When it comes to improving vaginal health and addressing concerns like laxity, dryness, or urinary incontinence, two popular approaches often come up: laser vaginal tightening treatments like Sciton diVa and Kegel exercises. Both have their merits, but which one is right for you? Let’s break it down in a fun and informative way!
Comparing Benefits: DiVa Laser vs. Kegels
So, youβre thinking about boosting your vaginal health and tackling issues like laxity, dryness, or urinary incontinence? Well, youβre not alone!
DiVa Laser Benefits
- Fast Results: With DiVa Laser, you can see improvements in vaginal tightness and elasticity pretty quickly—sometimes after just one session!
- Multi-Tasker: It tackles several issues simultaneously, like laxity, dryness, and urinary incontinence. Talk about efficiency!
- Easy and Simple: The treatment is noninvasive, so you donβt have to worry about pain or downtime. Itβs quick, too—just 3-5 minutes per session.
Kegel Exercises Benefits
- Free and Easy: Kegels are free, can be done anywhere, and donβt require special equipment. Whatβs not to love?
- Long-Term Gains: If you stick with it, Kegels can lead to lasting improvements in pelvic floor strength and bladder control.
- Accessible: Anyone can start doing Kegels at any time. Itβs like having a personal trainer for your pelvic floor muscles!
Improving Vaginal Tissue and Elasticity
The DiVa Laser is like a superhero for your vaginal tissue. It uses hybrid fractional laser technology to resurface the vaginal walls and heat deeper tissue layers. This process triggers the growth of new collagen and elastin, which are essential for restoring elasticity and firmness to the vaginal canal.
Itβs like giving your vaginal tissues a fresh new start, making them feel more youthful and vibrant. Plus, this treatment is non-invasive and quick so that you can get back to your routine in no time.
Kegels are great for strengthening your pelvic floor muscles, which can indirectly help with vaginal tightness by supporting the surrounding tissues. However, they donβt directly impact the elasticity of the vaginal walls.
Think of Kegels like a workout for your pelvic floor muscles—theyβre essential for overall vaginal health, but they wonβt give you that same level of tissue elasticity as the DiVa Laser.
Combining Kegels with DiVa can be a great way to maintain those results over time!
Reducing Vaginal Dryness and Discomfort
The DiVa Laser is a game-changer for reducing vaginal dryness and discomfort. It uses Hybrid Fractional Laser technology to stimulate collagen production and improve blood flow to the vaginal area. This process not only thickens and rejuvenates the vaginal tissue but also enhances natural lubrication, making sex more comfortable and enjoyable.
Kegel exercises are great for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, which can indirectly help with vaginal health. However, they donβt directly address vaginal dryness or discomfort. While Kegels are beneficial for overall pelvic health, they will not provide the same relief from dryness as the DiVa Laser.
Treating Stress Urinary Incontinence
The DiVa Laser is a highly effective treatment for stress urinary incontinence. The Hybrid Fractional Laser technology stimulates collagen production, which strengthens the vaginal walls and improves the tone of the pelvic floor muscles. This process enhances bladder control, reducing the symptoms of SUI.
The treatment is quick, lasting only 3-5 minutes per session, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. DiVa has an impressive success rate, with up to 80-90% of women experiencing significant improvements in bladder control.
Kegel exercises are a popular and accessible way to address mild stress urinary incontinence. Kegels can improve bladder control and reduce leakage during physical activities by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.
However, they require consistent practice to achieve noticeable results. While effective for mild cases, Kegels might not provide the same level of improvement as DiVa for more severe SUI.
Enhancing Sexual Satisfaction
The DiVa Laser is a game-changer for improving sexual satisfaction. By rejuvenating the vaginal tissue, it enhances lubrication, reduces dryness, and increases sensitivity. This leads to more comfortable and pleasurable sex.
Many women report heightened orgasms and improved sexual function after treatment. The laser technology stimulates collagen production, which not only tightens the vaginal walls but also improves overall vaginal health, making intimacy more enjoyable.
Kegel exercises are beneficial for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, which can indirectly enhance sexual satisfaction by improving muscle control and sensation during intercourse. However, they donβt directly address issues like vaginal dryness or decreased sensitivity. Consistent practice is needed to see noticeable improvements, and while effective, results may take longer to achieve compared to DiVa Laser treatments.
What to Expect During DiVa Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Preparation
Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream might be applied to ensure your comfort. This is optional, as many women find the procedure to be minimally uncomfortable.
Procedure
The DiVa Laser treatment involves inserting a specially designed handpiece into the vaginal canal. This device uses Hybrid Fractional Laser (HFL) technology, simultaneously delivering two laser beams.
The first laser deeply resurfaces the vaginal tissue layers, replacing damaged tissue with healthier tissue. The second laser heats deeper layers where collagen exists, stimulating its production and promoting tissue rejuvenation.
Duration
Each DiVa session is incredibly quick, lasting only about 3-5 minutes. This makes it easy to fit into even the busiest schedule.
Recovery
One of the best things about DiVa is that there’s no downtime! You can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment. However, it’s recommended to avoid sexual activity for up to 48 hours to allow the vaginal tissue to heal properly.
Follow-Up Sessions
For optimal results, most women need three DiVa sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. After completing these sessions, maintenance treatments may be recommended annually to maintain the benefits.
