Vaginal Tightening Procedure Options

Vaginal Tightening Procedure Options

Vaginal Tightening

Childbirth, aging, and hormonal changes may cause vaginal laxity and changes in the appearance of a woman’s genitals. Many women are not comfortable with vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, and other invasive vaginal rejuvenation procedures. There are several non-surgical cosmetic options as well which can help with vaginal rejuvenation.

Radio frequency (RF) and laser energy-based procedures can help stimulate collagen production. G-spot sensation and volume can be improved by dermal filler injections. Dr. Q Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Suzanne Quardt, provides both surgical and non-surgical vaginal tightening treatment options to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding communities.

RF and Laser Treatments

CO2RE Intima laser and radiofrequency (RF) systems have gained immense popularity in recent times for improving vaginal looseness and vulvar sagging. This is done in a non-invasive manner. The procedure is carried out by providing gentle waves of laser pulses and radio frequency energy directly in the vulvo-vaginal area in a non-invasive way.

Controlled heat is generated in the targeted layers that help in tightening internal vaginal laxity and external labia. The tissues in response contract into a tight bundle. Fresh collagen production is also stimulated in this heat-based technique. It allows for natural and longer lasting results that support tissue and nerve healing.

Vaginal tightening can be created with RF or laser procedure. Results are usually noticeable by the patient and her partner in a short period of time. Sagging is significantly reduced by the tightening of the labial tissue. Most patients can wear tight fitting clothing without feeling self-conscious.

Advantages of CO2RE Intima laser for tightening of the vagina:

  • Minimize the effect of aging and childbirth on the vagina and vulva
  • Tighten vaginal muscles and tissues
  • Restore the flexibility, tone, and shape of your vagina
  • Mitigate vaginal itching, discomfort, and dryness
  • Enhance sexual satisfaction and intimacy
  • Restore your vulva’s cosmetic appearance

Dermal Filler Treatments

Dermal filler injections can help with volume enhancement in the labia majora area. The procedure can be carried out as an in-office procedure. Women bothered by loss of bulk and atrophy in their labia majora or mons pubis can achieve higher satisfaction rates and outcome with dermal filler injectable treatment. The treatment is FDA approved.

Dermal fillers are of several types. Your volume enhancement injection treatment can be customized according to your needs. The most appropriate filler will be recommended by the surgeon as per your personal preferences and extent of vaginal laxity. Hyaluronic acid based fillers are the usual choice because they are safe and biocompatible. The treatment doesn’t require any allergy test as well.

You can achieve G-spot enhancement as well with dermal filler injections. The location of a patient’s G-spot is usually determined during the pre-procedure consultation at the time of initial examination. Generally, the G-spot is located about 1 – 3 inches within the vagina. It is just beyond the vaginal opening. Tampons are usually inserted to soak up excess drainage after the injection.

XEOMIN Injections Can Help Reduce Frown Lines

XEOMIN Injections 

Frown lines form because underlying facial muscles contract when you make certain expressions. As your skin ages, over time, these repeated expressions create lasting frown lines. Xeomin is a popular neurotoxin which can block the release chemicals responsible for causing muscle contractions.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) provides Xeomin anti-wrinkle injection treatments to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding locations.

Safe and FDA Approved Treatment

Xeomin is FDA approved for the treatment of adults suffering from moderate to severe frown lines in between their eyebrows. It is also a prescription medication for adults with blepharospasm or cervical dystonia. Botulinum toxin A is the main ingredient in Xeomin which is made from the same bacteria that is responsible for botulism.

Botulinum toxin helps in blocking nerve activity within the muscles causing a temporary reduction in activity. The FDA approved Xeomin based on two clinical trial results held in the US and the Journal of Neurological Sciences published a study on the safety and efficacy of Xeomin. The study stated that Xeomin was “non-inferior” to Botox when used in similar doses for treating cervical dystonia.

Xeomin has also been approved for treating cosmetic indications, such as moderate to severe frown lines appearing between the eyebrows. Doctors have largely started using Xeomin for both on-label and off-label treatments now that the prescription medication is FDA-approved. It is used similarly to Botox® and Dysport® for treating crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines.

Advantages of Xeomin

Xeomin is the first neurotoxin that doesn’t require refrigeration before use. This goes a long way in simplifying distribution. It has no additives and is plain botulinum toxin type A. This means that there is lower risk of developing any antibodies against it as compared to other neurotoxins. Antibodies are the body’s natural response to attacks and foreign invaders.

These antibodies can prevent the neurotoxin from having the desired effect. It takes a week for the effects of Xeomin to manifest. Results can last anywhere from 3 – 6 months. It’s vital that Xeomin is not used interchangeable with other products containing botulinum.

How Xeomin Works

Xeomin is a prescription medication for improving the appearance of frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. It reduces the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines or frown lines in adults. When people squint or frown, their muscles between the brows contract. This causes the skin to develop folds and furrows over time. Sun exposure and aging may result sin persistent frown lines.

Xeomin is injected directly between the brows in the muscles. The neurotoxin acts quickly on muscle nerve endings to cause a temporary cut-off in all communication between the muscle and nerve ending. Your facial muscles will relax immediately, which will reduce the contractions. This will make the frown lines disappear or fade away completely from between the brows.

Laser Lipolysis – One Day Non-Surgical Fat Removal

Laser Lipolysis

Laser lipolysis med spa treatment involves the use of laser energy to redefine the appearance and shape of your body. There are several different kinds of lipolysis procedures, such as radio frequency and injection treatments. However, laser lipolysis is the most reliable and popular option.

Lipolysis involves targeting small fat deposits in specific body parts. You are a good candidate for this procedure if you have fatty tissue on your hips, abdomen, buttocks, or thighs. Laser lipolysis is not recommended for overweight people.

Dr. Q Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q), provides laser skin care treatments to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding communities.

Benefits of Laser Lipolysis

Lipolysis offers the same benefits as other procedures for removing fat. Laser lipolysis is a safe and proven clinical procedure. It doesn’t involve extensive skin burns. Scarring and risk of infection is minimal. There are several advantages of laser lipolysis over invasive cosmetic surgeries, such as liposuction.

Laser lipolysis can be performed at your doctor’s office or medical spa. You do not need hospitalization for this treatment. The procedure involves a short recovery period. Most patients resume normal activities in a few days.

Noteworthy benefits of laser lipolysis include:

  • Minimal risk of infection in the treated area
  • Minimal risk of scarring
  • Short recovery period as compared to other fat removal procedures
  • Normal activities can be resumed after 7 days

What Does it Involve?

Laser lipolysis involves using light beams to break down fat cells. This reduces fatty tissue volume in the target area. The procedure also helps in tightening the skin. You may notice clearer, smoother and tighter skin after getting laser lipolysis.

Most sessions don’t last for more than an hour. You won’t need to be sedated for the procedure since there is minimal discomfort involved. In most cases, you will only need one session to achieve your aesthetic goals. This is true even if you want multiple areas to be treated.

Laser Lipolysis Procedure

Laser lipolysis is performed in a sterile environment to minimize the risk of infection. Your treatment will most likely take place in your doctor’s office. You will be prepped for the procedure and given a sterile gown or scrub to wear.

The doctor may inject a local anesthetic in the treatment area to minimize discomfort. A tiny incision about a millimeter long will be made on the target area. This is done to focus laser beams on unwanted fat deposits.

Your doctor will use this incision to insert the laser underneath the topmost layer of the skin. The laser device will be moved back and forth to hit the fat deposits from different angles. You may feel a cold or hot sensation. Fat deposits are vacuumed or massaged out after the treatment.

You should be able to resume most normal activities immediately after the treatment. You would be able to get up and walk around without any difficulty. Dr. Q Med Spa receives patients from Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby areas for advanced laser skin enhancement treatments.
