What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Traditionally, hormone replacement therapy (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) is used for women who experience an imbalance or loss in hormone production as they age. HRT can also be used for testosterone replacement in men.
Typically, blood work will help a physician understand a patient’s hormone needs. However, it’s always optimal to treat each individual patient through a holistic approach that considers their symptoms in conjunction with blood work, rather than simply treating the results of their blood work alone.
Why Might Someone Want Vaginal Rejuvenation?
There are many reasons to get a vaginal rejuvenation. Some women may not have ever been happy with the look or feel of their vaginal or vulvar area, and others may have experienced changes from a variety of life events.
Many people opt for vaginal rejuvenation due to cosmetic reasons, but there are health reasons to consider as well. A variety of causes from genetics to childbirth to aging and more can cause the vagina and surrounding tissues to lose strength and elasticity, which can lead to a host of issues including:
- Urinary incontinence
- Low libido
- Vaginal dryness
- Lack of vaginal sensation
- Difficulty achieving orgasms
- And more
Post-Pregnancy Changes
Some of the vaginal changes that may occur post-pregnancy include:
- Looseness
- Dryness
- Tearing
- Scar tissue
- Painful sex
- Urinary incontinence; or
- Problems achieving orgasm
Vaginal rejuvenation procedures can help address and reverse these issues.
The Aging Process
The natural aging process and the depletion of estrogen due to menopause can cause changes to your vaginal tissue. Problems that may arise from this include:
- Loss of elasticity and strength
- Dissatisfaction with the appearance of the vulva and surrounding areas
- Lack of sexual satisfaction
- Urinary incontinence
- And more
Vaginal rejuvenation procedures can tighten things up, helping restore sexual pleasure, urinary health, and aesthetic concerns to what you experienced in your younger years.
Sexual Discomfort
There can be several vaginal conditions that lead to sexual discomfort. These include:
- Dryness caused by genetics, childbirth, or aging
- Long labia that get pulled or chafed during intercourse
- Embarrassment about your appearance during sex
Your sexual health involves both your physical and mental well-being. Vaginal rejuvenation procedures can address these issues, allowing you to be comfortable in your own skin again in every way.
What Are the Possible Benefits of Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Vaginal rejuvenation offers a variety of benefits. Treatments are customized to address your individual needs and desired changes.
The procedures available are designed to restore your sexual health and function by:
- Increasing lubrication
- Enhancing libido and orgasms
- Repairing scars and stretched tissue
- Restoring the appearance of the vulva

What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery?
Vaginal rejuvenation surgeries are procedures designed to alter the appearance of the area and correct any medical or sexual health issues patients are experiencing due to genetics or physical changes. They are performed by a gynecologist or plastic surgeon and typically involve sedation or anesthesia.
Dr. Farhina Imtiaz, MD, FACOG, is an experienced gynecological surgeon serving patients at Reveal Med Spa in Houston, Texas. Dr. Imtiaz will meet with you, perform a physical exam and listen to your concerns, then make recommendations about which vaginal rejuvenation surgery might work best for you.
Types of Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation Offered at Reveal Med Spa
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgery designed to change the size and shape of your:
- Labia majora
- Labia minora; or
- Both
It involves removing tissue from the labia to reduce their size.
If you don’t like the appearance of your labia because they’re too long and find them catching on clothes, causing pain or pulling sensations during sex, or showing when wearing a bathing suit, their size can be reduced with this procedure. Reveal Med Spa offers a non-surgical labiaplasty option as well.
Vaginoplasty
Vaginoplasty is a procedure that tightens the vagina when it becomes loose due to childbirth or aging. It may involve:
- Removing extra tissue or sagging skin
- Reducing the size of the vaginal opening; and
- Using stitches to secure loose skin to the vaginal canal
Dr. Farhina Imtiaz, MD, FACOG can also provide non-surgical vaginoplasty treatment options.
Perineoplasty
Perineoplasty is also called perineal repair. This surgery helps improve the appearance of the opening of the vagina and can also strengthen the area between the vagina and anus as needed.
Perineoplasty usually involves removing tissue and repairing underlying muscles before stitching the area closed.
G-Spot Amplification
This office procedure is designed to increase the size and sensitivity of the G-spot to enhance orgasms. It involves injecting fillers or PRP into the septum between the vagina’s anterior wall and the bladder.
In addition to g-spot amplification, the provider at Renew Med Spa can provide clitoral amplification which involves injecting filler or PRP into the clitoris to improve sensitivity. This procedure can help patients become easier to stimulate and help with reaching orgasms.
What Is Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Non-surgical methods of vaginal rejuvenation are also options to help tighten and tone your vaginal area. They tend to be non-invasive and have a short recovery time.
If you’re nervous about undergoing surgery, talk to Dr. Imtiaz about Reveal Med Spa’s non-surgical options and see if they might meet your needs.
Types of Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation Offered at Reveal Med Spa
ThermiVa®
ThermiVa® uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to gently heat the tissues of your vagina and vulva. This stimulates collagen production to:
- Tighten the tissues
- Reduce vaginal dryness
- Improve urinary incontinence
- Help achieve orgasms
- Help with certain chronic conditions of the vulva, such as lichen sclerosis
This treatment and device are designed to be delivered at your comfort level and require no downtime afterward. If you are experiencing chronic irritation, it is advised to make an appointment with your provider to discuss further options.
Orgasm Shot
An Orgasm Shot can enhance sexual pleasure and address symptoms like urinary incontinence with injections of revitalizing platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
This non-surgical option is an alternative to G-spot amplification and involves injecting PRP into the clitoris and vagina. The results of the orgasm shot will wear off eventually, so the procedure needs to be repeated periodically.
