Jukes, a board-certified gynecologist and one of the nation’s top robotic gynecologic surgeons, our clinic in Austin offers state-of-the-art vaginal rejuvenation treatments designed to enhance comfort, confidence, and well-being.
Despite the growing awareness and acceptance of vaginal rejuvenation, misinformation still surrounds these procedures, leaving many women uncertain about their options. It’s time to set the record straight by debunking the most common myths about vaginal rejuvenation.
Myth #1: Vaginal Rejuvenation is Only for Cosmetic Purposes.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that vaginal rejuvenation is purely aesthetic. While treatments like labiaplasty can improve the appearance of the vaginal area, many vaginal rejuvenation procedures focus on enhancing function and addressing medical concerns such as:
- Urinary incontinence
- Vaginal laxity due to childbirth or aging
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Reduced sexual satisfaction
Non-surgical options like Votiva, Morpheus8V, and Aviva use radiofrequency energy to tighten and restore vaginal tissue, improving both comfort and function without surgery.
Myth #2: Vaginal Rejuvenation is Painful and Requires a Long Recovery.
Many women worry that vaginal rejuvenation is a painful process with an extended recovery time. The reality? Most vaginal rejuvenation treatments are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime. For example:
- Non-surgical treatments like Votiva and Morpheus8V involve minimal discomfort and typically allow patients to return to daily activities within a day or two
- Surgical options such as labiaplasty may involve a recovery period of one to two weeks, but advancements in technique have made the process far more comfortable than many assume
- The O-Shot, a PRP-based treatment, involves virtually no downtime and enhances sensation and tissue regeneration naturally
Modern Women’s Health prioritizes patient comfort by offering treatments with various anesthesia options, including local, sedation, and general anesthesia, depending on the procedure.
Myth #3: Only Older Women Need Vaginal Rejuvenation.
While aging can contribute to changes in vaginal tissue, vaginal rejuvenation is not just for menopausal women. Women of all ages seek treatment for a variety of reasons, including:
- Postpartum vaginal laxity
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Decreased sensitivity or discomfort during intercourse
- Labial discomfort during physical activity (e.g., cycling or running)
Myth #4: Vaginal Rejuvenation is Unsafe or Ineffective.
Safety is a top concern for any medical procedure, and when performed by a board-certified gynecologist like Dr. Lisa Jukes, vaginal rejuvenation is both safe and effective. Here’s what you need to know:
- Technologies such as Aviva and Votiva use FDA-approved radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve vaginal tissue without surgery
- The O-Shot utilizes a patient’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to naturally regenerate tissue and improve sexual wellness
- Labiaplasty, when performed by an experienced surgeon, is a highly safe and precise procedure that delivers lasting, functional, and aesthetic improvements
Myth #5: The Results of Vaginal Rejuvenation Are Temporary.
While some non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments require maintenance sessions to sustain results, many options offer long-lasting benefits. For example:
- Labiaplasty results are permanent
- Morpheus8V and Votiva promote natural collagen production, leading to long-term tissue improvement
- The O-Shot can provide enhanced sensation and function for up to a year or more
