Surgical Labiaplasty vs Laser Labia Remodeling
Confidence is crucial to a healthy sexual life. For most women, that level of confidence is due in large part to being comfortable with their body. Unfortunately, for women with a labia that is loose, wrinkled, or above average in size, that can be easier said than done. For this reason, many women turn to expensive and painful labiaplasty surgery.
The good news is that recent advancements in medical technology now offer patients a number of non-invasive and minimally-invasive alternatives to traditional labiaplasty. At Better U Medical Spa in the Fort Lee, NJ area, we are pleased to offer these state-of-the-art treatments to our patients.
Now, women in the Englewood, Hackensack and Fort Lee, NJ area are able to enjoy the benefits of traditional labiaplasty without any of the pain, expense, or downtime of surgery. The labiaplasty alternatives we offer are capable of shrinking, tightening, and improving the overall appearance of your labia in ways that are just as effective as labiaplasty.
In this article Fort Lee, NJ area board certified gynecologist and women’s sexual health expert Dr. Hetal Gor explains the differences between surgical labiaplasty, and non-surgical laser and radiofrequency labia remodeling.
The Downside to Surgical Labiaplasty
Surgical labiaplasty is known as both “labia edge excision” and “amputation labiaplasty”. Labiaplasty surgery involves physically cutting off excess skin from the labia, which requires the patient both receive anesthetic beforehand and sutures afterwards.
Labiaplasty surgery typically requires at least two days of bed rest afterward. And, there is typically at least a week of downtime, while women need to exercise caution when returning to their normal, busy lives. Even worse, strenuous activity and sexual intercourse should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
While healing from labiaplasty surgery, the woman will be required to wear a menstrual pad since there is typically some bleeding – as well as bruising – lasting up to a week. Pain medication is often needed to manage the pain during healing – which can also impact a woman’s ability to drive.
In addition to the lengthy downtime, the risks of labiaplasty -like any surgery- include infection, permanent changes in sensation, ongoing pain, and scarring.
Non-surgical Alternatives to Labiaplasty
At Better U Medical Spa in in the Fort Lee, NJ area we offer our patients both the Morpheus8 Radiofrequency treatment and AccuTite laser labia remodeling as non-invasive alternatives to surgical labiaplasty.
Morpheus8 uses a precise “Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device,” that emits radiofrequency energy to remodel the labia on a deep cellular level. By melting away fat and tightening the skin of the treatment area, patients are provided with a smaller, smoother, and more youthful-looking labia.
Morpheus8 Radiofrequency is renowned for its ability to tighten, tone, and contour the skin. When used on the face, the treatment’s remarkable rejuvenation abilities have earned it the nickname of “non-surgical facelift.” But when implemented as an alternative to labiaplasty, that same level of rejuvenation still occurs. For this reason, at Better U Medical Spa in Englewood, NJ, we affectionately like to refer to the Morpheus8 Radiofrequency as being a “facelift” for your labia!
Additionally, we offer an innovative laser technology that is another highly effective non-surgical alternative to traditional labiaplasty. Called AccuTite, this minimally-invasive laser treatment has been expertly designed to contract, smooth and tighten the skin on small treatment areas. For this reason, AccuTite is ideal for application as an alternative to surgical labiaplasty.
And, unlike traditional labiaplasty surgery, Morpheus8 and AccuTite patients experience no downtime and do not require the use of pain medication. Morpheus8 and AccuTite patients are able to resume all of their normal activities, including strenuous exercise or sexual intercourse, as soon as they leave our Englewood, NJ medical spa – and are even able to drive themselves home.
Additionally, unlike labiaplasty surgery, with both Morpheus8 and AccuTite there is no risk of infection, no danger of loss of sensation, no ongoing pain, and no scarring.
