Restore comfort, confidence, and intimate wellbeing — without surgery. Pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, and natural ageing can lead to changes in vaginal tissue, including reduced tone, dryness, discomfort, or bladder leakage. These changes are common, but they don’t have to be accepted as inevitable. At The Skin Doctor, we offer non-surgical vaginal laser rejuvenation in Melbourne using Fotona IntimaLase® and IncontiLase®, advanced treatments based on Fotona SMOOTH® Er:YAG laser technology. These treatments are designed to restore tissue health, improve comfort, and enhance quality of life — without surgery, injections, or downtime.

How Vaginal Laser Rejuvenation Works

IntimaLase® and IncontiLase® use Er:YAG laser energy delivered in SMOOTH® mode, which gently heats the vaginal tissue without cutting or ablation. This controlled thermal effect:

  • Stimulates collagen remodelling
  • Improves tissue elasticity and firmness
  • Enhances blood flow and tissue hydration
  • Strengthens support structures of the vaginal wall

Because the treatment is non-ablative, the surface tissue remains intact, allowing for comfortable treatment and rapid recovery.

IntimaLase® – Vaginal Laxity & Tissue Quality

IntimaLase® is designed to improve vaginal tone, elasticity, and comfort by stimulating collagen remodelling within the vaginal wall. It may help with:

  • Vaginal laxity following childbirth
  • Reduced vaginal tone with ageing
  • Decreased intimate sensation
  • Vaginal dryness or irritation related to hormonal change

Clinical studies using Fotona SMOOTH® technology show measurable improvements in vaginal tightness, tissue quality, and patient-reported satisfaction, with a strong safety profile.

IncontiLase® – Mild Stress Urinary Incontinence

IncontiLase® targets mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence, such as leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. By tightening and strengthening the anterior vaginal wall and surrounding support structures, IncontiLase® can:

  • Improve bladder neck support
  • Reduce leakage episodes
  • Improve confidence during daily activities

IncontiLase® is non-surgical and may be an option for women seeking an alternative to pelvic floor surgery or long-term pad use, following appropriate assessment.

What the Treatment Feels Like

  • No needles
  • No anaesthetic
  • Typically painless
  • A sensation of gentle warmth

Treatment is performed in-clinic and usually takes 20–30 minutes.

Recovery and Downtime

Downtime is minimal. Most patients:

  • Return to normal daily activities immediately
  • Experience little to no post-treatment discomfort

We recommend avoiding:

  • Intercourse
  • Tampon use
  • Swimming pools and spas

for 5–7 days after treatment.

Treatment Course

  • Typically 2 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
  • Results develop gradually as collagen remodels
  • Annual maintenance may be recommended to sustain benefits

Many patients notice improvements in comfort, tone, and confidence within weeks, with continued improvement over several months.

Is Vaginal Laser Rejuvenation Right for You?

You may be a good candidate if you experience:

  • Vaginal laxity after childbirth
  • Mild stress urinary incontinence
  • Vaginal dryness or discomfort
  • Reduced intimate sensation
  • Preference for a non-surgical approach

All patients undergo a discreet, doctor-led consultation to assess suitability, discuss expectations, and ensure treatment is appropriate.
