Innovative Urine Incontinence Treatment Method "Inconti Lase"

Inconti Lase is a revolutionary method for preventing urinary incontinence - a noninvasive treatment for mild and moderate stress urinary incontinence.

During the treatment with laser Er:YAG manipulations are done to enhance the shrinking and tightening of vaginal mucosa tissue and collagen-rich endopelvic fascia to subsequently add greater support to the urinary bladder.

Clinical studies have shown that this is an efficient, easy-to-perform, safe and comfortable procedure.

Indications for Inconti Lase therapy - mild and moderate stress- and mixed-etiology urinary incontinence.

How does Inconti Lase work?

Fotona's 2940 nm Er:YAG non-ablative laser with proprietary "Smooth-mode" technology thermally affects the vaginal tissue, stimulating collagen remodeling and the synthesis of new collagen fibers in the region of the vestibule and urethral orifice, as well as in the area along the anterior vaginal wall.

The final result of collagen neogenesis is the shrinking and tightening of vaginal mucosa tissue and collagen-rich endopelvic fascia and subsequently providing a greater support to the bladder and the return of a normal continence function.

Unique advantages of the Inconti Lase laser treatment:

• Procedure is done without an incision and is virtually painless - with no ablation, cutting, bleeding, or sutures;
• Recovery is extremely quick - no need for the use of antibiotics or analgesics;
• Fast results - usually two sessions are required to treat a mild or even moderate urinary incontinence;
• Simple process - only some pre-operation tests and examinations are required - a blood test (to determine the blood glucose level, test for sexually transmitted diseases, hepatitis B or C), urinalysis, pap smear, microbiological smear and pelvic ultrasound examination;
• No special pre-operation or post-operation precautions are necessary;
• Patients can immediately return to their normal everyday activities.

Studies show that:

• this laser therapy is an effective, safe and comfortable treatment method for symptom relief in patients with mild and moderate stress urinary incontinence;
• Almost 70% of the patients are free from urinary incontinence after 120 days;
• 94% of patients reported improvement 120 days after the treatment;
• 68% of all the patients claim to be free of stress urinary incontinence symptoms 120 days after treatment;
• Improvement has been stated in all measured parameters;
• No adverse events have been noted in any of the medical studies.

Even though urinary incontinence has a number of reasons (urinary bladder disorders, diseases, surgery, etc.), the reason for urinary incontinence in most women are the perineal muscle weakness. If this problem is not solved - perineal muscle weakness increases with the age.

Depending on the extent to which the perineal muscle strength is weakened the urinary incontinence is divided into three grades - light, medium and heavy. The good news is - you do not have to put up with the urinary incontinence anymore - it can be treated. "After finding the problem, first the Doctor has to make medical examinations to determine the precise diagnosis in order to choose the most efficient form of treatment. In some cases medication and drugs can help, in some other cases medication has no effect at all, but good results may be achieved with, for example, special exercises or other treatment methods. There is even treatment method that involves botulinum toxin injections, but in most extreme cases it is impossible to cure this condition without operative interventions" says Capital Riga Clinic Gynecologist, Obstetrician Ieva Daize. Out of all Doctors most women entrust their Gynecologists first their concerns about urinary incontinence.

 

Testimonials

• I am a mother of two babies. After my second child was born, I started to experience urinary incontinence symptoms during physical activities and it was not pleasant. I heard that it is possible to solve this problem in Latvia without surgery - with the Inconti Lase procedure and I decided that I want to try it out. The procedure took about 15 minutes. During the procedure I did not experience any pain or discomfort. After the first treatment I felt terrific results. Based on the medical advice given by my doctor I repeated the procedure after 21 days to strengthen the therapy results. I can only say the best. I am very pleased with the outcome of the Inconti Lase procedure. I feel great! This procedure is recommended for all women who have experienced even the slightest amount of urinary incontinence.

• I truly have a great, great delight and joy that Capital Riga Clinic has purchased the FOTONA laser to help the countless number of women, whose quality of life is diminished by the unpleasant urinary incontinence problem. Although each woman facing this problem thinks that she is one of the few dealing with urinary incontinence, in fact, it is not true. This unpleasant problem bothers a relatively large part of our society. Studies have shown that on average 12% of the population complains of urinary incontinence problem. Since this topic is still considered a taboo, experts believe that urinary incontinence affects even more people - around 20%, and this number is growing. Doctors think that this is because people tend to live longer, their lifestyle has altered, everyday stress has increased and other factors have changed during the years. Performing the laser manipulation only one time, women with mild and moderate degree of urinary incontinence have surprisingly good results and the reviews are fantastic.

• At the beginning I did not believe that such a simple treatment as Inconti Lase could be so effective in treating indications such as mild and moderate stress urinary incontinence. But when my first patient, whom I treated one year ago for moderate stress urinary incontinence, reported that she is dry from the day of the procedure, I began to change my mind. Today, after treating many patients, I can say that the results we have obtained with this new technology are exceeding my expectations. And after one year, my first patient is still dry and very happy with the change Inconti Lase brought to her life. Ivan Fistonic, MD, PhD Fistonic Gynecology Clinic Zagreb, Croatia
