The Role of Laser Machines in Gynaecological Treatments

 

For over 15 years, Fotona has developed effective laser machines for gynaecological treatments, enhancing precision and patient outcomes. Initially used for aesthetic and dermatological purposes, lasers have since expanded into gynaecology. The use of CO2 lasers for treating gynaecological conditions dates back to 1973, with applications growing in areas like vaginal rejuvenation, labiaplasty, and more.

Popular Lasers in Gynaecology

Several types of lasers are used in gynaecology, including CO2, Nd: YAG, and Er: YAG.

In 2011, Fotona became the first company to introduce Er: YAG laser in gynaecology. It has proven especially effective for minimally invasive treatments, reducing patient recovery times and improving results. Popular treatments include vaginal tightening (IntimaLase®), stress urinary incontinence (IncontiLase®), and vaginal atrophy (RenovaLase®).

Benefits of Laser Technology

  1. Minimally Invasive: Lasers offer precise targeting with reduced tissue damage and quicker recovery times.
  2. Reduced Bleeding and Scarring: Laser coagulation reduces bleeding and results in less scarring.
  3. Faster Healing: Patients typically experience less post-operative pain and faster healing times compared to traditional surgeries.

Challenges of Laser Use in Gynaecology

Despite its benefits, laser technology comes with drawbacks such as higher costs, limited availability due to the need for specialised training, and potential for tissue damage if improperly used. Additionally, not all conditions can be treated with lasers.

Fotona laser in gynaecology has revolutionised treatments, offering less invasive options with faster recovery. As advancements continue, lasers are poised to play an increasingly vital role in women’s health.

How Does ProlapLase® Work?

  ProlapLase® is a cutting-edge non-invasive treatment designed to address pelvic organ prolapse (POP) through the use of Fotona lasers . Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition affecting almost half of women who have given birth. Traditional treatments often involved pessaries or surgical procedures, both of which carried risks and complications. In Fotona laser gynaecology , ProlapLase® emerged as a modern solution with minimal discomfort and no need for surgery. The Science Behind ProlapLase® The treatment uses a specially developed Er: YAG laser in a mode known as SMOOTH®. This laser generates photothermal effects in the mucosa tissue of the vaginal canal, stimulating collagen remodelling and encouraging the formation of new collagen fibres. The results are shrinkage and tightening of the vaginal tissue without the need for incisions or removal of tissue. The Procedure ProlapLase® is conducted in three steps: Circular laser irradiation of the vaginal can...
