Nether bits tired? Maybe rejuventat­ion’s needed…

- SHARON GORDON

HOW MANY vaginas have you seen? It’s not like you can ask the woman next to you to show you hers. How do you know if your kit is “normal”? Have you looked?

If you don’t like the look of yours or feel it is looking and feeling a bit tired, did you know you can have labia rejuvenati­on?

I was at a boring fund-raising tea when the guest speaker spoke about how to spruce-up your nether bits.

Everyone was as shocked as me, but what fun. I knew that you could have surgery to make your labia smaller, but rejuvenate­d is new. It is a non-invasive procedure. The machine used is called “Safyre”. The machine looks like any other a salon would use on your face. The probe is heated to 42°C, and rubbed on the outer and inner labia. Heating the area gives you a controlled injury which stimulates your fibroblast cells, important for stimulatin­g collagen.

The effect is a firming and plumping of the skin, making your labia look smaller and rosier.

It also helps if you suffer from incontinen­ce. Combine the labia rejuvenati­on with Ben Wa Balls and your vagina will be snappy and happy. The procedure will also help make your genitals more sensitive, improving your sex life.

Collagen takes about three months to form again, which means you will need six sessions to see the difference and then maintenanc­e for a couple of months. Madeleine and Chrissie from Canvas Aesthetics in Benoni, are the therapists who will deal with your labia in the most profession­al way.

They say labia rejuvenati­on is becoming increasing­ly popular especially, after women have had bikini and Brazilian treatments.

I would consider it purely because it increases sensitivit­y. If you are ill, have cancer, diabetes, are nursing or pregnant you cannot have the treatment. I have the number if you’re interested.
