What is Fotona IntimaLase®?
Fotona IntimaLase® is a non-ablative ER:YAG laser treatment designed to improve vaginal laxity by stimulating collagen remodelling within the vaginal walls. The controlled thermal effect tightens existing collagen fibres and promotes the formation of new collagen, leading to improved vaginal tone and elasticity.
This treatment is particularly popular among women seeking vaginal tightening in Cork following childbirth, ageing, or hormonal changes.
How Does Fotona IntimaLase® Work?
Fotona IntimaLase® is performed in-clinic and typically takes 20–30 minutes per session.
A specialised laser handpiece delivers controlled thermal energy to the vaginal tissue
Heat stimulation triggers collagen contraction and long-term regeneration
The procedure is painless, requires no anaesthetic, and involves no incisions
Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately, with sexual activity typically resumed after a short abstinence period, as advised during consultation.
A course of two to three treatments, spaced several weeks apart, is commonly recommended for optimal results.

Fotona IntimaLase® offers a wide range of intimate health benefits, including:

What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses excess, elongated, or asymmetrical labial tissue. While often sought for functional reasons, it may also improve aesthetic balance and personal confidence.
Women may consider labiaplasty due to:
- Physical discomfort during exercise or intimacy
- Post-childbirth or age-related changes
- Congenital labial asymmetry
- Irritation from clothing
- Reduced quality of life or self-confidence
Every consultation is approached with sensitivity, respect, and clinical discretion.
How Is Labiaplasty Performed?
Labiaplasty is typically performed as a day-case procedure at The Mater Private Hospital, Cork.
Performed under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic, depending on clinical assessment
Excess labial tissue is carefully reshaped using advanced surgical techniques
Emphasis is placed on preserving sensation, function, and natural appearance
Dissolvable sutures are used to support optimal healing
The procedure is tailored to each patient’s anatomy and individual goals.
Recovery After Labiaplasty
Postoperative recovery is usually straightforward:
- Same-day discharge in most cases
- Temporary swelling and mild discomfort are expected
- Return to light daily activities within several days
- Exercise and sexual activity are generally avoided for 4–6 weeks
Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up support as part of their treatment pathway.
Benefits of Labiaplasty
When performed by a specialist urogynaecologist, labiaplasty may provide:
- Reduced irritation and discomfort
- Enhanced labial symmetry
- Long-term functional results
- Improved comfort during physical activity and intimacy
- Improved personal confidence
The focus remains on medical appropriateness, function, and patient wellbeing rather than purely cosmetic outcomes.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Labiaplasty?
- Labiaplasty may be suitable for women who experience physical discomfort, functional difficulties, or reduced quality of life related to the size or shape of the labia. Symptoms can include irritation, chafing, discomfort during exercise or intimacy, or difficulties with hygiene or tampon use.
- Women seeking labiaplasty following childbirth, ageing, or hormonal changes may also be appropriate candidates. In some cases, concerns relating to confidence or emotional wellbeing may be equally important considerations.
- Suitability is determined following a detailed consultation with Professor Barry O’Reilly, Consultant Gynaecologist and Urogynaecologist, ensuring the patient is medically suitable, fully informed, and has realistic expectations.
- All decisions are patient-led, with safety, function, and individual anatomy central to the treatment approach.
