IncontiLase® is a gentle laser procedure for treating stress and mixed urinary incontinence. Laser light in a patented Fotona SMOOTH® pulsing mode is delivered to the vaginal surface through a specially designed delivery system that is designed to be gentle and painless. It results in mild heating of the tissue, which triggers the formation of new collagen and strengthens pelvic support, helping to effectively stop or minimize involuntary urine leakage during physical activities, coughing or sneezing. The treatment works best in mild and moderate stress urinary incontinence patients, with very good results in for severe stress urinary incontinence as well. Mixed incontinence patients get relief in stress symptoms.
IncontiLase® works on connective tissue in the vaginal mucosa, with emphasis on the anterior vaginal wall. It improves urethral support through photothermal strengthening of the vaginal mucosa tissue. The resulting collagen neogenesis and remodeling leads to shrinkage and tightening of irradiated tissues and a reduction of unwanted urine leakage.
The effectiveness of IncontiLase® has been shown in numerous clinical studies, which have been published in peer-reviewed medical journals.

Stress Urinary Incontinence

»My patients have been very happy with the idea of an office-based solution for stress urinary incontinence. In particular, it is an ideal option for young women who have not yet completed their family and for women with young... children who are not yet mobile (both groups that would not be appropriate for mid-urethral sling surgery). It has also proven to be an ideal option for women who cannot take time off from work as well as for those who have concerns related to the use of mesh in stress incontinence surgery. Our patients are very aware of the international concerns that have been raised with regard to transvaginal mesh, and despite reassurances about stress incontinence surgery, many are keen to look at newer options like transvaginal laser therapy.
I think we have reached a very exciting time in gynecological surgery with the use of transvaginal laser therapy. This is a unique therapy with a great future and it is important that gynecologists and urogynecologists embrace the future.«
