HIFU - Stress Incontinence Treatment
Prices from £500 (course of 3)
In intimate HIFU, we use high-frequency sound waves that we focus on the vaginal tissue. During the treatment, energy is released that causes the tissue to contract and stimulates collagen production. This tightens and rejuvenates the vaginal area.
Do you have any of the following problems?
- Incontinence
- Decreased sexual function
- Vaginal dryness
- Recurrent bladder infections
- Pain during intercourse
- Vaginal sagging
If so, this may be a solution for you. It is important to emphasise that vaginal HIFU is not a solution to all vaginal problems. A healthy lifestyle with adequate exercise and a balanced diet always remains paramount for a healthy vagina.
How does the intimate Hifu treatment work?
You can best compare this HIFU treatment to a vaginal ultrasound. During the procedure, the vagina is treated at different depths. The heat from the HIFU passes through the mucosa of the vaginal wall. As a result, a wound healing response of the body takes place, increasing blood flow to the vagina. The vagina becomes firmer and tighter and produces new collagen and elastin.
What are the benefits of the intimate Hifu treatment?
The intimate HIFU brings benefits on several levels:
- Counteracts incontinence (Or stress incontinence)
Common in women as they age. Incontinence is involuntary leakage of urine during activities where the pressure on the bladder is higher such as coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising. This is because there is a lack of muscle strength in the urethra caused by a weakened pelvic floor.
-> Treatment relieves the symptoms and in some cases can completely eliminate the problem.
- Tightens the vagina
After childbirth or with aging, the vaginal tissue can stretch. It feels like the muscle tissue is flabby, causing you to have less feeling in your fufu
-> HIFU rebuilds and strengthens collagen in the vaginal wall making the vagina tighter and you experience improved sexual satisfaction.
- Non-surgical treatment
Intimate HIFU is a non-invasive treatment, meaning no incisions or cuts are required.
- Hydration of the tissues
Especially in women who suffer from vaginal dryness and recurrent vaginal infections. Hormonal changes also occur in the body after menopause. This can cause the mucous membrane of the vagina to become thinner and drier which can lead to inflammation.
-> HIFU treatment repairs the vaginal wall, improves the vaginal immune system, hydration and sensitivity. Unpleasant symptoms such as itching and burning decrease.
How does the treatment proceed?
- You lie on my heated couch , covered
- Before starting the treatment you will disinfect your vagina using wipes you are given
- A type of rod (the HIFU) is inserted into the vagina
- We first test together how sensitive the zone is and how much you can tolerate
- Then we proceed to the treatment, this takes about 30 min – 45 min.
- You will be covered for the whole time but I will be there with you, taking your mind off it all
What result can I expect?
- As women age or after childbirth, vaginal tissue can weaken and become less tight. This can lead to discomfort and reduced sexual function.
- After treatment, you may observe a tightening that leads to improved sexual function and increases your sexual pleasure. Over time, the results of treatment may improve. This is because the tissue continues to improve and adapt. Depending on the person, the results of treatment are usually long-lasting and can last for months to a year.
This is what you should pay attention to before starting the Hifufufu treatment:
Precaution for Hifufufu
- Stop blood-thinning medication several days before treatment
- Before you leave, clean your vaginal area.
