As healthcare professionals, we understand the impact urinary incontinence can have on a person’s daily life. It not only affects physical health but can also take a toll on a person’s emotional and mental well-being. 

Fortunately, there are treatments available to help manage incontinence and improve vaginal health. One such treatment is the Sciton diVA laser, which has shown promising results in clinical studies and patient testimonials!

In this article, we will provide a comprehensive guide to understanding urinary incontinence and how the Sciton diVA laser treatment can help alleviate its symptoms!

Understanding Incontience and Its Impact on Daily Life

Incontinence — i.e., the involuntary leakage of urine or feces — affects millions of people worldwide and can occur at any age. It is more common in women, and its prevalence increases with age. It can significantly impact a person’s daily life, leading to embarrassment, social isolation, and reduced quality of life. It can also increase the risk of falls, skin irritation, and infections.

Incontinence can be classified into two main types: urinary and fecal. Urinary incontinence is further divided into: 

  • Stress incontinence: Caused by weakened pelvic muscles and triggered by physical activities such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
  • Urge incontinence: Caused by an overactive bladder muscle and characterized by a sudden urge to urinate, leading to leakage.
  • Mixed incontinence: A combination of stress and urge incontinence.
  • Overflow incontinence: Occurs when the bladder cannot empty, leading to leakage.

Introducing Sciton DiVA Laser Treatment for Urinary Incontinence!

The Sciton diVA laser is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive treatment that uses laser energy to improve vaginal health and manage incontinence. 

The diVa laser works by stimulating collagen production in the vaginal tissue, improving tissue elasticity and strength. As a result, the treatment helps support the bladder and urethra, reducing incontinence symptoms. 

In addition, the diVA laser also addresses other vaginal health concerns, such as vaginal dryness, itching, and painful intercourse.

What Other Vaginal Health Concerns Can the Sciton DiVA Laser Treatment Address?

The Sciton diVA laser treatment can address a variety of vaginal health concerns, including:

  • Vaginal dryness: The laser energy stimulates the production of new collagen, increasing vaginal lubrication and reducing dryness.
  • Vaginal laxity: The laser energy tightens and tones the vaginal tissue, improving elasticity and reducing laxity.
  • Vaginal itching and burning: The laser energy improves blood flow to the vaginal tissue, reducing itching and burning sensations.
  • Painful intercourse: The laser energy improves tissue health and elasticity, reducing pain and discomfort during intercourse.

How Does the Sciton DiVA Laser Treatment Work?

The Sciton diVA laser treatment is a quick and painless procedure performed in-office.

The treatment begins with a consultation to assess the patient’s medical history and determine if they are a good candidate for the treatment.

During the procedure, a small handpiece is inserted into the vagina, delivering laser energy to the vaginal tissue.

The treatment typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after!

Efficacy of Sciton DiVA Laser Treatment: Clinical Studies and Patient Testimonials

Clinical studies have shown that the Sciton diVA laser treatment is safe and effective in managing incontinence and improving vaginal health.

Patient testimonials also attest to the effectiveness of the treatment, with many reporting a significant improvement in their quality of life after undergoing the Sciton diVA laser treatment!

Is the Sciton DiVA Laser Treatment Painful?

The diVA laser treatment is a painless procedure requiring no anesthesia or downtime. Patients may experience a slight warming or tingling sensation during the treatment, but this is generally well-tolerated. After the treatment, patients may experience mild discomfort or spotting, but this typically resolves within a few days.

Factors To Consider Before Undergoing DiVA Laser Treatment

Before undergoing the Sciton diVA laser treatment, it is essential to consider several factors, including:

  • Medical history: Women with certain medical conditions may not be good candidates for the treatment.
  • Pregnancy: Pregnant women should not undergo the treatment.
  • Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding women should wait until they have finished breastfeeding before undergoing the treatment.
  • Cost: The Sciton diVA laser treatment is not typically covered by insurance in its entirety.

Preparing for Sciton DiVA Laser Treatment

Before undergoing the Sciton diVA laser treatment, patients should follow these guidelines:

  • Avoid sexual intercourse and vaginal products for at least 24 hours before the treatment.
  • Arrive at the appointment with a clean, empty bladder.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.

Post-Treatment Care and Recovery

After the Sciton diVA laser treatment, patients should follow these guidelines:

  • Avoid sexual intercourse, vaginal products, hot baths, and strenuous exercise for at least 48 hours after the treatment.
  • Use a panty liner to manage any spotting or discharge.
  • Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms or discomfort.

Patients can expect to see results from the diVA laser treatment within a few weeks of the procedure. Optimal results may take several months as the vaginal tissue continues to heal and regenerate.
