In a time when many women are taking to social media to reassure everyone that having a different post-baby body is natural and even good, 34-year-old Angela Timson is still looking in the other direction.
After having two “rather large” children, Timson is unsatisfied with her vagina. According to her, it’s too dry and “lax.” She wants it to return to how it was before she had children – and she found a doctor who was willing to make that happen.
Dr. Natasha Ranga at Genesis Clinic is the founder and inventor of the Nu v laser procedure. This medical procedure is meant to help women with many medical problems, like dryness or incontinence, or allow women to turn the clock back on their bodies down there.
When Timson came across Dr. Ranga’s practice online, she knew she had to reach out.
The women met, and after a quick consultation appointment, Timson was ready to pay the £500 (roughly $650) to have the procedure done on her body.
During the procedure, a speculum is inserted into the vagina through which laser energy is sent into the vagina. The vagina will contract as new tissue forms, and then the speculum is removed.
Timson claimed that the speculum is “more comfortable than a PAP smear” and the only time the procedure was uncomfortable was actually when the speculum was removed, because her vaginal muscles and tissues had already contracted.
The entire procedure was only about 30 minutes, and Timson said she returned to work immediately afterward.
Thus far, Timson has had nothing but praise for Dr. Ranga and Nu v procedure.
However, the procedure is currently only available and approved in the UK, so if you’re considering having this done, you might want to wait for more countries and doctors to begin practicing it, if not to save you money on a plane ticket, then to ensure that this procedure is medically sound.
