Laser Frenulum Release of the Penis
A short penile frenulum can cause pain, restrict foreskin movement and affect quality of sexual life. The CO2 laser allows precise, outpatient cutting of the frenulum. Every patient is assessed individually during a urological consultation.
The procedure requires a urological consultation — the doctor assesses the indications, explains the procedure and confirms eligibility for laser treatment.

What is laser frenulum cutting?
Laser frenulum cutting (laser frenuloplasty) is a procedure within aesthetic urology in which a CO2 laser is used to cut or lengthen the shortened band connecting the glans to the foreskin. The laser works precisely — point by point — limiting its effect on surrounding tissue.
The procedure is outpatient. The patient goes home the same day. The course of the procedure and recovery is discussed individually by the doctor during a urological consultation.
Important: eligibility for the procedure is determined solely during a urological consultation. The doctor assesses the degree of frenulum shortening, rules out other causes of the symptoms and discusses possible treatment methods. Laser cutting is one of the available options — the choice of method is made by the doctor and patient together.
Who is laser frenulum cutting for?
A urological consultation regarding frenulum cutting may be appropriate for men who:
- experience pain or discomfort related to frenulum tension,
- have difficulty retracting the foreskin over the glans,
- experience difficulties in their sexual life resulting from this condition,
- wish to improve comfort of hygiene and daily activities.
The final decision on eligibility for the procedure is made by the doctor based on examination and medical history.
What are the contraindications to laser frenulum cutting?
The procedure may not be appropriate in cases of:
- active infection in the treatment area,
- severe blood clotting disorders,
- advanced cancer.
The list of contraindications is discussed individually during the urological consultation — the doctor assesses the patient's health status and advises on any limitations.
What does recovery look like?
Healing varies from person to person. After the procedure, temporary redness or swelling may occur and gradually subside. The doctor provides aftercare instructions individually — these usually include:
- avoiding intense physical exertion for several days,
- abstaining from sexual activity for the period indicated by the doctor (usually about a week),
- applying the recommended local care,
- contacting the clinic if concerning symptoms appear.
The pace of return to daily activities depends on the individual healing process.
Why the CO2 laser — what distinguishes this method?
The CO2 laser acts point by point — cutting the frenulum precisely while limiting its effect on surrounding tissue.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis — the patient goes home the same day.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia — the patient remains conscious, with attention to comfort throughout the procedure.
Every patient is assessed individually — the doctor evaluates the indications and discusses realistic expectations.

Frequently asked questions
What is the penile frenulum and when is cutting it indicated?
The penile frenulum is a band of tissue connecting the glans to the foreskin. When it is too short, it can cause pain during intercourse, make retracting the glans difficult, or lead to micro-tears. Indications for cutting are assessed by the urologist during consultation.
Does the procedure hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. During it, the patient may feel mild discomfort or warmth. Afterwards, temporary burning or swelling at the site is possible; these gradually subside.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure is relatively short and performed on an outpatient basis. Its duration depends on the extent of treatment and is discussed by the doctor during consultation. The patient goes home the same day.
Which urologist performs this procedure?
The procedures are performed by the clinic's urologists: Jakub Kłącz, Jakub Krukowski, Jakub Gondek and Artur Abazzov. Availability for all specialists is shown in the clinic calendar → If you have no preference, our reception will help you choose a doctor and an appointment time.
When can I return to sexual activity after the procedure?
The abstinence period is individual and determined by the doctor — usually around one week. Resuming activity before the recommended time may prolong healing and increase the risk of complications.
Is laser frenulum cutting permanent?
The procedure is permanent in nature — once properly healed, the frenulum is longer and more elastic. The outcome depends on the individual healing process, which the doctor discusses with the patient before the procedure.
