Feminine Vaginal & Pelvic Health Care Treatments Singapore
Vaginal Laxity & Incontinence in Singapore: Real Solutions
Feminine health concerns, such as vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, and pelvic organ prolapse, are among the most undertreated medical conditions affecting women in Singapore. Many women accept these changes as an inevitable consequence of childbirth or ageing, or feel too uncomfortable to discuss them with a doctor. They are neither inevitable nor untreatable.
At SL Aesthetic Clinic, we offer a range of clinically validated, non-surgical treatments for feminine health concerns. These are medical treatments, not cosmetic procedures, and they are approached with the same clinical rigour and patient privacy as any other area of medicine we practise. All consultations are conducted confidentially by our doctors, and every treatment recommendation is preceded by a thorough assessment of your specific concerns and medical history.
Why Do Feminine Health Concerns Develop?
The most common feminine health concerns we treat are driven by two primary physiological processes: mechanical changes from childbirth, and hormonal changes from ageing and menopause.
Childbirth and pelvic floor changes. Vaginal delivery, particularly multiple deliveries, deliveries of large babies, or prolonged labour, places significant mechanical stress on the vaginal tissue, pelvic floor muscles, and the ligaments supporting the pelvic organs. This can result in vaginal laxity, weakened pelvic floor musculature, stress urinary incontinence, and, in some cases, early pelvic organ prolapse. These changes can manifest immediately postpartum or develop progressively over the years following delivery.
Hormonal decline and genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). As oestrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, the vaginal tissues undergo significant structural changes: the vaginal mucosa thins, lubrication decreases, the vaginal pH shifts, and the tissue becomes less elastic and more prone to irritation. This constellation of changes, collectively termed Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), causes vaginal dryness, discomfort, pain during intercourse (dyspareunia), urinary urgency, and recurrent urinary tract infections. These symptoms affect a significant proportion of postmenopausal women and are frequently underreported and undertreated.
Both categories of change are clinically addressable with the treatments described below.
Who Are These Treatments For?
The feminine health treatments at SL Aesthetic Clinic are appropriate for women who are experiencing one or more of the following:
- Vaginal laxity, following childbirth or due to ageing a sensation of looseness that affects sexual satisfaction or confidence
- Stress urinary incontinence: leaking urine when laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercising
- Urinary urgency or overactive bladder: a sudden, difficult-to-control urge to urinate
- Vaginal dryness, discomfort, or pain during intercourse related to menopause or hormonal changes
- Mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse is a feeling of pressure, heaviness, or bulging in the pelvic region
- General vaginal rejuvenation for women seeking to restore vaginal health and function
A consultation with our doctors at SL Aesthetic Clinic is required before any treatment. The appropriate treatment depends entirely on your specific symptoms, their severity, and your medical history.
Our Feminine Health Treatments at SL Aesthetic Clinic
We offer five clinically distinct feminine health treatments, each addressing different concerns. Your doctor will recommend the appropriate treatment or combination based on your assessment.
IntimaLase
IntimaLase is a non-surgical treatment that uses laser energy to stimulate collagen production in the vaginal walls, helping to address vaginal laxity that commonly develops after childbirth. The treatment requires no anaesthesia, incisions, or sutures, making it a comfortable option for women looking to restore tightness and improve their intimate wellbeing. Its effectiveness for vaginal laxity is supported by published clinical data, with high patient satisfaction reported.
IncontiLase
IncontiLase uses the same laser platform as IntimaLase, specifically configured to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the involuntary leakage of urine that can occur during exercise, coughing, sneezing, or laughing. It works by strengthening the vaginal tissue that supports the urethra, helping to reduce or eliminate leakage during physical activity without surgery, incisions, or mesh implants. IncontiLase is suited to women with mild to moderate SUI. Your doctor at SL Aesthetic Clinic will assess your symptoms and advise whether IncontiLase is likely to be effective for you, or whether another approach may be more suitable.
RenovaLase
RenovaLase is a non-surgical laser treatment that addresses vaginal dryness, irritation, and discomfort caused by hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause. By stimulating collagen production in the vaginal tissue, it helps restore comfort and improve vaginal health without introducing hormones, making it a suitable option for women who prefer to avoid hormone replacement therapy.
ProlapLase
ProlapLase is a non-surgical laser treatment that helps improve the support structures of the vaginal wall, reducing symptoms associated with mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse such as pelvic pressure or discomfort. It is a suitable option for women looking to manage early-stage prolapse symptoms without surgery.
EMSELLA
EMSELLA uses electromagnetic technology to stimulate thousands of pelvic floor contractions in a single session, far more than Kegel exercises alone can achieve, helping to strengthen the muscles responsible for bladder control and pelvic support. The treatment is performed fully clothed with no intravaginal components, making it a comfortable option for women who prefer to avoid intravaginal procedures. EMSELLA’s effectiveness for urinary incontinence is supported by published studies, and it is also a popular choice for women looking to maintain pelvic floor strength after childbirth.

Feminine Health Treatment Details
IntimaLase — Vaginal Tightening
IntimaLase is a non-surgical vaginal tightening treatment that uses Er:YAG laser energy delivered into the vaginal canal via a specially designed intravaginal probe. The controlled thermal effect of the laser stimulates new collagen production and remodelling in the vaginal mucosal and submucosal tissue, resulting in thickening and tightening of the vaginal walls over a course of treatment.
IntimaLase is designed specifically for women experiencing vaginal laxity, a loosening of the vaginal canal that most commonly occurs following childbirth, particularly multiple vaginal deliveries. The treatment is non-surgical, requires no anaesthesia, and involves no incisions or sutures. There is no downtime in the conventional sense, most women can resume normal daily activities immediately. Sexual activity is typically avoided for 7 days following each session.
A standard course of IntimaLase involves 2 sessions spaced 2 months apart. Results develop progressively over 2 to 3 months following each session as new collagen matures. Published clinical data support its efficacy for vaginal laxity, with high patient satisfaction reported. A maintenance session is recommended approximately 12 to 18 months after the initial course.
IncontiLase — Stress Urinary Incontinence
IncontiLase uses the same Er:YAG laser platform as IntimaLase but is specifically designed and protocol-configured to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the involuntary leakage of urine that occurs during physical exertion, coughing, sneezing, or laughing. SUI is caused by weakened urethral support and a deficiency in the anterior vaginal wall that normally provides support to the urethra during increases in intra-abdominal pressure.
IncontiLase delivers laser energy to the anterior vaginal wall and the region of the urethrovesical junction, stimulating collagen remodelling that thickens and tightens the anterior vaginal tissue and improves urethral support. This reduces or eliminates urine leakage during physical activities without surgery, incisions, or mesh implants.
IncontiLase is most effective for mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence. Severe SUI or cases where there is a significant anatomical defect may require surgical correction, and your doctor at SL Aesthetic Clinic will advise honestly on whether IncontiLase is likely to be sufficient for your degree of incontinence. Clinical studies report significant improvement in SUI symptoms in the majority of patients treated. The standard course involves 2 to 3 sessions.
RenovaLase — Vaginal Atrophy & Dryness
RenovaLase is a non-surgical laser treatment designed for women experiencing vaginal atrophy, the thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls that results from the oestrogen decline of perimenopause and menopause. Vaginal atrophy causes persistent vaginal dryness, irritation, burning, pain during intercourse, and urinary symptoms, including urgency and frequency.
RenovaLase uses gentle, non-ablative Er:YAG laser energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the vaginal mucosa, increasing tissue thickness, improving mucosal hydration, and restoring the functional health of the vaginal epithelium. Unlike hormonal therapies, RenovaLase does not introduce exogenous hormones and is therefore appropriate for women who cannot or prefer not to use hormone replacement therapy, including women with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers, subject to appropriate medical clearance.
Results develop over 4 to 8 weeks following each session. Most patients report meaningful improvement in vaginal dryness, discomfort, and sexual satisfaction after a course of 3 sessions. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 12 months.
ProlapLase — Pelvic Organ Prolapse
ProlapLase is a non-surgical laser treatment for mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse (POP), a condition in which the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, or rectum) descend into or beyond the vaginal canal due to weakening of the pelvic floor support structures. POP causes symptoms including a feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvis, a visible or palpable bulge at the vaginal opening, difficulty with urination or defecation, and pelvic discomfort.
ProlapLase uses Er:YAG laser energy delivered to the vaginal walls to stimulate collagen remodelling and tissue tightening in the support structures of the vaginal vault, improving the structural support of the prolapsed organs and reducing prolapse symptoms. It is appropriate for Grade I to II prolapse mild to moderate cases where the prolapse is symptomatic, but surgery is not yet indicated or is being avoided. Grade III and IV prolapse typically requires surgical correction.
ProlapLase does not reverse the anatomical descent of organs; it reduces symptoms by strengthening the vaginal wall tissue support. Your doctor will assess your degree of prolapse and be direct with you about whether ProlapLase is appropriate or whether surgical referral is the right course.
EMSELLA — Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
EMSELLA uses High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce supramaximal contractions of the entire pelvic floor musculature, contractions far stronger than can be achieved voluntarily through pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises). A single 28-minute EMSELLA session induces approximately 11,000 supramaximal pelvic floor contractions, re-educating and strengthening the muscles responsible for urinary continence and pelvic support.
EMSELLA is performed fully clothed. The patient sits on the EMSELLA chair, which delivers the electromagnetic energy through the seat. There are no intravaginal components. It is the most accessible and least invasive of the feminine health treatments we offer, and is well-suited to a broad range of patients, including those who are not comfortable with intravaginal procedures.
EMSELLA is clinically validated for both stress urinary incontinence and urge urinary incontinence, with published studies demonstrating significant reduction in incontinence episodes and improvement in quality of life. It is also effective as a preventative treatment for women wanting to maintain pelvic floor strength after childbirth or as a proactive measure before significant pelvic floor weakening develops. A standard treatment course involves 6 sessions over 3 weeks. Maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months are recommended for sustained results.

FAQ
Are feminine health laser treatments safe?
The Er:YAG laser platform used for IntimaLase, IncontiLase, RenovaLase, and ProlapLase has been used in gynaecological applications for over a decade and has an established clinical safety profile supported by published research. The treatments are non-ablative at the energies used for feminine health applications, meaning they stimulate tissue remodelling without removing or destroying tissue. When performed by an experienced doctor following the appropriate clinical protocol, the risk of adverse events is low. Your doctor at SL Aesthetic Clinic will review your medical history and identify any contraindications before recommending treatment.
Are these treatments painful?
Discomfort levels vary between patients and treatments. Most women describe the laser treatments as producing a mild warming sensation during the procedure — not pain. EMSELLA produces strong muscle contractions that feel unusual but are not painful for most patients, though the intensity of sensation increases with the energy level used. All treatments are well-tolerated by the majority of patients without anaesthesia. Your doctor will explain what to expect and adjust treatment parameters based on your comfort.
Is there downtime after feminine health laser treatments?
There is no conventional downtime; most women resume normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Sexual activity is avoided for 7 days following each laser treatment session to allow the treated tissue to heal optimally. Strenuous physical activity involving significant pelvic pressure is also avoided for the same period. EMSELLA has no restrictions post-treatment.
How many sessions are required?
The standard protocol varies by treatment. IntimaLase and IncontiLase typically require 2 sessions spaced 2 months apart. RenovaLase typically requires 3 sessions. ProlapLase requires 2 to 3 sessions, depending on prolapse severity. EMSELLA requires 6 sessions over 3 weeks for the initial course. Your doctor will confirm the appropriate number of sessions for your specific degree of concern at the consultation.
How long do results last?
Results from the laser treatments typically last 12 to 18 months before a maintenance session is recommended. EMSELLA results are maintained for approximately 6 to 12 months, with a single maintenance session recommended every 6 to 12 months. Individual results vary based on age, degree of initial concern, hormonal status, and ongoing lifestyle factors, including continued pelvic floor exercise.
Can I have treatment if I am postmenopausal?
Yes, several of our feminine health treatments are specifically indicated for postmenopausal women. RenovaLase is designed primarily for postmenopausal women experiencing vaginal atrophy and dryness caused by oestrogen decline. IntimaLase and EMSELLA are also appropriate for postmenopausal women experiencing vaginal laxity or urinary incontinence. Your doctor will review your hormonal status and medical history at the consultation to confirm which treatments are appropriate for you.
Can I have treatment if I am not sexually active?
Yes. Feminine health concerns affect quality of life independently of sexual activity. Urinary incontinence, vaginal discomfort, and pelvic pressure cause a significant daily impact regardless of a patient’s sexual activity status. All of our feminine health treatments are appropriate for women regardless of whether they are sexually active.
Can these treatments be combined?
Yes, combination protocols are common and often more effective. IntimaLase and IncontiLase are frequently combined for women experiencing both vaginal laxity and stress urinary incontinence, as both concerns often share a common underlying cause. EMSELLA complements the laser treatments by rebuilding pelvic floor muscle strength. The laser treatments address the vaginal tissue directly, while EMSELLA addresses the muscle support. Your doctor will advise on the optimal combination for your specific symptoms.
Is there any condition that would make me unsuitable for these treatments?
There are contraindications for each treatment that your doctor will review at consultation. General contraindications for the laser treatments include active vaginal or pelvic infection, current menstruation, pregnancy, severe prolapse (Grade III or IV), and undiagnosed abnormal vaginal bleeding. EMSELLA is contraindicated in patients with metal or electronic implants in the pelvic area, including IUDs of certain types, copper coils, and joint replacements in the hip. Your doctor will review your full medical history before recommending any treatment.
Will my consultation be kept confidential?
Yes. All consultations at SL Aesthetic Clinic are strictly confidential. Feminine health concerns are clinical medical matters, and they are treated with the same privacy and discretion as any other medical consultation. You are not required to disclose your visit to anyone, and our team is trained to handle these consultations with sensitivity and professionalism.
