Women’s intimate health can be affected by symptoms such as urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, vulvovaginal irritation or discomfort during and after sexual activity. These conditions can occur at different stages of life and affect physical wellbeing, self-confidence, intimate relationships and quality of life.
We offer focal shockwave treatments using DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP Ultra technology, a non-surgical option designed to improve your condition from the very first session.
Each treatment is prescribed following a personalised medical assessment, taking into account each patient’s symptoms, anatomy, medical history and needs. The treatment is planned on the basis of the patient’s anatomy and health condition, regardless of their gender identity.

DUOLITH® SD1 T-TOP Ultra
Swiss Precision in Urological Medicine
Developed by STORZ MEDICAL, the DUOLITH® system is the gold standard in non-invasive regenerative treatments. Its focal technology concentrates acoustic energy directly on the vascular or cellular source of the problem, preventing superficial dispersion.
RADIAL SHOCK WAVES
Surface dispersion
energy
T-TOP ULTRA FOCAL SHOCK WAVES
Precise targeting at the tissue depth
Maximum Focal Accuracy
It targets the energy directly at the blood vessels or deep fibrous plaques, whilst protecting the surrounding healthy tissue.
Cell Regeneration
It naturally stimulates angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and reduces inflammation in the nerve endings.
Outpatient Efficiency
Quick 20–30-minute sessions at the clinic. No surgery, no anaesthesia and no disruption to your sex life or work.
Treatment
How is focal shockwave therapy carried out?
The treatment is carried out in the clinic. During the session, the specialist applies focal shock waves to the areas indicated, based on the patient’s diagnosis and symptoms.
The procedure is usually well tolerated and does not require anaesthesia in most cases. The number of sessions and their frequency are determined on an individual basis following a medical assessment.
Before starting treatment, the case is assessed, the symptoms are reviewed and it is determined whether DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP Ultra is a suitable option. In some cases, this treatment may be combined with other medical, gynaecological, hormonal or pelvic floor rehabilitation measures to optimise the management of the problem.
Indications
When might focal shockwave therapy be considered?
Treatment with focal shockwave therapy may be considered for patients with intimate, urinary or vulvovaginal symptoms that affect their comfort, sexual function or quality of life.
Conditions that can be assessed during a consultation include:
• urinary incontinence
• vaginal dryness
• vaginal atrophy
• vaginitis or persistent vulvovaginal discomfort, always after ruling out active infection or other specific causes
• discomfort during or after sexual activity
• vulvovaginal irritation or tenderness
•intimate symptoms associated with hormonal changes or the menopause
Whether treatment is indicated always depends on an individual medical assessment. Not all cases are suitable for treatment, particularly where symptoms may be related to infections, active inflammation or other causes that require a specific approach.
Urinary incontinence
Strengthening the urethral support
How does DUOLITH work?
Urinary leakage (whether stress-related or due to urgency) is usually caused by weakness in the connective and muscle tissue that supports the urethra. Focal shockwave technology penetrates to the exact depth of the pelvic floor to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
The result: The strength and elasticity of the pelvic floor are restored non-invasively, helping you to regain control and confidence in your daily life from the very first sessions.
Vaginal dryness and vaginal atrophy
Natural regeneration and lubrication
How does DUOLITH work?
A lack of oestrogen (due to the menopause, postpartum or medical treatments) reduces blood flow to the vagina, causing the tissue to become thin, stiff and dry. The DUOLITH system stimulates angiogenesis, that is, the formation of microvessels in the vaginal walls.
The result: As circulation is restored, the skin automatically regains its thickness, elasticity and natural moisture. Say goodbye to that tight, stinging sensation and persistent irritation – without the need for hormones.
Discomfort during or after sexual activity
Flexibility and pain relief
How does DUOLITH work?
Pain or discomfort during and after sexual activity is usually caused by a lack of elasticity in the vaginal canal or by hypersensitivity of the nerve endings in the area (caused by micro-tears or chronic inflammation). Focal shock waves reduce inflammation in the deep tissues and relax the affected nerve fibres.
The result: By relaxing the vaginal walls and soothing areas that are overly sensitive to pain, the treatment restores intimate comfort, allowing you to enjoy a fulfilling sex life without fear of subsequent discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are focal shock waves?
Focal shock waves are high-precision acoustic waves that are applied to specific areas of tissue. In men’s intimate health, they can be used in medical protocols to treat certain urological or sexual problems.
For which symptoms might DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP Ultra be indicated?
It may be considered in selected cases of urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, discomfort during or after sexual activity, intimate pain or changes in the quality of the vulvovaginal tissue.
Can it help with urinary incontinence?
In some cases, it may be considered as part of a personalised treatment plan. Whether it is recommended depends on the type of incontinence, the cause of the urine leakage and the clinical assessment.
Is it effective for vaginal dryness or vaginal atrophy?
It may be considered when dryness or atrophy is associated with discomfort, irritation, tissue fragility or intimate pain. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to investigate the cause of the symptoms.
Is the treatment effective for any type of vaginitis?
No. Vaginitis can have various causes, including infections or active inflammation. That is why it is essential to obtain a medical diagnosis before prescribing any treatment.
Can it help with discomfort during sexual intercourse?
In certain cases, it can form part of a personalised approach to improving intimate comfort and reducing discomfort associated with sexual activity. Whether it is recommended always depends on the cause of the pain or discomfort.
Is the treatment painful?
It is generally a well-tolerated procedure. Sensitivity may vary depending on the area being treated, the severity of the symptoms and the individual characteristics of each patient.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions depends on the symptoms, the diagnosis and the individual’s response. The treatment plan is determined following the initial assessment.
Do I need to rest after the treatment?
In most cases, the patient can resume their normal activities on the same day.
Is it an operation?
No. Focal shockwave therapy is a non-surgical procedure that involves no incisions and does not require a hospital stay.
