What is it?

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition, affecting nearly 50% of postmenopausal women or those who have had one or two vaginal deliveries. Before the introduction of ProlapLase®, treatment options were limited to support pessaries and surgical procedures — both associated with complications and high rates of adverse effects.

ProlapLase® is an innovative, non-invasive laser treatment for POP. It uses Fotona’s gentle, non-ablative SMOOTH® mode photothermal effects to tighten tissue and contract the vaginal canal.

Clinical studies confirm that it is an effective, safe, and comfortable procedure.

Advantages of the Treatment

• Effective, safe, and comfortable treatment for vaginal pelvic organ prolapse.
• Minimally invasive procedure that tightens tissues through controlled photothermal effects and vaginal canal contraction.
• No anaesthesia, incisions, or scarring — an excellent alternative to conventional methods for mild to moderate cases.
• Extremely fast recovery with no downtime.
• Patients can immediately resume normal daily activities.
• High efficacy and patient satisfaction rates.

How It Works

The ProlapLase® treatment relies on controlled photothermal effects produced by the Fotona laser on the vaginal mucosa tissue. These effects stimulate collagen remodelling and the synthesis of new collagen fibres. The resulting collagen neogenesis and remodelling lead to shrinkage, tightening, and firming of the vaginal canal — without the removal of any tissue.

The ProlapLase® protocol includes three stages:

1. Circular (360°) irradiation of the entire vaginal canal.
2. Angular irradiation of the vaginal wall area affected by prolapse.
3. Irradiation of the vestibular region and the prolapsed vaginal wall.

In most cases, patients require more than one treatment session — typically up to four.
