INTRODUCTION

Labial laser resurfacing

If you are unsatisfied with the appearance of your labia, our non-surgical laser resurfacing could be the solution.

For women unhappy with the appearance, length or size of their labia, the traditional approach has been surgical labiaplasty, a procedure that uses surgical incisions to trim and reshape the labia minora under local or general anaesthetic. The Women’s Clinic offers this procedure with the use of the surgical CO2RE Intima Laser.

However in some cases the issue is primarily one of appearance rather than size, with visibly loose, wrinkled or aged-looking skin. Given the intimate nature of this part of the body, such cases can have significant negative impacts on a woman’s body confidence, self-esteem and sex life.

To counteract these issues, the Women’s Clinic offers a non-surgical laser resurfacing method. While this approach is not suitable for reductions in labial length or size, it is a highly effective method of enhancing the appearance of the labia, to more closely match the wishes of the patient.

 

Using a highly specialised CO2 laser designed specifically for women’s intimate areas, our expert gynaecological surgeons can resurface the labia, without any cutting of tissue and without the need for general anaesthetic.

As well as the benefits of avoiding surgery (no sutures, almost zero risk of infection and no bruising), downtime is also significantly reduced with laser resurfacing and with patients usually feeling recovered within 7 days after each session. We can also combine CO2 laser with the specially formulated Neauvia fillers, which help accentuate reshaping.

We recommend a course of 2-3 CO2 laser sessions (approximately four weeks apart) for visible and lasting results, although we would expect to see some visible results even after the initial treatment.

    MORE INFORMATION

    Questions you may have about aged labia, large labia & large clitoral hood correction.

    How is it done?

    During your consultation and following your clinical examination the procedure will be explained and your preferences discussed with you. You will be assisted and referred to a surgeon for this treatment and assisted and accompanied through your surgery and recovery.

    The procedure is carried out after an application of the a topical anaesthetic (numbing cream) to the treated area to minimise any discomfort. An injection of a local anaesthetic may be offered if required.

    Once your skin is numb the laser head is used to treat both labia minora step by step, using specially selected laser settings for this particular procedure.

    You should feel no pain, but may expect some degree of discomfort during the treatment.

    There is no bleeding as no skin gets cut and therefore there is no need for any sutures.

    After the procedure, which usually lasts up to 20 minutes Sudocrem is applied to the area.

    What can I expect after Non-surgical Laser Resurfacing

    You will experience a degree of swelling and some discomfort in the area shortly after the treatment. Both should usually settle within 2-3 days or longer if more intense treatment desired.

    You will be given Sudocrem to apply to the area when required and full post treatment advice before you leave the clinic.

    You will be comfortable to leave the clinic and drive the car.

    You will also be able to pass urine without any problem.

    When will I see the effects

    You should see some reduction of your labia after the 1st treatment, as soon as the swelling goes down. However initially there won’t be a big difference as the process of tissue contraction can take 4-6 weeks. As Resurfacing is a non surgical procedure the reduction of volume, length of labia and improvement of the skin texture is achieved by an accumulative effect of repeated procedures. For best results we recommend usually 5 treatments . In some cases less or more treatments may be required to obtain a desirable result. We recommend incorporating Neauvia fillers for optimal results.

    Recovery time

    The recovery time after Non-surgical Resurfacing is much faster and the risk of problems or complications significantly lower in comparison with a surgical procedure.

    You should feel more or less back to normal within 7-10 days and can resume sexual intercourse after 7 days or sooner if the area feels comfortable. Moderate degree of pain and swelling normally lasts for the first few days and is often gone before the end of the first week.

    Here is what can you expect following each type of procedure:

    Non-surgical Resurfacing

    • Pain & swelling for a few days
    • no pain on passing urine
    • no bruising
    • no need for sutures
    • treated area staying dry
    • Sudocrem applications only
    • can continue with most of activities
    • risk of infection almost zero
    • minimal or no itching while healing
    • can resume sexual activity after 1 week
    • no time off work needed

    Surgical Labiaplasty

    • much more pain & swelling for up to 3 weeks
    • initially pain on passing urine
    • bruising for over 1 week
    • sutures needing removal
    • not uncommonly wounds oozing fluid
    • application of cold packs and sometimes topical antibiotic
    • restricted activities for up to 6 weeks
    • much higher risk of infection and wound opening
    • much more itching and irritation from stitches
    • abstinence from sexual intercourse for 6 weeks
    • time off work needed
    How long will it last

    The final result should be permanent. The shape of your labia will naturally continue to change with age.

    Is it safe

    Yes, it is a very safe procedure, much safer than surgery. The result is very natural – smaller or thinner, shorter, firmer labia with better proportions and rejuvenated new skin.

    Contraindications

    Contraindications (i.e. where the CO2RE Intima surgical laser is unadvisable) are pregnancy, active inflammation of the vagina and vulva, infection, skin diseases of this area and cancer
