Female Stress Urinary Incontinence
Laser
therapy is useful for the treatment of mild and moderate stress urinary
incontinence.
This
technology works based on non-ablative photothermal stimulation of collagen
neogenesis which may result in shrinking and tightening of vaginal mucosa
tissue and collagen-rich endopelvic fascia, which ultimately can result
in subsequently greater support to the bladder.
The
indications for laser therapy are mild and moderate stress- and mixed-urinary
incontinence (SUI). Preliminary clinical studies show that it is an efficient,
easy-to-perform and safe procedure without any anaesthetic or down time.
Laser with
proprietary “Smooth-mode” technology thermally affects the vaginal tissue,
stimulating “collagen remodeling” and activates the synthesis of new collagen
fibers in the region of the vestibule and urethral orifice, as well as in the
area along the anterior vaginal wall.
The final
result of collagen neogenesis is the shrinking and tightening of vaginal mucosa
tissue and collagen-rich endopelvic fascia and subsequently greater support to
the bladder and the return of normal continence function.
