Changes to the vagina and vulva are things you don’t hear much about in discussions about aging and menopause. It may be an uncomfortable subject, but vaginal health plays a significant role in a woman’s confidence. It’s hard to feel sexy when you know having intercourse can cause you pain, and trying to avoid it may lead to stress which, in turn, exasperates the symptoms.
Women all over the world are undergoing surgical procedures to get that sexy back but what if there was another way, one that didn’t require surgery?
MediSpa takes vaginal rejuvenation to the next level with the FemTouch by Lumenis® treatment. How can FemTouch boost your confidence in the bedroom?
What are some common vaginal problems women experience?
Learning a little about the anatomy of the vagina can help you understand the changes that occur over time. The vagina is a muscular canal that goes from the vulva to the cervix. It’s just one part of female genitalia. Other areas include the:
-
Mons pubis
-
Clitorial hood
-
Clitoris
-
Labia majora
-
Labia minora
They all experience changes throughout a woman’s life. Many factors can affect this system including:
-
Pregnancy
-
Childbirth
-
Sexually transmitted diseases
-
Medical conditions like endometriosis or PID
-
Birth control
-
Feminine hygiene products
The one thing that most women notice is the hormone changes that come with aging. As one gets older, the walls of the vagina become thinner and less elastic. They can get dry and sometimes irritated.
The area outside the vagina changes, too. It can thin out and frequently get irritated. Some common complaints we get at MediSpa are:
-
Vaginal dryness
-
Laxity
-
Painful sex
-
Urinary incontinence
Vaginal rejuvenation is one way women can get back some of what they lose over time.
What is vaginal rejuvenation?
Vaginal rejuvenation means a couple of different things. It can refer to a series of plastic surgeries on the genitalia such as:
-
Labiaplasty
-
Clitoral hood reduction
-
Labia majoraplasty
-
Monsplasty
-
Vaginoplasty
Each one of these involves a surgical procedure to change how a specific part of the female genitalia looks and feels. For example, labiaplasty surgically reduces the labia minora to help prevent pain during sex and while doing everyday things.
All of these procedures have one critical thing in common; they require surgery. With any operation comes the risk of infection, bleeding, and other complications.
What is FemTouch?
FemTouch is a form of nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation that our Dr. Morris offers here at MediSpa. It uses laser technology to stimulate the body’s ability to fix problems without reconstruction.
With FemTouch, Dr. Morris uses a special laser to trigger the growth of new, healthy cells in the vagina. It’s an improvement that can lead to better vaginal elasticity and eliminate the dryness that can make sex painful.
FemTouch can help with:
-
Vaginal itching and burning caused by dryness
-
Painful sex
-
Minor bladder leakage
-
Vaginal laxity
Ultimately, FemTouch is about giving women back their confidence in the bedroom. This nonsurgical approach may help increase pleasure and stimulate sexual desire.
