Vagina Tightening Treatment: Everything You Need To Know

Many women experience changes to their intimate health; this could be for several reasons, such as ageing, childbirth or hormonal shifts that are typical before, during and after menopause. 

Vaginal laxity is a common condition that seriously impacts intimate health, so much so that sufferers are desperate to find an effective vagina-tightening treatment. The good news is that innovative therapies are readily available to help restore tightness, improve functionality, and boost self-esteem. 

This blog will take an in-depth look at three of the most effective vagina-tightening treatment options.

Understanding Vaginal Laxity

Vaginal laxity is when your vaginal canal loses elasticity. It’s a natural and common experience that all women face, especially as they age. 

Common causes of vaginal laxity are:

• Childbirth – The stretching of vaginal muscles and tissues during childbirth is a major cause of vaginal laxity.
• Ageing – As women age, collagen and elastin production naturally decrease, and this decrease often leads to reduced elasticity and firmness in vaginal tissues.
• Hormonal fluctuations – Fluctuations in oestrogen, especially during perimenopause and menopause, can contribute to vaginal dryness and reduced muscle tone.

Patients report suffering from not only physical effects of the condition but emotional effects, too. Women tend to experience reduced sensation during intercourse, which can result in a decrease in libido and overall sexual satisfaction.

Another common concern is stress urinary incontinence issues. Stress incontinence often occurs because vaginal laxity can weaken pelvic floor muscles, leading to accidental urine leakage during physical activity or coughing/sneezing.

Any one of these effects from vaginal laxity can often lead to low confidence and self-esteem, impacting everyday life.

There is good news, though, if you are suffering from vaginal laxity, and you certainly don’t have to live with it indefinitely. There are several effective vagina-tightening treatment options available to restore tightness, enhance sensation and improve overall intimate health.

Vagina Tightening Treatment 1: UltraFemme 360

The UltraFemme 360 is a non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the vaginal tissues. It can provide complete vaginal rejuvenation, including labial remodelling and vaginal tightening. Just one treatment will enhance muscle strength and reduce the laxity of your vaginal walls.

The treatment works by inserting a disposable tip of an FDA-approved radiofrequency device into your vaginal canal. The tip is then moved along the whole length of the vaginal canal towards the cervix and back towards the opening. 

Don’t worry – it’s not painful, and the UltraFemme 360 is smaller than the speculums used in smear tests. Most women find it far more comfortable!

The small band at the end of the device emits radiofrequency waves throughout the length of your vaginal canal. These waves painlessly penetrate deeply into your tissues whilst gently elevating the temperature of the cells to over 40°C.

The internal treatment takes no more than 8 minutes, while the external treatment takes up to 20 minutes. Depending on your condition’s severity and goals, up to three treatments may be necessary.

Benefits

There are many benefits associated with this vagina-tightening treatment, including:

• Improved vaginal tightness and elasticity.
• Enhanced sexual function and satisfaction.
• Reduced stress urinary incontinence.
• Quick treatment – 20-30 minutes.
• Minimal downtime and discomfort.

Vagina Tightening Treatment 2: The O-Shot

The O-Shot is another noninvasive treatment with excellent results when used as a vagina-tightening treatment. It uses a revolutionary injection procedure: platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is already used for wound healing and joint injuries. 

PRP is derived from your own blood and made into a serum that will revitalise your vagina by stimulating stem cells to produce new tissue, including collagen and fatty tissue, both of which are essential for structure and lubrication, along with nerve endings and blood vessels. 

What this results in is thicker vaginal tissue, heightened sensitivity, and increased blood flow to erogenous zones, potentially improving your overall sexual experience.

What it is: A PRP-based treatment that involves injecting platelet-rich plasma into the vaginal tissues that will stimulate natural collagen production, improve blood flow and enhance nerve regeneration.

Benefits

The benefits of this vagina-tightening treatment are:

• Increased sensitivity and lubrication.
• Helps with mild incontinence.
• Improved sexual function and satisfaction.
• Long-lasting results.

Vagina Tightening Treatment 3: Emsella Chair

The Emsella Chair is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to strengthen and tone pelvic floor muscles. The treatment involves sitting on a comfortable, chair-like device whilst being fully clothed at all times. The chair uses HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology to produce the equivalent of 11,000 Kegel exercises in every 28-minute session.

Kegel exercises are most commonly recommended for women after childbirth, and they are incredibly effective at strengthening your pelvic floor and tightening the vagina walls. However, there are only so many that the average person could do without a little help, and this is where the chair is so effective. The result of the electromagnetic pulse is stronger pelvic floor muscles and improved vaginal tightness, which is also proven to reduce incontinence.

Benefits:

This vagina-tightening treatment is very popular because it is entirely non-invasive, and you remain fully clothed throughout.

Other benefits include:

• Improved bladder control.
• Increased sexual sensation and satisfaction.
• Enhanced overall pelvic health.
• No downtime.

Treatment Option 3: Morpheus 8V 

Morpheus8V is a vaginal rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology. 

This treatment uses the same method as Morpheus 8, a popular skin-tightening treatment that uses needles emitting radiofrequency energy. Ultra-thin microneedles are carefully stamped into the skin to create a controlled injury. This process prompts your body to produce more collagen and elastin, keeping your skin firm, tight, and smooth. 

Both proteins naturally occur in your body, but unfortunately, as you age, natural production begins to slow down, and without these proteins, your vaginal health declines.

The combination of microneedling and RF energy can combat many conditions, such as vaginal atrophy, laxity, urinary incontinence and even vulva skin conditions.

Benefits:

There are many benefits to Morpheus 8V, including:

• Offering an effective non-surgical solution with minimal downtime. 
• Increased collagen and elastin production for improved elasticity, firmness and moisture.
• Improved vaginal appearance. 
• Improved sexual experience and overall wellness.

Choosing the Right Treatment for You

Any one of these treatments could help you if you are suffering from vaginal laxity, but when it comes to choosing between the three, you should consider the key differences in each treatment on offer. While each offers vaginal tightening, they provide different outcomes.

The UltraFemme 360 is best for tissue tightening and blood flow enhancement. The O-Shot is ideal for enhancing sensitivity and sexual satisfaction. Finally, Emsella focuses on pelvic floor muscle strengthening and is, therefore, the most effective method of all three treatments for incontinence issues.

In addition, there are these factors to think about:

• What is the severity of your laxity? A combination of treatments might work best for you.

• What are your desired outcomes? Are you hoping for a tighter vagina or an improved sensation? Perhaps your biggest concern is incontinence.

• Personal preferences – you might prefer a more discreet treatment or want one that offers additional benefits.
