There can be several reasons for considering either non-surgical vaginal tightening, or surgical vaginoplasty (aka virgin tightening surgery). Aging, weight loss, childbirth can all have an impact on the functioning of the vaginal area. The laxity and looseness in this area can affect a woman’s sexual gratification, body image, comfort and self-confidence. As the tone of the vaginal wall relates to the state of the collagen fibres, this loosening of tone can also be associated with reduction in sexual gratification, stress urinary incontinence, repeated vaginal infections.
Application of Thermal Non-Ablative Energy using either Laser energy (like CO2 Laser) or using Radiofrequency energy as with our Forma V wand, can tighten the collagen fibres and supporting tissues of the vagina.
Reforme Medical is the first clinic in Wales to acquire the FDA approved, safe and highly effective Forma V system for non-surgical vaginal tightening for Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), it acts by increasing the collagen tissue, improving blood flow to the area and can relieved dryness, sensitivity and relieve symptoms like painful intercourse.
Non-surgical vaginal tightening can further help with reduction of stress urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness and recurrent vaginal infection; in most patients it will have a positive impact on their sexual satisfaction.

Do I need Non-Surgical Vaginal Tightening or Surgical Vaginoplasty?
This a question you and our specialist gynaecologist will sit down and answer, as only a gynaecological examination will reveal the nature of the issues you are experiencing.
As you can well understand there is a limit to how much tightening can be achieved non-surgically and there will be situations where you will be advised that a surgical intervention is a better option in your case.
Who will do the procedure and what happens during the is Forma V radiofrequency vaginal tightening treatment?
At our clinic our gynaecologist will provide the procedure. After the first consultation you will be told if the degree of vaginal looseness needs 2 treatments or 3–4 treatments. Each treatment is done about 4–6 weeks apart, generally with a maintenance treatment once a year.
The procedure is very quick and relatively painless and, in most instances, there is very little or no downtime.
You should not wear a tampon or have sexual intercourse for 5–7 days after the treatment to allow the tissues to settle down and heal, after which you can get back to your normal routine.
What do I do before the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation or Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation procedure?
You should have an up-to-date PAP smear result within 1 year of the treatment, before we start the treatment. We advise our patients to wait at least 3–6 months after a vaginal delivery to have any tightening treatments. They should also not have the treatment while breast feeding. We plan your treatments when you are not having your menstrual cycle.
