Vaginal Rejuvenation

Discreet, consultant-led care for women seeking support with vaginal comfort, tone, lubrication, sexual wellbeing, and pelvic floor symptoms.

Specialist Vaginal Rejuvenation in Cork

Vaginal rejuvenation describes a range of non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments that may help women experiencing changes in vaginal comfort, lubrication, elasticity, tone, sensation, or mild urinary symptoms.

These changes may follow childbirth, hormonal change, menopause, ageing, weight change, previous surgery, or pelvic floor weakness. Professor Barry O'Reilly provides a careful, respectful assessment and discusses whether vaginal rejuvenation treatment, pelvic floor support, medical treatment, or another gynaecological option is most appropriate.

Common Concerns

Women may seek advice for a range of symptoms or concerns, including:

  • Changes in vaginal tone, laxity, or sensation after childbirth or ageing.
  • Vaginal dryness, irritation, discomfort, or painful intercourse.
  • Mild urinary leakage, urgency, or pelvic floor weakness.
  • Scarring, discomfort, or changes after childbirth, previous procedures, or trauma.
  • Loss of confidence, self-consciousness, or changes in sexual wellbeing.

Treatment Options

VAGILANGELO®

A pioneering integration of biomechanical restoration and bioregenerative techniques

In some women, ageing and childbirth can permanently alter the natural angle of the vagina. As the perineum—the area between the vaginal opening and the anus—shortens and flattens, the vaginal opening may widen and its angle can become more horizontal. This may reduce stimulation in the G zone and affect sexual satisfaction. Pelvic muscle relaxation or reduced tone along the vagina may also occur.

Traditional vaginal repair procedures may reduce the internal and external diameters of the vagina, but a narrower vaginal canal does not necessarily restore its natural angle.

VAGILANGELO® combines precise internal sutures with regenerative treatment using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or exosomes. The procedure is designed to restore the natural vaginal angle, support tissue regeneration and improve sexual function and intimate wellbeing.

Minimal discomfortLocal anaesthetic is used, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.

Bioregenerative treatment

The regenerative part of the treatment is intended to improve the tissue’s natural repair capabilities. PRP is prepared from a patient’s own blood and concentrated with platelets and growth factors. It supports wound healing, new blood-vessel formation and collagen production.

When applied to vaginal tissue, PRP is intended to promote tissue regeneration, collagen production and blood flow. By stimulating fibroblasts and endothelial cells, it may help address concerns such as vaginal dryness and looseness, revitalise the vaginal tissue and G zone, and support improved sexual gratification.

Biomechanical restoration

The biomechanical part uses precise internal sutures to restore the vaginal angle. The aim is to direct penetration towards the G zone during intercourse while addressing the structural change associated with ageing and childbirth.

G-zone injection versus G-spot injection

The idea of one focal point responsible for orgasm—commonly called the G spot—is an oversimplification. Nerve endings are distributed throughout the vaginal wall and clitoris, creating a broader anatomical zone of sensitivity. Research by Uloko and colleagues reported a mean of approximately 10,280 myelinated axons innervating the human glans clitoris. Because these nerve fibres are widely distributed, VAGILANGELO® targets the broader G zone rather than one localised point.

What to expect

VAGILANGELO® is a minimally invasive procedure focused on vaginal health, function and sexual wellbeing. Treatment usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on your individual plan. Local anaesthetic is used to minimise pain, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.

Improvements in symptoms and satisfaction are commonly reported after treatment, although individual results vary.

Your consultation

Professor O’Reilly will discuss your medical history, concerns and goals, explain how the procedure can be tailored for you, and assess whether it is an appropriate option. This is also an opportunity to ask questions and make an informed decision about your care.

Tele-consultations are available if you would prefer to begin this discussion from home.

Preparing for your visit

Preparation may include avoiding certain medications and wearing comfortable clothing. Follow the specific instructions provided by Professor O’Reilly and his team to help ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.

Recovery

Recovery is typically quick, with most patients returning to normal activities on the same day. Mild discomfort, swelling or bruising can occur but usually settles within a few days. Strenuous activity and sexual intercourse should be avoided for the period advised by Professor O’Reilly.

Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation

Non-surgical treatments may be suitable for women looking to improve vaginal comfort, lubrication, elasticity, tone, sensation, or mild urinary symptoms without an operation. Suitability depends on symptoms, examination findings, medical history, and realistic expectations.

EmpowerRF by InMode

EmpowerRF uses radiofrequency and muscle stimulation technologies to support pelvic floor strengthening and vaginal rejuvenation. It may help improve vaginal tone, lubrication, pelvic floor function, and mild urinary symptoms with minimal downtime.

Fotona Vaginal Laser

Fotona Er:YAG laser treatment is designed to stimulate collagen remodelling in the vaginal tissues. It may be considered for symptoms such as reduced elasticity, dryness, vaginal laxity, or mild stress urinary incontinence.

O-Shot

The O-shot uses platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, taken from a patient's own blood and injected around the clitoris and the vaginal G-spot area. It is intended to support sexual sensation and orgasmic response in suitable patients.

Topical anaesthetic, ice, or local anaesthetic may be used for comfort. Evidence is still developing, and it is not usually expected to help women who have never experienced orgasm.

G-Shot

The G-shot refers to placement of filler in the G-spot area. It is designed to temporarily augment this area and may be discussed for women seeking support with sexual sensation.

Results are temporary and may need repeat treatment after several months. As with all intimate procedures, a consultation is important to discuss goals, possible benefits, risks, limitations, and whether treatment is clinically appropriate.

Your Consultation

The first step is a private consultation in which your symptoms, goals, medical history, childbirth history, sexual health concerns, and any previous treatments are reviewed. Where appropriate, an examination can help identify whether symptoms are hormonal, pelvic floor related, tissue related, sexual-function related, or a combination of factors.

You will be talked through suitable options in clear language, including expected benefits, possible risks, recovery or downtime, and whether treatment is likely to meet your goals. Some women need reassurance and conservative treatment; others may benefit from non-surgical technology, injectable treatment, pelvic floor care, or a more formal gynaecological assessment.

Professor O'Reilly's approach is discreet, evidence-based, and patient-centred. Vaginal rejuvenation is never a one-size-fits-all service. The aim is to support comfort, function, confidence, sexual wellbeing, and quality of life while keeping expectations realistic and care medically appropriate.
