ProlapLase - Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) in Baltimore, MD

ProlapLase is an effective, safe, non-surgical and virtually painless prolapse laser treatment using an Er:YAG laser. It is an alternative to common surgical procedures such as the use of meshes or slings. It can even be useful in women who have had failed surgery.

ProlapLase is a simple walk-in and walk-out prolapse procedure, with no down time required. There is no preparation required prior to treatment, and there is no need for pain-killers, antibiotics or any other medications after treatment.

• Non surgical prolapse laser treatment
• Unlike surgery, ProlapLase™ doesn’t involve injections, cutting, bleeding or sutures.
  
• Virtually painless
  
• Most women do not feel any pain during the procedure. There can be a sensation of heat at times, but this can be easily relieved by a local anesthetic gel.
  
• No down time
• It is truly a walk in and walk out procedure, with no preparation required prior to the treatment and no disruption to activities afterwards.
• No complications
• There are no reported problems with laser treatment. There’s no need for pain killers or antibiotics.

ProlapLase uses special attachments enabling the application of carefully controlled laser energy into the vaginal canal. The entire vaginal wall is treated to achieve a general tightening effect. Particular attention is then given to the front of the vagina in cases of cystocoele or the back of the vagina in cases of rectocoele.

The aim is to cause a painless heating effect, leading to a shrinkage of collagen fibers. The result is a tightening, thickening and strengthening of tissues that support the prolapsing structures.

At least three treatment sessions are required to ensure an effective and long lasting correction of prolapse. More severe cases might require up to six sessions. The effect of the laser treatment is immediate, and the result actually continues to improve for 6 months after treatment as your body lays down more collagen.
