Great outcome and terrific staff

After 2 kids and turning 40, I started noticing changes in my body and specifically that I was experience stress incontinence at a rate that seemed fairly significant for my age. After a lot of reading and research I decided to try the diVa treatment with Dr. Lee. who was recommended in my area.

I'm a fairly squeamish patient with a low pain tolerance and I was extremely nervous about being lasered in this most sensitive area but I had also recently gone through a divorce after 18 years of marriage and I was suffering from low self-esteem and the natural feelings that come after turning 40 and being single again. I felt that doing something for myself and taking care of an issue that had really been bothering me would help give me a boost.

From the moment I arrived at Dr. Lee's office, I knew I had made the right decision. Her office staff is both cheerful and calming, she's one of the most down-to-earth doctor's I've ever met, she never talks down to you and genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for you. I especially like the fact that you can tell she's an advocate for women's health, she cares about all aspects of her patients and she makes you feel completely at ease. The rest of the staff are a complete pleasure to deal with and make you feel very relaxed and cared for.

Truthfully the procedure itself ended up being a lot more painful than I had bargained for based on the other reviews I had read. Thankfully it's very quick and the painful portion comes at the very end and only lasts a couple of minutes but I was definitely clenching my teeth and had to stop a couple of times to rest before resuming. The nice part is that Dr. Lee and the staff will work with you on subsequent treatments to help you getting a better result with the numbing cream (hint....you need to lay down for the full hour and shift into a few different positions to ensure that the numbing cream hits all sides of the vagina). Every person is different, like I said I have a low tolerance for pain and it's only a couple of minutes and for me the pain stopped as soon as the laser was off so there wasn't any residual or throbbing pain afterward. I had a very slight amount of bleeding after the 2nd treatment but not enough to even wear a pad. Otherwise no side affects and no issues.

I did the full round of 3 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart and have seen great results. I've seen a huge improvement in the stress incontinence and have definitely noticed a big difference in lubrication and sensation during sex. Working with Dr. Lee, I've decided to also continue with a refresher treatment to continue to improve upon the results further. She has recommended ways to feel more comfortable for subsequent procedures (ibuprofen ahead of time, different methods with numbing cream positions etc.) and I love that she can take very honest feedback and work with you to find the best solution.
