Recovery After Laser Vaginal Tightening

What to Expect When Recovering from Laser Vaginal Tightening?

After undergoing laser vaginal tightening, patients can usually return home the same day post-procedure. The vaginal tightening recovery period varies among individuals but generally spans a couple of weeks.

Here’s a weekly timeline outlining the stages of laser vaginal tightening recovery:

• Week 1: During the initial 2-3 days post-treatment, it’s imperative to protect the treated area from direct sunlight. Avoid baths, use of tampons, and vaginal intercourse. Mild side effects like redness, swelling, or slight vaginal discharge are common during this phase.
• Week 2: By this week, most patients will have observed a significant reduction in their initial symptoms. However, any sign of severe pain, excessive bleeding, or increasing swelling should be reported to your doctor immediately.
• Week 3 onwards: Most patients can resume sexual activity by this time, provided there are no signs of discomfort, infection, or bleeding. The full results of LVT may take a few months to become visible as your body produces new collagen and the vaginal tissues tighten. During this time, patients should avoid douching or using creams or medications in the vaginal area unless advised by their doctor.

Exercises to Aid Recovery After Laser Vaginal Tightening

Physical activity is an essential part of the vaginal-tightening recovery period. However, it’s crucial to perform the right exercises that do not strain the treated area. Your doctor will guide you on when to resume these workouts.

Here are a few recommended exercises to ensure vaginal tightening recovery:

• Kegel Exercises: These involve contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles, which can strengthen the vaginal area.
• Pelvic Floor Exercises: These strengthen the muscles that support the uterus, bladder, small intestine, and rectum.

Low-Impact Activities: Engage in activities like yoga and walking to aid recovery.
