Vaginal Rejuvenation
Are you experiencing discomfort or reduced sexual sensation due to ageing, childbirth, or hormonal changes? Vaginal rejuvenation can help you regain your confidence and sexual satisfaction.
What vaginal rejuvenation entails
Vaginal rejuvenation is an umbrella term for a series of treatments that aims to correct and restore your intimate area. It is often used to address aesthetic concerns but can help improve age-related conditions that cause functional issues.
As we age, the tissues surrounding the vagina start to lose elasticity and strength, which can impact the appearance of the labia and the functionality of the vagina. Additionally, pregnancy and childbirth can cause the vaginal tissue to become weaker, causing sagging, urinary incontinence and reduced sexual pleasure.
As a trusted medical and aesthetic gynaecologist, Dr Taheera Hassim understands the sensitive nature of these concerns and offers a safe and effective solution to address them. Through individualised treatments, Dr Hassim uses vaginal rejuvenation to restore a youthful and healthy appearance to the labia and surrounding vaginal tissue.

Preparing for vaginal rejuvenation
Undergoing vaginal rejuvenation is an exciting journey to restoring your health and confidence, but it's essential to work with Dr Hassim and follow all the necessary guidelines to ensure your health and safety.
Before undergoing any procedures, you will have a thorough consultation with Dr Hassim whereby she will ask you about your concerns, reproductive health and medical history. She may also do a pelvic exam to assess the vaginal tissue and make recommendations based on her findings.
The next stage is creating your personalised treatment plan and setting up your appointments for your following procedures.
Receiving vaginal rejuvenation
In order to receive the proper treatment, you may need to undergo several procedures or do several sessions, depending on your unique needs. This means that each individual's journey will look different.
For surgical procedures: Dr Hassim performs vaginal rejuvenation surgeries at Netcare Sunninghill Hospital. These use general anaesthesia, so you are completely asleep and pain-free during the procedure, and typically take a few hours to complete.
For non-surgical procedures: Procedures like vaginal laser require no anaesthesia and can be done on the day of your consultation in Dr Hassim's office.
Following your treatment, Dr Hassim will provide a complete care guide to ensure you have everything you need to recover well.
