Does Femilift help with laxity of the labia majora?

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.

Best of luck,

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...
