Perigenital Warts – Laser Treatment

duotone-6-2-1514908

Warts are skin lesions caused by the human papillomavirus. Their removal is not easy since warts have their own blood supply system which generates abundant bleeding. Additionally, it compromises nerve endings, causing great pain.

Warts are contagious, the patient suffers from self-infection and in turn can infect other people. Individuals with a deficiency in the immune system are more prone to contract this disease. Depending on the serotype of the virus, the affected area is different (hands, face, feet, anus-genitalia, etc).

Treatment:

Conventional treatments are based on local tissue destruction. At the Hoogstra Center we treat warts with the Erbium Lotus II Laser. The Lotus impacts the wart at high speed, causing no pain for the patient or damage to neighboring tissues. It does not leave scars. Large warts are generally removed in more than one session. After each session, no special care is required and the patient immediately returns to activity.

Shortening of the labia majora

Shortening of the vaginal labia majora is a procedure intended to reduce the length of the labia majora.

Patients who request a reduction of the labia majora do so for the following reasons.

  • Aesthetic, the labia majora are very long and hang.
  • They report discomfort to exercise.

The lengthening of the labia majora is a normal process that occurs over the years, just as the earlobes, the lips of the face lengthen and the nose descends or the nasal tip descends, the same process undergoes the lips older than the vagina.

Surgery of the vaginal labia majora is a procedure that is performed with local anesthesia and sedation.

It has the benefits that improves the aesthetics of the lips and also allows to reduce the vaginal diameter that is enlarged by the weakening of the muscular structures and childbirth.

Postoperative

Generally the scar is imperceptible. The suture is made with absorbable material which avoids the need to remove the stitches.

Generally the patient takes a week off to reduce edema and discomfort. The usual thing is to prescribe antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, cold packs in the region help a lot.

Avoid using tampons and having sex the first 4 to 6 weeks after treatment.

Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra performs the Plastic Surgery of the labia majora using Laser technology.

The expected result is a reduction of the skin of the lips, a tightening effect and a reduction of the vaginal diameter, in cases where this is also sought.

If not, work only on the labia majora.

Urinary Incontinence

La incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo (IUE) es un problema que afecta a una gran cantidad de mujeres de todas las edades, impactando significativamente en diversos aspectos de su vida diaria. Esta afección se caracteriza por la pérdida involuntaria de orina al realizar actividades que aumentan la presión abdominal, como toser, estornudar, reír o realizar ejercicio físico.

¿Qué es la Incontinencia Urinaria de Esfuerzo?

La incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo se manifiesta clínicamente como un escape repentino de orina ante un esfuerzo físico o cualquier acción que incremente la presión sobre la vejiga. Esta condición es más frecuente en mujeres que han tenido partos vaginales, debido a que el proceso del parto puede debilitar los músculos del suelo pélvico, los cuales son fundamentales para el control de la continencia urinaria. Los músculos del suelo pélvico sostienen la vejiga y la uretra; cuando estos músculos se debilitan, la orina puede escaparse de la vejiga a través de la uretra con una mínima presión sobre la vejiga.

Causas de la Incontinencia Urinaria de Esfuerzo

Entre las principales causas de la IUE se encuentran:

  • Partos vaginales: Los partos vaginales pueden causar un estiramiento o debilitamiento de los músculos del suelo pélvico.
  • Edad: A medida que las mujeres envejecen, los tejidos del suelo pélvico pueden debilitarse.
  • Cirugías ginecológicas: Procedimientos como la histerectomía pueden afectar la musculatura del suelo pélvico.
  • Obesity: El exceso de peso ejerce una mayor presión sobre la vejiga y los músculos pélvicos.
  • Tabaquismo: La tos crónica asociada al tabaquismo puede contribuir al debilitamiento de los músculos pélvicos.

Impacto en la Calidad de Vida

La IUE afecta significativamente la calidad de vida de las mujeres, limitando sus actividades diarias y generando sentimientos de vergüenza y frustración. Las mujeres con incontinencia urinaria pueden evitar situaciones sociales y actividades físicas, lo cual puede conducir a un aislamiento social y afectar su bienestar emocional.

Tratamientos Tradicionales

Tradicionalmente, los tratamientos para la IUE incluyen ejercicios del suelo pélvico (ejercicios de Kegel), terapia física, medicamentos y, en casos más severos, cirugía. Sin embargo, estos tratamientos pueden ser invasivos, dolorosos y no siempre efectivos a largo plazo.

Tratamiento Innovador: Láser de Dióxido de Carbono (CO2)

El tratamiento con láser de dióxido de carbono (CO2) surge como una alternativa innovadora y no invasiva para la IUE. Este procedimiento utiliza un láser especializado para tensar las paredes pelvianas, mejorando la continencia urinaria y ofreciendo múltiples beneficios adicionales.

¿Cómo Funciona el Láser de CO2?

El láser de CO2 emite energía que provoca una contracción y regeneración de los tejidos del suelo pélvico y del área genital. Este proceso de rejuvenecimiento aumenta la elasticidad y firmeza de los tejidos, mejorando así el soporte de la vejiga y la uretra. Además, el tratamiento estimula la producción de colágeno y elastina, componentes esenciales para la salud y funcionalidad de los tejidos vaginales.

Beneficios del Tratamiento con Láser de CO2

  • Efectividad: Mejora significativa de la incontinencia urinaria por esfuerzo.
  • Rejuvenecimiento genital: Mejora la elasticidad y secreción vaginal, lo que puede aumentar la satisfacción sexual y reducir la dispareunia (dolor durante las relaciones sexuales).
  • Procedimiento rápido: La sesión de tratamiento suele durar menos de 30 minutos.
  • Indoloro: El tratamiento es prácticamente indoloro y no requiere anestesia.
  • Sin tiempo de inactividad: Las pacientes pueden reanudar sus actividades normales inmediatamente después del procedimiento.
  • Sin efectos adversos: El riesgo de complicaciones es mínimo.

Procedimiento del Tratamiento

El tratamiento con láser de CO2 se realiza en varias etapas:

  1. Initial consultation: Es imprescindible una consulta previa con un ginecólogo para realizar un control ginecológico completo y un estudio de papanicolaou, asegurando que no existan contraindicaciones para el procedimiento.
  2. Sesión de tratamiento: La paciente se somete a una sesión donde se aplica el láser de CO2 en el área vaginal y del suelo pélvico.
  3. Recomendaciones post-tratamiento: Se proporcionan indicaciones sobre cuidados post-tratamiento, aunque generalmente no se requiere tiempo de recuperación.

Radiofrequency

Radio frequency with microneedles

Did you ever imagine what your skin would be like if your face didn't show the passing of the years? Do you know the techniques to restore to your face the radiant appearance it had at 20? An effective alternative to scalpel intervention is the Radiofrequency with Microneedles, a minimally invasive procedure that provides you with the lost collagen. We tell you all about this successful technique.

Over the years, the face loses the skin's natural collagen, fibrous molecules that form its structure and resist tensile forces. By becoming deficient in this protein, the skin begins to show no tone and reveal its first signs of aging, which from the age of 35 can become visible through lack of brightness, sagging and incipient wrinkles.

Radiofrequency with Microneedles is an innovative technology that helps regenerate the substances that are essential to keep skin smooth and young, and its application is simple and innovative, obtaining excellent results.

Radiofrequency facial What is it?

This contribution of the technology resides in the application of electromagnetic radiation directly on the aged tissue in the deepest layers of the skin, in order to cause great molecular and energy mobilization in the facial tissue.

"The Scarlet produces a gradual heating on the skin, acting mainly on the existing collagen fibers, strengthening them and producing an effect called collagen genesis (formation of new collagen), generating contraction of the skin and therefore reducing sagging", explains the Dr. Hoogstra, underlining that “during the procedure a sensation of heat is perceived in the treated area, without becoming annoying or painful. Later the skin can be seen reddened, gradually disappearing. "

Radiofrequency with microneedles applied to the face achieves contraction of the skin (lifting effect) as it redefines the contour of the face, lifts the cheekbones and eyebrows as well as the neck (dewlap), reshaping the facial area.
But its use is not limited to the skin of the skin as it is also an excellent technique to improve flaccidity in the arms, abdomen, buttocks and legs, caused by age, pregnancy or loss of muscle mass.
The results are extraordinary from the first moment, although they are gradually increasing. It is not necessary to take extraordinary measures after the procedure and does not require anesthesia. It also does not require a recovery period and it is possible to sunbathe as long as the proper protection is used.

"The result is evident from the first session since the effect is immediate when the existing collagen is contracted. In a second stage this improvement will be accentuated, achieving the maximum result around the first three months, which is when approximately the formation of new collagen is completed, "says the specialist.

The indications of the Scarlet, Radiofrequency with Microneedles They are:

  • Afirmar y tonificar la piel otorgando frescura y descanso al rostro.
  • Definir el contorno del rostro y levantar las mejillas.
  • Disminuir los surcos nasogenianos.
  • Alisar las arrugas y líneas de expresión.
  • Reducir la papada, las bolsas y las ojeras.
  • Tonificar la piel de brazo, cara interna de muslos y otras áreas corporales que lo requieran.

Radiofrequency with microneedles introduced in Latin America by Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra is indicated for both men and women who want to improve their appearance without undergoing surgery. "To obtain good results, the sessions (lasting approximately 30 minutes) should be carried out at intervals of 30 days, approximately 4 sessions are recommended, the effect being maintained for more than a year if controlled maintenance is carried out," the expert warns.

The lack of freshness and tone in the face can be restored and it is no longer necessary to expose yourself early to the scalpel. There are currently prodigious techniques that combined, are effective and powerful, reversing the signs of the passage of time and recovering the lost luminosity.
Rejuvenating is possible and having splendid skin after 35 is no longer a distant dream thanks to the advancement of new technologies in the field of aesthetic medicine.

Finally, given so many treatments, it is essential to visit specialized and recognized centers to perform aesthetic procedures, in order to ensure excellent results. For this, the responsible doctor will establish a diagnosis and based on it will plan the appropriate and adjusted treatment for each person.
