Femilift: Improvement of Sexual Comfort

Why does no one talk about the fact that...

• 33% of women experience bladder leakage when they laugh, sneeze, or workout.
• 40% of women experience vaginal looseness after childbirth that causes loss of sexual sensation.
• 50% of women suffer from vaginal dryness and irritation after menopause.

FemiLift is a versatile solution designed to address various issues experienced by women of all ages.

Introduction to Women’s Health

Women’s health encompasses a wide range of topics, from reproductive health and menstrual cycles to menopause symptoms and beyond. One growing area of interest is vaginal rejuvenation, which many women are exploring to improve vaginal tone, reduce vaginal dryness, and enhance sexual satisfaction. Issues like urinary incontinence, stress urinary incontinence, and painful intercourse are common and can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life and self-confidence. Fortunately, vaginal rejuvenation procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, offer effective solutions to these problems. It’s crucial for women to prioritize their health and seek medical attention if they experience any symptoms or concerns related to their vaginal area, such as vaginal laxity, vaginal dryness, or painful sex. By addressing these issues, women can improve their overall well-being and enjoy a better quality of life.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Options

Vaginal rejuvenation options include a variety of treatments, ranging from non-invasive laser treatments like DUO and non RF treatments like Femilift, to surgical procedures like labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction. Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments, such as Femilift, utilize laser or radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten vaginal tissues. These treatments can effectively improve vaginal tone and reduce symptoms like vaginal dryness. On the other hand, surgical procedures like vaginoplasty can repair damaged tissues and enhance the appearance of the vaginal area. Women have the flexibility to choose from various vaginal rejuvenation options based on their individual needs and goals, whether it’s improving vaginal tone, reducing dryness, or enhancing sexual function. Consulting with a qualified healthcare professional is essential to determine the best course of treatment and to discuss the potential risks and benefits of each option.

What is FemiLift?

FemiLift is an FDA-approved CO2 laser that rejuvenates the vagina. The natural aging process affects vaginal tissues by causing collagen fibers to lose their elasticity, leading to changes that can impact aesthetics and functionality; FemiLift can counteract these age-related changes. It improves sexual comfort by treating vaginal dryness and stops the painful tearing sensation that occurs due to the thinning of the vaginal tissue after menopause. Aging leads to a loss of vitality and elasticity in vaginal tissue, making treatments like FemiLift important for maintaining women's health and quality of life. It also strengthens the urethra to reduce urinary leakage and rebalances the vaginal pH to prevent recurring infections. Women who constantly have the feeling of having an infection will also see an improvement as this irritation is really due to chronic vaginal dryness. The treatment effectiveness of FemiLift is notable, with outcomes lasting for 24 months or more and a significant percentage of patients experiencing a good response after 2-3 sessions.

How Does FemiLift Work?

The FemiLift utilizes specialized lasers through a thin vaginal probe that is inserted into the vagina and is gently rotated in a 360-degree fashion. It delivers pulsed CO2 light waves to the vaginal tissue, which creates microtears deep into the vaginal mucosa. As these wounds heal, the body stimulates collagen and elastin production and improves blood flow to the vagina. This creates stronger and healthier vaginal tissue and restores the vaginal lubrication lost after menopause.

How is the FemiLift Different?

Most “vaginal rejuvenation” devices use radiofrequency. These devices work by heating the vaginal probe to a high temperature while pulling and pushing the probe in and out of the vagina. The treatment method used by FemiLift, however, employs a CO2 laser, which allows for more precise control and deeper penetration into the vaginal tissues compared to radiofrequency devices. Radiofrequency devices are imprecise and the heat from the probe is often not distributed evenly, which can be painful and even lead to vaginal burns. Additionally, radiofrequency devices only treat the superficial vaginal mucosa, which causes vaginal tightening and treats urinary incontinence, but does not improve overall vaginal health the way the Femilift does.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Your provider will perform a pelvic exam to determine the number of sessions you need. It is typically recommended you complete 3-5 sessions spaced one month apart in order to achieve optimal results. We also recommend a maintenance treatment every year. With proper maintenance, you should continue to see results for years to come. Patients report significant benefits after undergoing FemiLift treatments, including an almost immediate return to daily activities and improved quality of life.

Is FemiLift Proven to Work?

Yes – FemiLift is FDA-approved with clinical studies showing 90% of women have a significant improvement in their vaginal symptoms after finishing a series of treatments. FemiLift addresses structural changes in vaginal tissue due to aging and childbirth, improving elasticity and firmness by stimulating collagen production.

Who Will Benefit From This Treatment? We recommend FemiLift for any woman suffering from painful sex due to vaginal dryness, recurrent urinary or vaginal infections, and/or urinary leakage. It also helps women heal after a hysterectomy or recent childbirth and it can be used by any woman who wants to keep her vagina young and healthy.

Does the FemiLift Hurt?

No. You might feel some pressure as the probe is being inserted and rotated in the vagina, but it is essentially painless and feels like a vaginal exam. No anesthesia is required.

What is the Downtime?

Minimal. You will want to avoid inserting anything into the vagina (douche, tampons, sex, etc.) or soaking in water for the first 48 hours after each treatment. Otherwise, you can immediately return to your normal activities, including sexual intercourse.

What are the Side Effects?

Most women have no side effects, but you may notice an increase in vaginal discharge or burning when you pass urine for the week after the procedure. This technology has been used successfully for years in other countries. There have been more than 30 different clinical studies conducted with more than 30,000 patients across the U.S. and there has never been a serious complication reported to the FDA.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Results typically last 1-2 years. We recommend twice-weekly vaginal estrogen (if you qualify) and a “touch-up” treatment every year to help you maintain your results. The treatment effectiveness of FemiLift is notable, with outcomes lasting for 24 months or more and a significant percentage of patients experiencing a good response after 2-3 sessions.

Can Anyone Undergo This Treatment?

No. Certain medical conditions prevent you from being a candidate for FemiLift so we require that you undergo a pelvic exam with one of our providers before purchasing a treatment package. It is also crucial to choose a provider with special training in feminine rejuvenation procedures to ensure safety and successful outcomes.

Is the Treatment Covered by My Insurance?

No. You will have to pay out-of-pocket for these treatments, but, if you are suffering from vaginal dryness, recurring infections, or painful sex, this treatment can help restore your quality of life. Additionally, patients choose FemiLift for both health-related issues and cosmetic reasons.

Managing Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence, including stress urinary incontinence, can be effectively managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, physical therapy, and medical treatments. The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in maintaining bladder control, and exercises like Kegels can help strengthen these muscles. For more severe cases, surgical treatment options, such as sling procedures, can provide significant relief. Those experiencing urinary incontinence should consult with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include vaginal rejuvenation procedures or other interventions. By addressing these concerns, women can regain control over their bladder and significantly improve their overall quality of life.

Addressing Painful Intercourse

Painful intercourse, also known as dyspareunia, can result from various factors, including vaginal dryness, vaginal laxity, and hormonal changes. Vaginal rejuvenation treatments, such as laser therapy, can help improve vaginal tone and reduce discomfort during sex. Additionally, topical creams and lubricants can alleviate dryness and enhance comfort. In some cases, surgical procedures like labiaplasty or vaginoplasty may be necessary to address underlying structural issues contributing to painful during intercourse. Women experiencing painful intercourse should consult with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan to improve their sexual function and overall well-being.
