Genital Treatments with FemiLift

FemiLift is a CO2 laser treatment that is used to address various issues related to vaginal health, particularly those associated with aging and hormonal changes1. This non-invasive procedure has shown promise in addressing various issues related to vaginal health5. The CO2 laser stimulates the body’s natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production, which are essential proteins that enhance tissue firmness and elasticity5. It is important to note that most manufacturers, in accordance with FDA guidance, no longer make marketing claims for the treatment of vaginal atrophy with lasers6. There is also significant controversy surrounding vaginal laser therapy and the distinction between ablative and non-ablative lasers6.

Body Treatments with Cynosure® SmartSkin™

The Cynosure® SmartSkin™ laser is a non-invasive treatment that can be used to improve the appearance of the skin on the body1. It can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage.

Body Treatments with Madonna Lift of Eyebrows

The Madonna Lift of Eyebrows is a non-invasive laser treatment that can be used to lift and tighten the skin around the eyebrows1. This treatment can help to improve the appearance of sagging eyebrows and give the eyes a more youthful appearance.

Candidacy for Laser Treatments

Laser genital treatments can be particularly beneficial for women who are experiencing: 7

  • Vaginal dryness
  • Irritation, burning, or itchiness in the vaginal area
  • Vaginal thinning
  • Urinary incontinence caused by age or childbirth
  • Pain during sexual intercourse
  • Frequent or recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs)

What to Expect During a Laser Treatment

Laser treatments are typically performed in an office setting8. The procedure itself is usually quick, taking only a few minutes to complete9. Dr. Mayhew takes a personalized approach to treatment, tailoring laser treatments to individual patient needs2. Most laser treatments have minimal downtime, but this can vary depending on the specific treatment and individual8. Some patients may experience mild discomfort during the treatment, but this is typically well-tolerated10.

Benefits of Laser Genital Treatments

Laser genital treatments can offer a number of benefits, including:

  • Improved vaginal health: Laser treatments can help to improve vaginal dryness, laxity, and other symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM)11.
  • Enhanced sexual function: Laser treatments can help to improve sexual function by increasing vaginal lubrication and sensation12.
  • Reduced urinary incontinence: Laser treatments can help to reduce urinary incontinence by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles7.

It is important to note that most of the available studies on laser treatments for vaginal health are limited by their design, including small sample sizes, short-term follow-up, and industry sponsorship13.

Benefits of Laser Body Treatments

Laser body treatments can offer a number of benefits, including:

  • Improved skin appearance: Laser treatments can help to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage10.
  • Long-lasting results: Laser treatments can offer long-lasting results, especially with proper aftercare10.

Side Effects and Risks

Laser genital treatments are generally safe, but some patients may experience mild side effects such as increased vaginal fluid or mild irritation8. These side effects are typically temporary and resolve on their own.

Alternatives to Laser Treatments

In addition to laser treatments, there are other options for addressing vaginal health concerns, such as:

  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
  • Vaginal lubricants and moisturizers
  • Pelvic floor muscle exercises

Dr. Mayhew can discuss these alternatives with you and help you determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
