Urinary Incontinence
Urinary Incontinence Laser Treatment
You may be experiencing involuntary urine leakage while playing with your grandchildren, lifting weights at the gym, or having a good laugh with a friend and we're here to tell you that you are not alone.
At our clinic, the majority of women that come through our doors experience urinary incontinence too. We believe that you deserve the best quality of life without worrying about a leak during the moments that mean the most.
Our Fotona IncontiLase laser treatment is designed to relieve urinary incontinence; helping to restore your confidence and your quality of life.
Treatment
Before our laser system was developed, potential treatments included at-home Kegel exercises which are largely ineffective unless you are working with a trained pelvic floor physiotherapist or, surgical implantation of a mesh urethral sling or pessaries which act as a temporary fix but doesn’t cure the problem. We are thrilled to provide our clients with truly revolutionary laser technology that delivers better results using less invasive practices. For truly premium results, we recommend pelvic floor physiotherapy as part of your holistic program.
Our procedures are designed to be gentle and relatively painless. As an extra precaution, we offer local freezing ointment to all our patients. You may feel some degree of warmth or heat but most patients can easily tolerate the slight discomfort.
Through our care, new collagen will form and the pelvic floor will be strengthened. It’s simple, non-surgical, requires no special preparation, and only takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Recovery
The procedure is virtually painless, with no bleeding, or stitches.
Recovery is extremely quick – without the need for painkillers or antibiotics – which means you can immediately resume your normal activities.
Results
Studies have shown that the Fotona IncontiLase laser treatment is just as effective for stress urinary incontinence as a mesh sling surgery but without any of the surgical complications or risks. Our laser treatments are approved by Health Canada and backed by research to be effective and safe.
