Vaginal rejuvenation with HIFU
Vaginal Rejuvenation is a non-surgical procedure aimed at restoring the tone, elasticity, and functionality of the vagina. It can help reduce symptoms such as vaginal laxity, dryness, discomfort during sexual intercourse, or mild urinary incontinence.
This procedure is recommended for women experiencing vaginal changes related to childbirth, aging, or hormonal imbalances (e.g., menopause).
The goal is to improve physical comfort, sexual function, and overall quality of life.
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an advanced technology that uses focused high-intensity ultrasound to create controlled thermal micro-lesions in the deeper layers of vaginal tissue without damaging the surface of the mucosa. This process triggers the natural regeneration of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins for tissue firmness and elasticity.
How HIFU Works in Vaginal Rejuvenation
HIFU technology creates controlled micro-lesions in the deeper layers of vaginal tissue. These stimulate:
- New collagen synthesis
- Remodeling of existing fibers
- Improved tone and elasticity of the vaginal tissue
- Increased local blood flow
- Stimulation of natural tissue regeneration
The effectiveness of HIFU technology in vaginal treatments has demonstrated its ability to stimulate neocollagenesis (new collagen formation) and neoelastogenesis (new elastin formation). According to data published in Lasers in Medical Science (2023), HIFU showed the highest level of neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis in the deep reticular dermis. The technology is CE-approved in the European Union for gynecological and aesthetic use.
Role of Vaginal Rejuvenation with HIFU
This procedure provides both functional and aesthetic benefits, such as:
- Toning and strengthening of the vaginal walls
- Reduction of symptoms related to vaginal atrophy
- Improvement in mild stress urinary incontinence
- Increased comfort during sexual activity
- Enhancement of quality of life and self-confidence
Indications for the Procedure
- Vaginal laxity postpartum or age-related
- Mild stress urinary incontinence
- Vaginal discomfort or dryness (vaginal atrophy)
- Decreased sexual sensitivity
- Women seeking a non-invasive alternative to gynecological plastic surgery
Contraindications
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Diabetes mellitus
- Oncology
- Sexually transmitted infections
- Acute or chronic pelvic diseases
Preparation for the Procedure
- A preliminary gynecological consultation is recommended
- Active infections or pregnancy must be ruled out
- The procedure is not performed during menstruation
Procedure Overview
- Duration: 20–30 minutes
- A special device with an intravaginal transducer is used
- It is a non-invasive procedure with no significant pain
- No recovery time required—immediate return to daily activities
Sexual activity should be avoided for 3–5 days after the procedure

The HIFU vaginal device (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is designed to correct the effects of vaginal relaxation, such as smoothing the mucosal surface and reducing the tone of the vaginal muscles, which can lead to decreased sensitivity and reduced intensity of sexual sensations.
HIFU restores lost functions by using focused high-intensity ultrasound. The device targets small areas, generating temporary heating of the tissue up to 65°C, which helps reorganize aged collagen fibers. At the same time, the mucosa and muscles are stimulated. Because the ultrasonic heating occurs in a limited area and at a precise depth, the surrounding tissues only receive a stimulating effect without being damaged or destroyed.
