Laser treatments are a highly advanced cosmetic technique that utilize non-invasive laser energy to address a range of skincare concerns. Whether you have skin damage, wrinkles, or would like to enhance the overall quality of the skin, laser skin rejuvenation can be an effective treatment option. Here’s everything you need to know about this procedure.

How Does Laser Skin Rejuvenation Work?

The laser skin rejuvenation procedure uses non-invasive laser energy to exfoliate damaged skin layer by layer. With precisely controlled light energy, it is possible to target and eliminate sun damage, discoloration, scarring, and other imperfections. The laser energy also stimulates collagen production in the body, which can help produce tighter, firmer and healthier skin in the weeks following treatment.

When Will I Notice Results from Laser Skin Rejuvenation?

Immediately after laser skin rejuvenation, patients will notice a reduction in the appearance of skin damage. As the skin heals and collagen production increases in the body, patients will notice a brighter, enhanced complexion that results in an improved skin tone and texture. These results will develop gradually over the weeks following treatment, and can continue to develop for as long as six months after treatment. However, most patients notice significant results from treatment about one or two months after their appointment.

Is There Downtime After Laser Skin Rejuvenation?

After laser skin rejuvenation, there is very little downtime due to the non-invasive nature of the treatment. Most patients are able to return to work and other activities within a few days. However, once the skin is exfoliated during treatment, the newly revealed skin will be highly sensitive. It may also be reddened, similar to a sunburn. The skin will heal within a week or two of treatment, but it is important to protect the skin from sunlight and other irritants during this time.

For many women, events such as childbirth, menopause, and the many hormonal changes that happen along the way can result in changes to the vagina. Over time, many women experience a feeling of laxity, stress urinary incontinence, less lubrication, decreased sensation during sex, and less tone in the labia majora.

Although formerly issues that were not discussed, it is becoming more and more common for women to broach the topic of vaginal changes with their doctors, families and friends. And, as a result, greater focus has been placed upon finding effective solutions to address these needs. One such solution for vaginal laser therapy is the diVa™ Vaginal Laser Therapy by SCITON.  So, if you are curious about vaginal laser therapy and want to learn more, you have come to the right place.

What is Vaginal Laser Therapy?

 Designed to bring the vagina back to its pre-childbirth and pre-aging vigor, vaginal laser therapy is often described as a procedure that tightens up the vaginal wall. In many cases, vaginal laser therapy procedures have been known to help decrease stress urinary incontinence and increase sexual pleasure, serving functional concerns, as well as more cosmetic ones.

How Does the diVa™ Laser Work?

 The diVa™ laser is an innovative method for addressing a variety of vaginal concerns. The procedure is based on Hybrid Fractional Laser Technology–the technology used in the highly successful Halo™ treatments— and is the first of its kind to allow the provider to customize the treatment for each patient’s desired results. The handheld instrument used for the procedure is a single-use Strengthened Quartz Dilator (SQD). The handpiece rotates through the treatment area, constantly delivering pulses through a new section of quartz to ensure high quality results.

Not only does the laser provide more uniform, customized results, it also reduces the chance of cross-contamination and makes the downtime between treatments much shorter.
