The gentle Fotona SMOOTH® technology can also be used to treat pelvic organ prolapse. Special patented laser pulses are delivered through the vagina to the problematic prolapsed areas and to the whole surface of the vagina. The results of the ProlapLase® procedure are a strengthening of the tissue and a decrease in prolapse stage. Regular ProlapLase® treatments can help to delay or even avoid more invasive procedures for pelvic organ prolapse treatment and significantly improve the quality of life in patients that choose not to have surgery. It has proven to be a safe and non-invasive alternative to traditional methods. Although it works best for lower prolapse grades, good results have been shown also for higher grade prolapse.
The effect of ProlapLase® therapy on the improvement of the POP grade of cystocele.
95% of the patients showed a reduction of at least one grade, 85% of which had achieved grade 0 or I, and 15% achieved grade II. 90% of the patients were very satisfied or satisfied with the treatment.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

»The effects of ProlapLase® on the initial steps of POP are really encouraging, mainly when we are dealing with a defect of the anterior vaginal wall, the cystoceles. However, when a woman is presenting with a severe grade of... hysterocele, a prolapse of the uterus with minimal if any prolapse of the vaginal walls, the laser procedure cannot be effective. Patient selection is by far the most important and limiting factor for ProlapLase® effectiveness. The gynecologist must select the proper patient: ProlapLase® is a great option in young women with anterior wall prolapses or in women of all ages with cases of vaginal laxity, particularly those who have delivered large babies, and it’s more common with ageing. The treatment can restore a woman’s self-confidence and sexual gratification.«
