Laser Urinary Incontinence Treatment
What Is Laser Urinary Incontinence Treatment (IncontiLase)?
Involuntary urine leakage while coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising (stress incontinence) is a condition that reduces the quality of life for many women, but can now be resolved without the need for surgery. Laser urinary incontinence treatment is a procedure that tightens the tissues supporting the urethra without surgery, incisions, or pain.
In Ankara, Prof. Dr. Nuray Bozkurt offers her patients the opportunity to confidently return to social life with just a 20-minute application, using the patented IncontiLase protocol of Fotona Smooth Laser technology. This method is a “gold standard” solution, especially for women who are hesitant about surgical intervention or who have mild-to-moderate urinary incontinence complaints.
How Does Laser Stop Urinary Incontinence?
The primary cause of urinary incontinence is the relaxation of the pelvic floor tissues that support the urethra from below and of the anterior vaginal wall. Laser technology addresses this problem at its root:
-
Photothermal Tightening: Laser energy heats the tissues of the anterior vaginal wall in a controlled manner.
-
Collagen Support: This heat instantly shortens existing collagen fibers while triggering the body to produce new, strong collagen.
-
Urethral Support: The tightened and thickened vaginal wall provides natural “hammock” support to the urethra.
-
Result: When intra-abdominal pressure increases (such as with coughing), the urethra stays in place and leakage is prevented.
Comfort of the Procedure: What Do You Feel During the Session?
Laser urinary incontinence treatment is comfortable enough that our patients call it a “lunch-break procedure.”
-
No Pain or Discomfort: Because Fotona Smooth technology does not burn the tissue, no sharp pain is felt during the procedure. Our patients only describe a mild warmth and fullness sensation in the vaginal area.
-
No Anesthesia Required: The procedure does not require local or general anesthesia. This completely eliminates side effects that can occur after anesthesia, such as nausea or fatigue.
-
No Incisions or Bleeding: Since no surgical incision is made, no stitches are needed and no wound requiring dressing forms after the procedure.
Number of Sessions and Success Rate
While the effectiveness of the treatment varies according to the patient’s degree of urinary incontinence and tissue structure, our general protocol is as follows:
-
Ideal Number of Sessions: Generally, 2 or 3 sessions performed 4-6 weeks apart are sufficient for full recovery.
-
Onset of Effect: Many patients notice they are more in control in daily life (during coughing, sneezing) right after the first session. However, collagen remodeling in the tissue peaks at the 3rd month.
-
Durability: The effect of the laser is long-lasting. A “maintenance session” performed once a year to slow the natural effects of the aging process helps preserve the results achieved for a lifetime.
What to Watch Out for After the Procedure
The greatest advantage of laser treatment is that the patient can return to normal life as soon as she leaves the clinic. Still, following a few rules is helpful to support tissue regeneration:
-
Brief Rest: You can return to work immediately after the procedure, but avoiding strenuous physical activity that day is recommended.
-
Sexual Intercourse: Sexual intercourse should be avoided for approximately 3-5 days to allow tissue sensitivity to subside.
-
Hot Environments: Hot baths, saunas, or steam rooms should be avoided for the first 24 hours.
-
Heavy Lifting: Care should be taken not to lift heavy loads that would excessively increase intra-abdominal pressure during the first few days after treatment.
