Laser rejuvenation of the intimate area (FemTouch)

Laser rejuvenation of the intimate area, also known as FemTouch, is a modern non-invasive procedure aimed at improving the condition of vaginal tissues and addressing age-related changes of the skin in this area. The FemTouch procedure uses fractional CO₂ laser technology, which stimulates cellular renewal, improves collagen structure, and enhances blood circulation in the tissues of the intimate zone.

FemTouch helps women improve their quality of life by alleviating problems such as vaginal dryness, reduced elasticity, discomfort and pain during sexual intercourse, as well as symptoms associated with vaginal atrophy caused by hormonal changes.

Indications for the FemTouch procedure

1. Age-related changes. Decreased elasticity and loss of vaginal tissue tone caused by aging or hormonal changes during menopause.
2. Vaginal dryness. The procedure helps manage vaginal dryness, which often occurs due to hormonal changes such as menopause or after childbirth.
3. Discomfort during sexual intercourse. Women experiencing pain or discomfort during intercourse due to dryness or vaginal tissue atrophy may experience significant improvement after a course of laser therapy.
4. Urogenital symptoms. FemTouch may help in mild forms of urinary incontinence caused by weakening of pelvic floor tissues.
5. Postpartum recovery. Laser therapy helps restore vaginal tissues after childbirth, improving tone and elasticity.
6. Prevention of age-related changes. The procedure may be used to maintain vaginal tissue health and prevent age-related deterioration.

How does FemTouch work?

1. Stimulation of cellular renewal. Laser pulses create micro-injuries in the tissues, triggering regeneration and cellular renewal processes.
2. Improvement of collagen structure. Laser exposure promotes restoration and strengthening of collagen fibers in vaginal tissues, increasing elasticity and tone.
3. Hydration and mucosal restoration. The procedure improves blood circulation and stimulates natural hydration of the vaginal mucosa, helping to reduce dryness.
4. Improved microcirculation. Laser treatment enhances blood supply to tissues, positively affecting their overall condition and function.

How is the procedure performed?

The FemTouch procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require hospitalization or anesthesia.

1. Medical consultation. Before the procedure, the patient undergoes a consultation with a gynecologist, who evaluates tissue condition and confirms indications for laser therapy.
2. Procedure performance. The patient is positioned in a gynecological chair. A special disposable laser probe is inserted into the vagina, and the physician activates the laser. Laser exposure is applied along the entire length of the vagina by rotating the probe. The procedure lasts approximately 5–10 minutes.
3. After completion, the patient can immediately return to normal activities. The procedure is painless, although some women may experience mild warmth or slight discomfort.

Recovery after the procedure

FemTouch does not require prolonged recovery, and most women resume daily activities immediately. However, several recommendations should be followed to achieve optimal results:

1. Avoid sexual intercourse for 3–7 days after the procedure.
2. Avoid using tampons and vaginal products for several days after treatment.
3. Limit physical exertion during the first few days to allow tissue recovery.
4. Maintaining routine personal hygiene helps prevent potential infections.

Number of procedures

Typically, 2–3 FemTouch sessions are recommended at intervals of 4–6 weeks to achieve optimal results. The number of procedures may vary depending on individual patient characteristics and specific indications. In some cases, annual maintenance therapy may be required to preserve the effect.

Effects of the procedure

Results from FemTouch usually become noticeable a few weeks after the first session, as vaginal tissues begin to regenerate and renew. Key outcomes include:

• Improved vaginal tone and elasticity.
• Reduction of vaginal dryness symptoms.
• Improved sexual function and reduced discomfort during intercourse.
• Reduction of symptoms of mild urinary incontinence.

Advantages of FemTouch

1. No anesthesia required and minimal discomfort.
2. Immediate return to daily activities without prolonged recovery.
3. Non-surgical procedure, reducing the risk of complications and infection.
4. Many women notice improvement after the first session, with optimal results achieved after several treatments.

Laser rejuvenation of the intimate area (FemTouch) is a safe, effective, and non-invasive procedure that helps women address age-related changes and conditions associated with vaginal atrophy, dryness, and discomfort. FemTouch improves quality of life by restoring intimate health, increasing self-confidence, and enhancing sexual function. It is recommended to discuss the procedure with a physician to determine suitability and achieve the best possible results.
