Vaginal Atrophy
Understanding Vaginal Changes Over Time
Normally, the vaginal walls are thick, elastic, and rich in glycogen—a natural sugar that helps maintain healthy lubrication. This elasticity and lubrication make the vagina flexible and comfortable during intercourse.
Over time, hormonal changes can lead to a thinner, drier, and less elastic vaginal environment, impacting comfort, health, and overall quality of life.
Vaginal Atrophy Pathophysiology:
Celluar Changes
With the normal hormonal changes, the collagen in the tissue becomes thinner and looser and new collagen is not being produced at the same rate as when you are younger. This leads to a net loss in the collagen leading to decrease support and thickness of the vaginal and surrounding tissues. In addition, decrease in hormones with menopause causes more dryness in the tissue creating pain and/or discomfort with intercourse.
Vaginal Rejuvenation
What is FemiLift?
A non-surgical, painless 15-minute office procedure utilizing reliable third-generation CO2 fractional Laser Pixel technology delivered into the vagina via a vaginal-shaped probe.
The procedure consists of 3 treatments over 12 weeks.
What is the science behind this procedure?
FemiLift works via pulses of laser energy into the collagen layer of the vaginal mucosa, where concentrated thermal heating leads to collagen and elastin “shrinkage” and secondary regeneration, producing an increased resiliency of vaginal skin for about 12-18 months.
A laser generator produces safe pulses of patterned pixel-screen laser energy delivered via a tube-shaped intra-vaginal device.
The term fractional means that the laser creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries within the target tissue, leaving surrounding areas unaffected.
These pulses generate laser beams in a grid less than ½ mm apart and 0.6 mm deep via a microscopic laser-produced opening at intervals of several millimeters into the collagen under the dermis (the layer just underneath the vaginal skin).
Non-ablative laser waves exiting the tube 360° at closely spaced intervals “drill” microscopic, closely spaced micro-punctures 0.6 mm (600 microns) into the dermis, producing a mini-defect in the collagen that contracts, producing shrinkage (in proper power settings) and stimulating the collagen and elastin to grow, thus bulking and “rejuvenating” this layer.
By restoring proper trophic balance to these tissues, the treatment directly helps restore normal vaginal functional and pain-free sexual intimacy
FemiLift is also quite effective in reversing the atrophic effects of aging in the vagina.
