Gynecology (Fotona IntimaLase)

Vaginal rejuvenation is a non-surgical procedure that restores vaginal mucosa, tone, lubrication, and pelvic floor support without incisions, hormones, or downtime. At Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering we use Fotona IntimaLase, a Health Canada-approved Er:YAG laser that heats the vaginal wall to the depth that stimulates collagen remodeling. It addresses vaginal laxity, dryness, mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence, and post-childbirth changes. A trained VRA practitioner reviews your gynecological history and confirms candidacy at a private consultation.

IntimaLase delivers controlled pulses of Er:YAG laser energy to the vaginal mucosa, heating the tissue to the threshold that triggers collagen contraction and new collagen synthesis. As the collagen matrix remodels over the following weeks, the canal feels firmer and lubrication improves. The probe is applied in a rotating pattern to treat the full circumference of the canal. Treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes and most patients feel only a gentle warmth, with no anaesthesia required.

Yes. The Er:YAG laser heats the vaginal mucosa to the precise depth that triggers neocollagenesis, the body's natural collagen-rebuilding response. Published clinical studies show measurable improvement in vaginal tightness, lubrication, and mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence after the standard three-session protocol. Most patients notice changes within 4 to 6 weeks of the first session, with full results developing over three to six months as collagen remodels. Severe pelvic floor dysfunction or grade 3 prolapse typically needs surgical referral rather than laser therapy.

The Er:YAG laser applied internally produces a gentle, mild warmth that most patients find very comfortable. No anaesthesia is required and most patients are at ease throughout the procedure.

Yes, mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence responds well to IntimaLase's pelvic floor collagen stimulation. For severe stress incontinence, a urogynecologist referral may be more appropriate, and we will tell you plainly if that is the case.

Yes. IntimaLase is a non-hormonal option for menopausal patients experiencing vaginal dryness, laxity, and associated discomfort who prefer to avoid systemic hormone therapy.

We recommend abstaining from intercourse for 5 days after each session to allow the treated mucosa to heal undisturbed. You can resume all other normal activities the same day.

Yes. Fotona IntimaLase is a Health Canada-approved Er:YAG laser with an established safety record for non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation. The wavelength is highly absorbed by water in the mucosa, so energy stays superficial and does not reach deeper structures. No anaesthesia is required and no incisions are made. A VRA practitioner reviews your health history, medications, and any history of pelvic surgery or active infection before clearing you for treatment. Contraindications include active vaginal infection, pregnancy, and certain pelvic floor conditions that need surgical evaluation.
