VAGINAL HIFU
It’s something that is often discussed in hushed tones or not at all: the effects of childbirth, of ageing on the appearance and feel of the vulvovaginal area. Millions of women experience decreased sensation during sex and even incontinence as a result of weakened and loose vaginal tissues and muscles. If this concerns you, you are not alone and there is a solution.
The VAGINAL HIFU vaginal tightening system uses high power focused ultrasound as the energy source to directly focus on the mucosal membrane, fibrous and muscular layer. Using the high intensity ultrasound waves, it penetrates the required tissue layer to stimulate collagen and elastin production which in turn leads to firmer and more youthful skin. As a result, the collagen in the area is reorganized while the outer tissue surrounding the focal area remains intact. Therefore, the ideal result of collagen concentration, reorganization and regeneration at the desired level of the treated area is achieved, resulting in tightening of the vaginal walls.
HIFU vaginal treatment has become one of the most sought-after treatments for tightening the vagina at the superficial and/or muscular level as there is little to no downtime or sensitivity after treatment, results immediately visible.
WHAT’S THE PROCEDURE
Your First Visit
We are always pleased to meet new patients! Our goal is always for you to feel welcome and comfortable.
This is a free, personal and confidential consultation visit and will require about 30-60 mins. When you make your first visit, our treatment coordinator will greet you. She will help you complete the patient history form if you have not yet done so. This is also the time to express any concerns you may have related to your health. During your initial visit, you will also learn more about your procedures of interest, what other options are available, and what can be done to help you achieve your goals. At the end of the visit, you will be able to set up your appointment with Dr Naoum. This consultation is offered to our patients free of charge.
Meet with Dr Naoum
Now, it’s time to meet with your surgeon. Expect to talk about:
- What you want to change about your lady parts, and why you want to change it
- How you feel about your body now, and how you would like to feel after surgery
- Your goals: what do you want to look like after surgery, what specific changes would you like to see
- Which procedure(s), if any, can help you achieve your goals
- What results you can expect from each procedure
- What’s involved in the surgery (anesthesia type, incisions, recovery timeframe)
- The risks and possible complications from surgery
- Your medical history (be open and honest for your safety)
Meet with your patient coordinator
Your patient coordinator is your liaison between you and the practice. She makes sure your questions are addressed quickly as you consider your options before the treatment / operation chosen as well as throughout your procedure and recovery process. She will also help you with scheduling pre-op appointments, your surgery date, and post-op appointments. At the day of your treatment appointment, your patient coordinator will help you through all the stages of your treatment procedure.
Recovery Τime
After surgery/treatment, you will stay at the clinic for 2 to 3 hours until the medicines wear off. Then you can go home. But you will need to arrange for a ride. Your doctor will tell you when you can eat and do your other usual activities. A care sheet will be given to you with detailed information on how to treat the genital area and how long it will take for you to recover. But each person recovers at a different pace. Follow the steps on the care sheet to get better as quickly as possible.
Caring for our patients during recovery
We strive to provide the highest standard of care in a safe and comforting environment providing an informed recovery phase for patients. As well as our dedicated and experienced nursing staff we also have a valuable team of support staff including 24/7 experienced personnel to answer your post-op questions and needs.
Dr Naoum himself or his medical team will also come to review you during recovery. Our friendly support staff will set up your follow-up visit, during discharge.
Prior to your discharge our experienced nursing staff will discuss with you clear instructions regarding your post operative care and guidelines. Once you have met the “Discharge Criteria”, you will be discharged safely to the care of your relative/support person.
