What is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

The term “vaginal rejuvenation” refers to procedures and surgeries that aim to improve the appearance and/or function of the vagina.

Vaginal health deteriorates with decreased collagen production. It’s affected by age, genetics, medications, cancer, and vaginal birth. The common side effects of reduced collagen are laxity, dryness, itching, loss of sensation, difficulty with orgasm, painful intercourse, and stress urinary incontinence. All of these symptoms can affect a woman’s self esteem and confidence.

At Sweetgrass Plastic Surgery, we have helped our patients achieve improved vaginal health and sexual function since 2015 with the Juliet laser and added The Viveve® System and Love Shot in 2017. Our providers work with a wide range of female patients who are empowered to improve their vaginal and sexual health.

Benefits of Vaginal Rejuvenation

Improved Laxity

Laxity affects sensation and satisfaction with intercourse as well as stress urinary incontinence and a woman’s confidence.

  • Juliet® – improved collagen production to the vaginal lining.
  • The Viveve® Treatment – tightens vaginal tissue by increasing collagen and elastin fibers.
  • Vaginoplasty – women that have a greater degree of laxity may require a surgical procedure to tighten the vaginal canal.

Improved appearance

Tighten or remove excess labial tissue to either the minora or majora
