Exilis Vaginal Tightening

What is Exilis Vaginal Tightening?

Exilis vaginal tightening is a non-surgical treatment that is designed to address vaginal laxity — a common and natural condition experienced by all women due to several reasons, including:

• Ageing — as women age, the body naturally experiences a decline in collagen and elastin production, leading to vaginal laxity.

• Childbirth — the overstretching of vaginal tissues or birth-related injuries can result in vaginal laxity.

• Hormonal changes — hormonal changes such as menopause can decrease vaginal tissue elasticity and strength, which causes vaginal laxity.

Vaginal laxity is a common concern among women. As the vaginal walls become loose, it affects a woman’s physical comfort, sexual satisfaction and quality of life. In fact, vaginal laxity can lower natural lubrication, resulting in discomfort during daily activities and intimacy. Beyond that, vaginal laxity can contribute to urinary incontinence, whereby a woman experiences involuntary urine leakage during exertion through coughing, sneezing and exercising. 

Since vaginal laxity can significantly affect a woman’s well-being and quality of life, the Exilis vaginal tightening offers a minimally invasive option for women who are seeking to regain a sense of control over their bodies.

How does Exilis Vaginal Tightening work?

The Exilis vaginal tightening treatment combines radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound energy to deliver controlled heat temperature to stimulate the vaginal tissues. This is achieved through:

• RF and ultrasound energy — the synergistic combination of RF and ultrasound energy delivers controlled heat temperature to precisely deliver the energy to the deeper layers of the vaginal tissues, stimulating collagen production and elastin remodeling. This results in a tighter vagina with firmer tissues.

• Controlled heat temperature — the Exilis system is equipped with temperature control mechanisms that ensure the vagina tissue is heated to the optimal level. This ensures the treatment does not damage the surrounding areas. In fact, the purpose of this controlled temperature is to induce collagen contraction and stimulate fibroblasts.

Additionally, the treatment involves a handheld device with a 360 disposable tip that is inserted through the vaginal opening and moved along the length of the vaginal canal in a slow, repetitive motion. The energy from the applicator stimulates the body’s natural regenerative process, encouraging the development of new, stronger collagen fibres over time.

• Bladder and bowel issues
• Multidirectional urine streams

What results can I expect from Exilis Vaginal Tightening?

Immediately after the first session, you may notice an improvement in vaginal tightness and elasticity within a few weeks, with continued enhancements over the next few months. In fact, between 2 and 3 months, patients often experience more pronounced tightness as collagen production increases, leading to firmer and more responsive vaginal tissue. Additionally, the full effects of collagen restoration are usually seen within 60 to 90 days after the treatment.

Individual results may vary, but you can generally expect:

• Improved vaginal tightness with initial signs of enhancement in tissue elasticity.

• Improvement in mild urinary incontinence, as the treatment can provide added support to the surrounding tissues.

• Increased sexual satisfaction due to heightened sensitivity and responsiveness.

• Reduced symptoms of vaginal laxity, which may include less discomfort or feelings of looseness.

How many sessions of Exilis Vaginal Tightening are needed?

Generally, Exilis vaginal tightening requires a series of 3 to 4 sessions, with each spaced between 1 and 2 weeks to achieve optimal results. At Astique Clinic, we encourage our patients to schedule maintenance sessions as needed to maintain the desired outcome. However, this will depend on your individual condition and aesthetic goals. 

Be that as it may, our doctors will advise you on the frequency of sessions both before and after the treatment, as part of their commitment to help you achieve your desired results.

Frequently asked questions

Is Exilis vaginal tightening painful?

The Exilis vaginal tightening treatment is painless. However, you may experience a warm yet gentle sensation throughout the procedure.

How long does one session of Exilis vaginal tightening take?

Are there any side effects that I should be aware of?

Some of the possible side effects that you may experience include mild redness and swelling. However, this will subside on its own within a couple of hours.

Is there any downtime involved?

No, the treatment requires no downtime. As such, you may resume your normal day-to-day activities immediately after the treatment.

How is Exilis vaginal tightening different from a vaginoplasty?

Exilis vaginal tightening is a non-surgical procedure that uses RF and ultrasound energy to tighten and firm vaginal tissues, improving elasticity and promoting collagen production. It is painless, requires no downtime, and provides gradual results over multiple sessions.

On the other hand, a vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that tightens the vaginal muscles and surrounding tissue by removing excess skin and muscle. This is an invasive surgery with a longer recovery time, typically chosen for more significant tightening or repair.
