How does vaginal tightening with BTL Femme 360 work?

During vaginal tightening with the BTL Femme 360, a special probe, similar to an ultrasound probe used in gynaecological treatments, is gently inserted into the vagina. This probe emits radiofrequency energy evenly in 360 degrees, gently heating the surrounding tissue. The even rotation of the probe treats the entire tissue without overheating certain areas.

What is done?

During the treatment, the probe is inserted into the vagina and slowly rotated. It heats the tissue to a therapeutic temperature of around 40 to 45 degrees Celsius. This heat triggers the tightening process by activating and forming new collagen in the tissue. The treatment affects both the existing collagen and the production of new fibres.

Is treatment with radiofrequency for vaginal tightening painful?

Patients generally find the treatment pleasantly warm and pain-free. As no incisions are made and the tissue is only heated, the method is minimally invasive and well tolerated. In some cases, a slight feeling of warmth or short-term reddening may occur.

How long does the treatment take?

A single treatment session with the BTL Femme 360 takes around 10 to 15 minutes. The treatment is therefore very short and can be carried out on an outpatient basis without any problems.

Does the radiofrequency treatment for vaginal tightening have to be repeated?

Several sessions are usually recommended for optimum results. As a rule, two to three treatments at intervals of a few weeks are recommended. An annual refresher treatment can be useful to maintain the result in the long term.

How long do the results of a radiofrequency treatment for vaginal tightening last?

The results of a vaginal tightening with BTL Femme 360 usually last around 12 to 18 months. The exact duration depends on factors such as age, tissue quality, lifestyle and hormonal situation. To stabilise the result in the long term, we recommend a refresher treatment once a year.

Due to the natural ageing process or after childbirth, tissue slackening and hormonal changes can cause the vagina to widen, which can affect sexual sensation. This can be remedied by a vaginal tightening. A muscular tightening of the vagina is usually necessary (e.g. after multiple births).

Another problem is scarring in the area of the vaginal entrance after childbirth or perineal incisions, which can also lead to impaired sexual intercourse. In this case, the scarred tissue is excised during correction and the vaginal entrance is restored.

Both procedures are performed under general anaesthetic. We recommend an inpatient stay at our clinic. You should also refrain from sexual intercourse and tampon use for approximately 6 weeks.
