Does Femilift help with laxity of the labia majora?

Question

I have read mixed answers. Some say Femilift is great for outer vaginal areas, others say it only tightens inside the vagina. Can anyone clear this up?

Loose skin at the labia majora exists on a spectrum from mild to severe. FemiLift when used on the outer vaginal areas is brand name for fractional CO2 laser skin therapy. It will deliver a mild degree of skin tightening. If the skin needs more tightening, it will not deliver enough of response and other treatments should be considered.

Hello, Femilift is one of the most commonly used genital beautification and rejuvenation laser. It is most commonly used in labia majora rejuvenation. It has a different special head and plumping for the outer part. (not only inside)  It can also be combined with genital PRP. It provides long-term rejuvenation by triggering subcutaneous collagen synthesis.

dear concerned patient
thank you for your question.
Femilit uses Fractionated Co2 laser as a result it does not improve much of the laxity of Labia Majora, though it is very good for vaginal dryness and stress incontinence not much for vaginal tightening.

a better option is to use Microneedling with radiofrequency like Morpheous 8V which does help for improving the laxity of the Labia Majora and also does help with vaginal tightness while improving stress incontinence. Or using Morpheus 8-face probe

good luck and best of health.

Thanks for your great question.

Laser vaginal resurfacing with Femilift is great for vaginal looseness and dryness, as well as for stress incontinence and recurrent bladder infections. It does not, however, create skin tightening and thus not a good option for labia majora laxity.

A great Femilift applcation to the vulva, or outer vaginal areas, is Lichen Sclerosus, not laxity.

A better non surgical option for labia majora laxity is radiofrequency. If you have moderate or severe laxity then labia majora reduction may be recommended by your surgeon. You may also consider augmentation with a mixture of PRP and filler or autologius fat. Every patient is different and requires a customized approach to achieve a more youthful appearance.

FemiLift (fractional CO2 laser) is virtually the same as MonaLisa Touch. It resurfaces skin only, increasing elastin 7 collagen fibers. As such, it provides modest "spring-back" of the inner vaginal skin but sinse it treats the skin layer only and not the underlying fascial and muscular supports, it is a poor vaginal tightening modality for improving friction after childbirth(s). Surgery (Vaginal reconstruction; vaginoplasty) best for this. It is in my opinion a good "add-on" to vaginoplasty to help with modest urinary incontinence. While it can be used to "re-surface" the vulva, especially the labia majora, the results are uneven. Best for majora would be a labia majoraplasty (surgical) of the new "labia majora lift," (minimally invasive surgical procedure), developed by Michael Goodman MD and designed specifically to "lift up" sagging majora. RF (e.g. ThermiVa) is better than laser for correcting excess majora skin, but this requires 3 separate visits a month apart, costs ~ $3000, and lasts only 8-10 months. You have to do it "...forever..." and it ends up way pricy. In my opinion, better to find a skilled labia majora surgeon, pay ~ $5000-6000 out the door, and be done with it forever...
