Medical Insight: Non-Surgical SUI Treatment

Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment UK Non-Surgical Options

Quick Answer: SUI causes leakage during physical activity. UK options include pelvic floor training (NICE first-line), bladder training, and for selected cases, non-surgical interventions like vaginal laser (Nu-V) or radiofrequency (RF).

If you leak urine when you cough, laugh, sneeze, or run—please know this: it’s common, it’s real, and you don’t have to “just live with it.”

What? Medical Classification

What is Urinary Incontinence?

Incontinence isn’t one single condition—it is a symptom pattern. The International Continence Society categorises leakage based on triggers. Understanding your specific type is the first step toward effective treatment.

Stress Incontinence (SUI)

Most Common

Leakage occurs during physical exertion when bladder pressure exceeds urethral closure pressure.

  • Coughing / Sneezing
  • Laughing
  • Running / Lifting

Urge Incontinence

Overactive Bladder

Leakage associated with a sudden, compelling desire to pass urine that is difficult to defer.

  • Sudden urgency
  • Frequent urination
  • Waking at night (Nocturia)

Mixed Incontinence

Combination

A combination of both symptoms. You may experience leakage when coughing (Stress) AND sudden urges (Urge).

*Treatment often focuses on the most dominant symptom first.

Why Bladder Leakage Happens

Bladder control relies on a complex system of pelvic floor support, tissue quality, muscle coordination, and pressure management. Changes in any part of this system can lead to leakage.

Pregnancy & Childbirth Menopause Changes High-Impact Exercise Tissue Weakness

Medical Note: Classifications based on International Continence Society standards. Diagnosis requires clinical assessment.

Who? Ideal Candidates

Is This Treatment Right For You?

Our treatments are designed for women seeking effective, non-hormonal solutions. Whether due to life stages, medical history, or personal preference, we provide care that respects your body's natural balance.

Menopause & Perimenopause

As estrogen levels drop, vaginal walls can become thin and dry (GSM). We help restore natural elasticity and moisture lost during this transition.

Cancer Survivors

For women who cannot use hormone-based creams due to breast or pelvic cancer history. We provide safe, 100% hormone-free regenerative treatments.

Post-Partum Mothers

Hormonal changes after childbirth or breastfeeding can lead to painful dryness. Our non-invasive options offer a fast path back to comfort.

Medication Users

Oral contraceptives or antidepressants can cause localised dryness. We provide targeted hydration that works independently of your medication.

Lichen Sclerosus (LS)

For thinning and scarring associated with LS, our bio-regenerative treatments focus on reducing inflammation and repairing the skin.

Non-Hormonal Alternatives

Whether due to preference or HRT side effects, we offer medical solutions relying on the body’s own healing mechanics rather than synthetic hormones.

Regenerative Medical Technology

100% Hormone-Free Restoration

From cancer survivors to nursing mothers, we support women who need safe, non-hormonal care. Our bio-regenerative treatments work with your body's own biology to restore elasticity and comfort without systemic side effects.

Why? The Clinical Advantage

Modern Medicine.
Zero Surgery.

Traditional options for incontinence often involve daily medication or invasive mesh surgery. We bridge the gap with advanced regenerative technology that is safe, effective, and fits into your lunch break.

How the Technology Works
Our devices deliver controlled thermal energy (Laser or RF) to the sub-mucosal layers of the vaginal wall. This stimulates a "healing response," triggering your body to produce new collagen and elastin fibres. This naturally tightens the tissue and reinforces the support structures under the bladder.
Comparison vs. Surgery
Surgical mesh procedures typically require 6 weeks of recovery, general anaesthetic, and carry risks of erosion or pain. Our non-surgical approach requires no anaesthetic, involves no cutting, and allows you to resume normal activities (including exercise) immediately after the appointment.

Safety First

FDA-Cleared Technologies

Non-Surgical & Painless

No incisions, no mesh, and no general anaesthetic. Treatments are performed comfortably in-clinic, avoiding the risks associated with surgical intervention.

Zero Downtime

Walk in, walk out. You can return to work, exercise, and your normal daily routine immediately after your appointment.

Treats the Root Cause

We don't just manage leaks with pads. We stimulate new collagen and elastin production to physically strengthen the pelvic floor support structures.

20-30 Minute Sessions

Fast, efficient appointments designed for busy lives. A typical course consists of 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Evidence-Based Results

Studies show significant improvement in Stress Urinary Incontinence symptoms after a course of non-surgical laser or RF therapy, with high patient satisfaction rates and sustained results.

Safety & Eligibility

Medical Suitability

Your safety is our priority. While our treatments are minimally invasive, certain medical conditions may require us to delay or decline treatment.

Absolute Contraindications

Treatment cannot be performed if any of the following apply:

  • Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: We recommend waiting until 6 months post-partum.
  • Active Infection: Including pelvic inflammatory disease, active herpes, or yeast infections.
  • Malignancy: Any active gynecological cancers or undiagnosed lesions.
  • Clotting Disorders: Or patients currently on high-dose anticoagulant therapy.

Discuss With Our Team

Further assessment is required for the following conditions:

Recent Surgery Any pelvic or vaginal surgery within the last 3-6 months.
Autoimmune Conditions like Lichen Sclerosus may require specific protocols.
Fillers/Implants Previous mesh or permanent fillers in the treatment area.
Heavy Smokers Smoking can significantly impact the regenerative healing process.

Confidential Medical Review

If you are unsure about your suitability, our medical team can conduct a private assessment to review your history. Most conditions do not rule out treatment but may change the choice of technology used.

Common Questions

Treatment FAQs

Everything you need to know about the procedure and recovery.

Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a deep warmth or a slight prickling feeling, but it is not typically painful. For injectable treatments like the O-Shot, we apply a high-strength topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
How long is the downtime?
There is virtually no downtime. You can return to work and light daily activities immediately. We generally recommend avoiding sexual intercourse, hot tubs, or heavy gym sessions for 3 to 5 days depending on the specific treatment modality used.
How many sessions will I need?
While many patients notice an improvement after a single session, a course of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is the clinical standard for achieving optimal and long-lasting results for stress incontinence and tissue rejuvenation.
When will I see results?
The regeneration process is gradual. Initial improvements in lubrication and sensitivity may appear within 2 weeks, while the full "tightening" and incontinence-control effects typically peak around 3 months after your final session as new collagen and tissue develop.
