As women age it is not just the outer skin that degenerates, but also the inner part. Collagen production decreases with age and that results in the skin being less elastic. The walls of the vagina are also affected by this degenerating process. Other factors that affect the vagina are: multiple natural child births which weakens the muscles, as well as being overweight.
What are the physiological results of a soft/not so firm vagina?
- Many women suffer from Stress Urinal Incontinence (SUI). When stresses like coughing or sneezing are put onto the body, the woman will suffer from urine loss.
- Recurring Vaginal Infections.
- Affects Sexual Pleasure.
For the first time in South Africa, there is a non-invasive Laser Treatment for the above mentioned conditions. The Alma CO2 Resurfacing Laser is used. It resurfaces the skin and therefore stimulates the collagen production, tightening the vaginal wall as well.
