Frequently Asked Question
All Sabrina treatments are based on a Hybrid Traid laser, that are delivered to the vaginal wall mucosa, generating controlled and optimal distribution of heat within the tissue and enabling collagen remodelling and nucleogenesis.
The 1470 nm wavelength, allows for a highly controlled, safe procedure with no impact to any critical structures, including any penetration or disruption of the mucosal surface. That makes the procedures gentle and safe, without compromising effectiveness.
Local anesthesia is not required, as the treatment is not painful .
Yes, a standard gynecological examination is required.
Yes, these include some pre-existing conditions and pathologies, which are comprehensively stated in the application manuals. Some contraindications include pregnancy, vaginal infections or injuries and other pathologies.
Although an improvement of symptoms is usually noticed already a few days after the procedure, optimal results start to show from one month to six weeks after the initial treatments, as the effects are due to the formation of new collagen in the treated tissue.
Four procedure sessions with 15 days intervals are standardly performed and achieve optimal results. However, some patients may require additional treatments.
The results have been shown to be stable up to 24 months post-treatment. After this they start to slowly diminish. A maintenance treatment of one session per year is thus advised after the initial series of sessions to achieve lasting optimal results.
This is a walk in / walk out procedure, although, patients should abstain from lifting heavy objects and undertaking long periods of sustained exercise for a period of up to 10 days.
Yes, we can expect some degree of improvement in most cases, decreasing unwanted leakage and the use of pads, while complete dryness is reached in a smaller percentage of cases compared to the dryness rates in patients with mild and moderate incontinence.
Yes, we can expect some degree of improvement in most cases, which may postpone the need for a surgical procedure.
This cannot be the case as the treatment results in only a shrinkage of existing collagen and stimulates the production of natural collagen, enabling regeneration to the pre-condition state.
No special preparation required.
The procedure is simple to learn and doctors can expect to be able to perform the procedure following a 1- or 2-day training programme.
The treatments are pain free, safe and well tolerated and last 60-120 seconds. Side effects are usually minimal and transient: most women report only slight redness or slight swelling. These troubles, immediately after the session, usually resolve with a 24-48 h rest and vaginal creams application, hot tub bath, and vigorous physical exercise.
It is recommended that all Sabrina laser systems are serviced at least once a year. The cost of servicing varies from country to country.
