you do your research and weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
Benefits of Vaginal Rejuvination
Vaginal rejuvenation can offer many benefits for people who experience issues such as vaginal laxity, dryness, incontinence, or low sexual satisfaction. Here are some of the benefits of vaginal rejuvenation that you may not know.
1. Improved tightness and tone
One of the most common reasons for seeking vaginal rejuvenation is to restore the tightness and tone of the vaginal canal and the surrounding tissues. Childbirth, aging, genetics, and other factors can cause the vagina to lose its elasticity and strength, leading to a feeling of looseness or sagging. Vaginal rejuvenation can tighten and repair the vaginal canal through surgical methods such as vaginoplasty or nonsurgical methods such as laser or radiofrequency treatments. These methods stimulate the production of collagen and new tissue in the vaginal area, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance.
2. Reduced incontinence and leakage
Another common issue that affects many people is urinary incontinence or leakage. This condition occurs when the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder and urethra become weak or damaged, causing involuntary loss of urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or having sex. Vaginal rejuvenation can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and improve bladder control through surgical methods such as perineoplasty or nonsurgical methods such as laser or radiofrequency treatments. These methods can also reduce the risk of pelvic organ prolapse, which is when the pelvic organs drop from their normal position due to weak pelvic floor muscles.
3. Increased lubrication and moisture
Another issue that affects many people is vaginal dryness, which can cause discomfort, irritation, itching, burning, or pain during intercourse or daily activities. Vaginal dryness can be caused by hormonal changes due to menopause, breastfeeding, birth control pills, or other medications, as well as by environmental factors such as stress, smoking, or lack of hydration. Vaginal rejuvenation can help increase lubrication and moisture in the vaginal area by stimulating blood flow and enhancing tissue regeneration through surgical methods such as labiaplasty or nonsurgical methods such as laser or radiofrequency treatments. These methods can also improve the balance of vaginal flora and pH levels, which can prevent infections and odors.
4. Enhanced sensitivity and sensation
Another issue that affects many people is reduced sensitivity and sensation in the vaginal area, which can affect their sexual pleasure and satisfaction. This can be caused by nerve damage due to childbirth, aging, trauma, or surgery, as well as by psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Vaginal rejuvenation can help enhance sensitivity and sensation in the vaginal area by restoring nerve function and increasing blood flow through surgical methods such as clitoral hood reduction or nonsurgical methods such as laser or radiofrequency treatments. These methods can also improve the appearance of the vulvar area (labia, clitoris, or vaginal opening), which can boost confidence and intimacy.
5. Improved quality of life and well-being
One of the most important benefits of vaginal rejuvenation is that it can improve the overall quality of life and well-being of people who undergo these procedures. Vaginal rejuvenation can help address physical issues that affect their comfort, health, and functionality, as well as emotional issues that affect their self-esteem, confidence, and happiness. By improving their vaginal health and appearance, people who undergo vaginal rejuvenation can enjoy a more active, fulfilling, and satisfying life.
Types of Vaginal Rejuvenation
There are two main types of vaginal rejuvenation: surgical and non-surgical. Each type has its own benefits, risks, and recovery process. In this article, we will discuss the different types of vaginal rejuvenation procedures available and what you can expect from them.
​
Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation
Surgical vaginal rejuvenation involves sedation or anesthesia and is performed by a gynecologic or plastic surgeon. Some common surgical procedures for vaginal rejuvenation are:
​
Labiaplasty:
Reshapes your labia or the “lips” of your vagina. This can reduce discomfort, irritation, or insecurity caused by large or uneven labia.
Vaginoplasty:
Tightens or repairs the vaginal canal after childbirth. This can enhance sexual sensation and satisfaction for you and your partner.
Clitoral hood reduction:
Removes extra tissue that covers the clitoris. This can increase clitoral stimulation and orgasmic potential.
Monsplasty:
Removes fatty tissue from the pubic bone area. This can create a smoother and more youthful appearance of the pubic mound.
Vulvoplasty:
Reshapes the vulvar area (external genitalia). This can correct asymmetry, scarring, or deformity of the vulva.
Perineoplasty:
Strengthens the perineum (space between your vagina and anus). This can improve muscle tone, blood flow, and sensation in the area.
​
Nonsurgical Vaginal Rejuvenation
Nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation is noninvasive and has a short recovery time. It involves heating the top layers of vaginal tissue with energy-based devices such as lasers or radiofrequency waves. This causes the underlying tissue to produce more collagen and new, firmer tissue.
​
Nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation can help tighten and tone your vaginal area without needles or surgery. It can also improve blood circulation, lubrication, and sensitivity in the vagina.
Some of the benefits of nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation are:
- It is less painful and risky than surgery.
- It has minimal downtime and side effects.
- It is more affordable than surgery.
- It can be customized to your needs and preferences.
​
However, nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation also has some limitations. The results are not as dramatic or permanent as surgery and may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal outcomes. The effects may also vary depending on your age, health, lifestyle, and hormonal status. You may still experience some discomfort, redness, swelling, or discharge after the treatment. You will also need to avoid sexual intercourse and tampon use for three to five days.
​
Vaginal rejuvenation is a personal choice that depends on your goals and expectations. Whether you opt for surgical or nonsurgical methods, you should consult with a qualified and experienced provider who can advise you on the best option for you. You should also do your research and weigh the pros and cons of each procedure before making a decision.
Vaginal rejuvenation can help you feel more confident and comfortable in your body and enhance your sexual health and well-being. However, it is not a magic solution that can fix all your problems or guarantee happiness. You should also take care of your overall health by eating well, exercising regularly, managing stress, and communicating with your partner.

Vaginal Rejuvination Surgery
Before the surgery
Before you decide to have a vaginal rejuvenation surgery, you should consult with a qualified and experienced gynecologist or plastic surgeon who can assess your condition and recommend the best procedure for your goals and needs. You should also discuss your medical history, medications, allergies, and expectations with your doctor.
Depending on the type of surgery you choose, you may need to undergo some tests, such as blood work, urine analysis, or pelvic exam, to make sure you are healthy and ready for the surgery. You may also need to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs, before the surgery.
You should also follow some preoperative instructions, such as avoiding smoking, alcohol, or sexual intercourse for a few days before the surgery. You should also arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you for at least 24 hours after the surgery.
During the surgery
Vaginal rejuvenation surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent and complexity of the procedure. The surgery usually takes between one to three hours to complete.
There are different types of vaginal rejuvenation surgery, such as:
- Labiaplasty:
This procedure involves trimming and reshaping the labia minora (inner lips) and/or the labia majora (outer lips) of the vulva. This can improve the appearance of the vulva, reduce discomfort from chafing or irritation, and enhance sexual sensation.
- Vaginoplasty:
This procedure involves tightening and repairing the vaginal canal and opening after childbirth or aging. This can improve vaginal tone and strength, reduce urinary incontinence, and increase sexual pleasure.
- Clitoral hood reduction:
This procedure involves removing excess skin that covers the clitoris. This can improve the appearance of the vulva and increase clitoral stimulation.
- Monsplasty:
This procedure involves removing excess fat from the pubic area. This can improve the appearance of the vulva and reduce bulging or sagging.
- Vulvoplasty:
This procedure involves reshaping the entire vulvar area (external genitalia). This can improve the appearance of the vulva and correct any asymmetry or deformity.
- Perineoplasty:
This procedure involves strengthening and repairing the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus). This can improve vaginal support and function, reduce pain during sex or bowel movements, and enhance sexual sensation.
Your doctor will make small incisions in the appropriate areas and use surgical tools to remove excess tissue or skin, tighten muscles or ligaments, or reshape structures. The incisions will be closed with sutures or dissolvable stitches.
After the surgery
After the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery room where you will be monitored for any complications. You may experience some pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, or numbness in the treated area. Your doctor will prescribe some painkillers and antibiotics to help you manage these symptoms and prevent infection.
You will be able to go home on the same day or stay overnight in the hospital, depending on your condition and type of anesthesia. You will need to follow some postoperative instructions, such as:
- Avoiding strenuous activities, lifting heavy objects, or driving for at least two weeks after the surgery.
- Wearing loose-fitting clothing and cotton underwear to avoid friction or pressure on the treated area.
- Applying ice packs or cold compresses to reduce swelling and inflammation.
- Keeping the treated area clean and dry by washing gently with mild soap and water and patting dry with a soft towel.
- Changing sanitary pads frequently if you have any bleeding or discharge.
- Avoiding tampons, douches, baths, pools, hot tubs, or sexual intercourse for at least six weeks after the surgery
