How does it work?

Petit Lady is a treatment that deals with the issues of vaginal ageing and symptoms associated with postpartum effects. It makes use of a non-invasive and non-surgical technique that is both effective and safe.

The Petit Lady makes use of an erbium based laser. While the world laser might sound the alarm in your head, be rest assured that this technique is very safe. The laser is manipulated so that it is able to target very specific areas and layers of the vaginal wall so that effects are only seen in area that is intended to be treated. Surrounding areas and structures are spared so no unintended side-effects occur.

A probe is inserted into the vagina and with the use of the photothermal effect of the erbium-based lasers, the deep layers of the vaginal wall containing collagen are gently ablated and stimulated.

What is the role of collagen in this procedure? Collagen is a protein that plays a very important role in the structural integrity of the body, from the skin on your face to the tendons in your joints. The deeper layer of the vaginal wall also contain collagen. It is collagen that plays a role in the the vaginal wall. The photo thermal effect of Petit Lady stimulates the production of the collagen. Collagen networks are replenished leading to a tighter vaginal wall. The remodeling of the wall not only deals with aesthetics but also relieves symptoms of atrophic vaginitis.

What conditions are treatment by laser vaginal rejuvenation?

There are a few conditions which are amenable to laser vaginal rejuvenation. They are:

• Vaginal Relaxation Syndrome. This is where the supporting structures of the vaginal wall and pelvic floor has become weakened leading to a loose vaginal canal. Laser treatment is enable to make the canal narrower and tighter. The benefits include more friction during intercourse leading to increased pleasure.
• Stress Urinary Incontinence. Incontinence is a condition where a person is unable to hold in urination for a variety of reasons. Stress urinary incontinence is the result of weakened pelvic floor muscles. Any pressure from the abdominal region like coughing or laughing will then cause incontinence because of weaknesses in the pelvic floor as it is unable to hold back the pressure. Laser vaginal rejuvenation relieves these symptom by stimulating the regrowth of some structures in the pelvic floor muscles. It is especially effective when used concurrently with pelvic floor muscles exercises. Among the risk factors for this condition is pregnancy.
• Pigmentation of vulva. The Petit Lady is also able to bring back the original texture and pigment of the vulva.
• Vaginal atrophy. The drop of oestrogen hormone levels causes the walls of the vagina to become thinner and dryer. When these happens, the woman experience symptoms like burning, itching and vaginal dryness. Laser therapy deals with these symptoms by revitalizing the vaginal wall tissue.
