Like Mona Lisa Touch, Intima Laser also needs to refrain from sexual intercourse or inserting anything into the vagina for about three days, such as tampons, but there is little pain and you can return to your daily life immediately after the treatment.

However, since the discharge may temporarily increase after the treatment, it is a good idea to prepare a sanitary napkin discharge sheet or something similar.

Vaginal hyphen

Vaginal hyphen is a treatment that uses a lens to collect light at one point to generate energy, generating ultrasound to promote collagen growth without damaging the surface of the vaginal mucosa.

Compared to vaginal lasers, heat can be applied deeper into the tissue (SMAS muscle layer)This effectively tightens the vagina and increases elasticity.

The most important feature of yoniHIFU is that its illumination port is the surface.

In traditional hyphs, the irradiation ports are point-like or linear, so differences in finishing due to the practitioner's skill tend to occur more easily.

However, yoniHIFU has a mechanism that allows heat to be transferred over a wider area by using the irradiation port as the surface. This allows for high effectiveness in all treatments without any differences in the finish depending on the treatment.

There are no particular things to be careful about after the treatment, but pain during the treatment varies from person to person. If you are worried about pain, anesthesia may be available, so it is a good idea to consult before receiving the treatment.
