Laser Vaginal Tightening
& Incontinence Treatment

Laser Vaginal Tightening (LVT) is a non-surgical medical procedure which uses the thermal effect of lasers to contract the collagen and reticular fibers of the submucosa or epithelium (vaginal mucosa) and thus decrease the vaginal diameter and length, producing a tightening effect. This effect is called Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation and is achieved without surgery. Next Health offers this treatment at our Ashburn, VA and Bethesda, MD locations, serving patients throughout the DMV area

Why Laser Vaginal Tightening?

As women age, collagen and estrogen levels naturally decline. This causes the vaginal tissue to lose elasticity, a condition known as vaginal laxity, which often makes women consider treatment options to restore comfort and confidence. Childbirth is one of the most common causes, as the vaginal canal stretches and some tissue fibers weaken during delivery. Frequent intercourse over time can also contribute to this gradual change.

Vaginal laxity is a common experience, yet many women hesitate to seek treatment for it. With advanced technology like the Candela CO2RE Intima, this condition can now be treated safely and effectively, without surgery.

If dryness or discomfort during intercourse is your main concern rather than looseness, Vaginal Atrophy treatment may be more suitable.

How It Works

With the use of the “ERBIO: YAG Laser Smooth Pulse”, which provides a caloric-tensor effect on the tissue, the diameter of the vagina can be reduced. This produces an immediate narrowing, which increases friction, which may enhance sexual sensation, and can also help reduce mild incontinence symptoms. Reduces incontinence. It is a simple, outpatient procedure that does not cut tissue, does not cause discomfort during or after treatment, and does not require downtime or recovery. We only advise refraining from intercourse for 3 days, in order to recover natural moisture of the canal, which is a transitory effect of the heating treatment.

The procedure is performed in a gynecological position. A special speculum is placed, into which the hand piece of the laser that will carry the light is introduced through a gold cone refracting 360 degrees, heating the entire surface of the vagina. Several passes and reinforcement in the “G-spot” (lower 1/3) are performed, pulsating at each segment of the vaginal length. Then the pixelated hand piece that fragments the laser beam, pulses in the vaginal introitus.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Vaginal Tightening

Laser vaginal tightening is a non-surgical procedure that uses laser energy to heat the vaginal tissue. The heat stimulates collagen production, which firms and tightens the vaginal walls over time. It does not involve any cutting or stitches.

No. The procedure typically causes mild warmth rather than pain. A topical anesthesia spray is applied beforehand, and no incisions are made.

Women who experience vaginal looseness after childbirth, aging, or menopause, or who have mild stress incontinence, are typically considered candidates. A medical evaluation is needed beforehand to confirm suitability, since certain health conditions may rule it out.

Cost varies based on the number of sessions needed and individual treatment goals, so it is determined on a case-by-case basis after a medical evaluation.

Laser vaginal tightening is considered a minimally invasive procedure, and many physicians report positive outcomes when it is performed by a trained, licensed provider. It’s worth noting that in 2018, the FDA issued a general advisory about energy-based “vaginal rejuvenation” devices, cautioning that their safety and effectiveness for treating menopausal symptoms and incontinence had not been formally established, though serious complications are uncommon when the procedure is done by an experienced medical provider. A thorough medical evaluation before treatment helps confirm it’s an appropriate option for you.

Results are typically noticeable by around 3 months for tightening and around 4 months for incontinence-related improvement. Because the effect is not permanent, yearly maintenance sessions are generally needed.

Yes. The same laser technology can tighten tissue near the bladder neck, which may reduce mild to moderate stress incontinence, such as leakage during coughing, sneezing, or exercise.
