Minimally invasive procedures to address intimate health and sexual dysfunction
Thanks to changes in the perception of beauty and health, women are becoming more and more open to the idea that their intimate health is an important factor in the overall quality of life and personal satisfaction.
The term gynecological aesthetics refers to a series of procedures and procedures that are performed to improve women’s intimate health and problems related to sexual function and pleasure.
Until recently, aesthetic procedures in gynecology were a taboo subject. Thanks to changes in the perception of beauty and health, women are becoming more and more open to the idea that their intimate health is an important factor in the overall quality of life and personal satisfaction.
For a modern woman, health no longer means only the absence of disease, but a high quality of life, satisfaction with oneself and one’s body, and overall well-being.
It is precisely because of the above that gynecological aesthetics has recently gained importance in modern medicine. Globally, looking at the past few years, the number of women who choose aesthetic gynecology procedures is growing exponentially. A similar growth trend is happening in Europe, including in our country.
Given the increase in interest in procedures and procedures in the field of gynecological aesthetics, the number of their procedures has also increased in the normal sequence of events. In addition to a number of aesthetic methods, regenerative methods such as rejuvenation of the external genitalia and vagina have been developed in the past few years.
In women, after childbirth and due to the natural aging process, the appearance and function of the genitals change. Thanks to procedures and procedures in the sphere of gynecological aesthetics, modern, painless procedures with minimal invasiveness are available today to solve numerous problems related to the intimate area of women.
Gynecological aesthetics offers a number of solutions in the form of non-invasive or minimally invasive, painless and effective therapeutic procedures that do not disrupt daily functioning and do not require long-term recovery.
In the selection of procedures within gynecological aesthetics, we apply an individual and comprehensive approach. Before making a decision on a particular procedure, it is necessary to consult a gynecologist and a plastic surgeon.
In order to make the right diagnosis and achieve long-term positive results, at the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic we nurture collaborative, teamwork that unites experience, knowledge and cutting-edge technology in order to respond to the specific needs of each patient.
When consulting with our specialists, it is necessary to list in detail all the problems you have a problem with, so that together we can choose the procedure that will best suit your problems and final needs.
Labiaplasty is a procedure that involves reducing or changing the shape of the labia. It is a surgical procedure that can be performed today with the help of laser technology with very fast healing and without major scars.
Irregular, asymmetrical or enlarged labia can be the result of a birth defect, but also birth trauma, surgery or the natural aging process. Dissatisfaction with the appearance of the labia is a source of discomfort during sexual intercourse for many women and leads to a loss of self-confidence.
An altered appearance of the labia can also make it impossible to perform daily activities, sit or stand normally, play sports and cause discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Labiaplasty is performed on enlarged, elongated or asymmetrical labia. The results look natural, and patients report greater comfort, more pleasurable sexual intercourse with improved aesthetic appearance after surgery and, of course, an increase in self-confidence.
Although it is a sensitive and delicate part of the female body, recovery from labiaplasty is actually quite quick and painless. Therapy includes prescribed bed rest and analgesics as needed for several days. It is recommended to take sick leave for a week to ensure a peaceful recovery at home.
According to research, more than 90% of women report a positive experience and satisfaction with the results after labiaplasty.
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure during which the muscle tissue of the vagina is surgically treated to narrow and strengthen the vaginal wall.
Traditionally, vaginoplasty was most often performed for the purpose of repairing birth injuries, while today the procedure is also performed for aesthetic purposes and to improve sexual satisfaction.
The expansion and weakening of the wall occurs as a result of aging and hormonal changes, and can be the result of childbirth or episiotomy. With the weakening of the vaginal wall, the uterus also loses its support and can descend all the way to the vaginal mouth due to the action of gravity.
Due to this condition, patients suffer from frequent inflammation, uroinfections and the inability to control urination at the slightest effort.
During vaginoplasty, the reconstruction of the muscle tissue of the vagina is performed, which achieves a more permanent result. After the procedure, the vaginal wall is stronger, more resistant and less relaxed.
Vaginoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, and the procedure lasts about 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition and the procedure.
After the procedure, it is recommended to rest for 2 weeks, and it is also necessary to abstain from sexual intercourse for 6 to 8 weeks.
Patients after vaginoplasty notice greater satisfaction during sexual intercourse, which consequently affects the improvement of the general quality of life.
The perineum or perineum is the visible area of the external genitalia between the vagina and the rectum.
Perineal irregularities can be caused by birth defects, but they are most often the result of an episiotomy and perineotomy, surgical incision or spontaneous rupture of the perineum and vagina, or spontaneous rupture of the perineum during vaginal delivery.
Anomalies in the appearance of the perineum can cause a feeling of dissatisfaction, but also be a source of interference with urination, sexual intercourse and daily activities.
Perineoplasty is performed with the aim of restoring the normal appearance and function of the perineum by excision of excess skin, reconstruction of scar tissue or repair of a rupture caused by childbirth.
Due to the frequent presence of damage to the entrance to the vagina, perineoplasty is often combined with the reconstruction of this area. The procedure can be performed traditionally surgically or using laser technology.
The operation lasts about an hour and is performed under general anesthesia. After perineoplasty, there is no need to stay in the polyclinic, the patient goes to home care on the same day.
Thanks to the development of modern technology, simple, non-invasive methods are increasingly used in medicine, especially in aesthetic medicine, which primarily include the use of lasers, PRP methods and hyaluronic acid treatments.
Our experts prefer these types of procedures for minor intimate health problems because they require minimal or no recovery.
Patients are mostly extremely satisfied with the results, and the procedures are performed as outpatient procedures with a return to daily activities on the same day.
Votiva is a modern aesthetic method designed to improve women’s intimate health. By using completely safe radiofrequency technology, the relaxed inner vaginal tissue is evenly heated during the treatment.
Thanks to the action of thermal energy, inflammation of the submucosal tissue is induced with the reactivation of fibroblasts to increased collagen secretion, which increases and tightens the tone of the pelvic muscles and restores the natural moisture of the mucous membrane. This effect allows you to reduce vaginal dryness and increase the sensitivity of the intimate area, which has a positive effect on the quality of sexual intercourse.
Due to the increase in the tone of the pelvic muscles, Votiva quickly and effectively solves the problems of milder forms of incontinence that are common in women after childbirth, as a result of some previously performed surgeries or menopause. It also helps reduce pain during sexual intercourse, which often occurs in women after childbirth or entering perimenopause.
Votiva treatment is completely painless, lasting about 20 minutes. After the treatment, you can immediately return to daily activities, recovery is not required.
Many patients notice an improvement after the first Votiva treatment, and the effectiveness of the results of radiofrequency therapy increases from week to week as the pelvic floor muscles strengthen.
For women who have an incontinence problem, depending on the condition, our specialists recommend two to three treatments with Votiva technology over a period of 12 months.
This laser method involves the application of laser technology in the revitalization and restoration of tissues. With the penetration of laser light and heat energy into the tissue, collagen thickens in the vaginal tissue.
Thanks to the increased synthesis of collagen, which attracts water molecules, tissue hydration occurs. In this way, the problem of tissue dryness can be solved, but at the same time there is an increase in tissue tone, which improves the quality of sexual intercourse.
This property also allows the laser to be used as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy in menopause and in solving the problem of vaginal atrophy, for example after radiotherapy.
Laser phototherapy is completely painless for the patient and a return to daily activities is possible immediately after the procedure.
After laser treatment, it is necessary to abstain from sexual intercourse for 2 to 7 days, depending on the type of procedure, in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
Laser phototherapy has proven to be very effective in solving the aforementioned intimate health problems. According to the study, about 80% of patients noticed improvement after the procedure.
The PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) method implies the use of platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient’s own blood, which is used for tissue repair.
The procedure is done by taking a blood sample of 15 to 50 milliliters from the patient’s vein. The blood is centrifuged and pure plasma enriched with platelets and fibrin, the so-called growth factors, is obtained.
Growth factors are proteins that trigger the processes of cell regeneration, synthesis of new cells and collagen synthesis. The natural preparation obtained in this way is injected with microneedles into the skin around the ureters, clitoris and vagina.
The PRP procedure has proven to be extremely effective in solving intimate problems as part of gynecological aesthetics. By stimulating the growth of stem cells of the external genitalia and vagina, urinary incontinence is successfully treated and the quality of orgasm is improved.
The procedure lasts about 30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. It is possible to return to daily activities immediately after the procedure.
In gynecological aesthetics, low- and high-density hyaluronic acid is used. Low-density hyaluronic acid is injected into the tissue of the intimate area for biorevitalization, i.e. tissue rejuvenation.
It works similarly to laser phototherapy and the PRP procedure, hyaluronic acid molecules actively attract water to themselves, “smoothing” and moisturizing the vaginal mucosa.
Indications for the use of hyaluronic acid in gynecological aesthetics can be vaginal dryness, tissue atrophy, scarring, etc.
High-density hyaluronic acid is used to correct asymmetry, for sagging, sagging labia, in vaginal enlargement resulting from natural childbirth or menopause.
