Regardless of your age, my recommended technique for nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation is the FemiLift laser. We do one treatment each month in three consecutive months and we offer a touch-up on a yearly basis. I also make sure that I optimize my patients' hormones to help maintain the benefits of the treatment. After the FemiLift, my patients in their 60s and 70s feel like teenagers again.
In post-menopausal women, The FemiLift works even better because these are the women who suffer most from vaginal dryness, laxity, and vaginal wall thinness. The FemiLift works by inducing the formation of collagen and elastin as it improves and increases vaginal lubrication. However, women of all ages will see marked improvement in vaginal health, function, and sensation.
I address this question with my patients all of the time. The beauty of SculpSure technology is that it is highly effective regardless of the settings (1.1-1.4). Here is where perception of pain is deceptive of the efficacy of the treatment. Each of us is born with remarkably variable pain tolerances. Among my patients, 20% have little discomfort, 40% mild to moderate, and 40% require assistance with pain relief (typically Tylenol 1000 mg an hour prior to SculpSure, others, on rare occasion, require prescriptions for pain or anxiety). Despite a patient's individual pain tolerance, every one is eager to return for that next treatment and/or next area because they are overwhelmingly pleased with their results. As you choose a physician, it is so important that they educate and engage you in order to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible and have realistic expectations with amazing results.
