Yes, this is all about vaginas. As a doctor and a mom of 3, I’m so over any shyness about the topic. If you’re not in the mood to hear about it, maybe skip this one. If you are like me, this is a topic near and dear to your heart. We have always called our program “Vaginal Rejuvenation.” I was recently told the preferred term is “Women’s Intimate Wellness.” However you package it, an overwhelming number of women suffer from these symptoms eventually, and we no longer have to just put up with it.

At Glow we now have over 2 years of experience with vaginal rejuvenation procedures using the Exilis Ultra Femme 360, and the verdict is that it works and results are surprisingly long-lasting. This helps with changes related to both childbirth and menopause. Vaginal rejuvenation can specifically address:

  • Dribbling
  • Stretched-out tissues
  • Dryness
  • Pain during sex

The biggest reason women are having the procedure has been for dribbling post-childbirth, but a close second and third are for tightening and dryness. The Ultra Femme uses a 360 degree wand and radiofrequency technology to heat the vaginal wall and labia. This induces collagen formation, thickening of the vaginal wall, increased lubrication and tightening of the tissues both inside and out. Treatment consists of a series of 3 painless sessions, and we have found that results happen within 1-2 months have lasted for up to 18 months, but most women have needed some maintenance within 1 year of first treatment. In 2 years we have treated over 50 women, and 98% report either improvement or complete resolution of their symptoms and we have had zero complications.

The main benefits of treatment with the Exilis Ultra Femme 360:

  • Very high success rate in treating urinary symptoms, dryness, stretched tissues and painful intercourse
  • Requires only 3 sessions
  • Non-invasive
  • Painless
  • No Downtime

What is vFit+?

vFit+ is a brand-new device for at-home use that can be used alone or for maintenance after vaginal rejuvenation with the Ultra Femme. It uses red light LED, heat and vibration to stimulate the tissues to increase blood flow. Studies have found a 95% improvement in intimate wellness, 89% increased confidence with intercourse and an 89% increase in sensation. Our own informal investigation has found that vFit+ is a good option for maintaining results from the Ultra Femme and there are anecdotal reports that is can be used as a stand-alone at-home treatment for some of the same symptoms.

vFit+ is recommended to be used for 10 minutes every other day. Results are reported to be within 1-3 months. Do you match any of these patient profiles?

  1. Young Adult: exercise and activities and intimate wellness are important to you. Whether you might have a child in the future or not, maintaining sexual health and intimacy are a top priority.
  2. Mom: very little time to yourself, starting to address changes in appearance and health. Connecting with your partner is important to you and things have changed since giving birth; Kegels have not worked. Looking for something easy and convenient to help.
  3. Perimenopausal: have a little more time to invest in yourself and fighting aging, a strong emotional connection to your partner is more important than ever. Looking to get back the youthful feeling inside and out.
  4. Postmenopausal: your mental and physical state don’t quite match and you’d like to restore the intimacy and confidence you used to have.

The main benefits of vFit+

  • Improved confidence with sexual function
  • Increased blood flow
  • Privacy: at-home treatment in the privacy of your own home
  • Affordable
  • Non-invasive
  • No downtime

We think that both the Ultra Femme and the vFit+ are fantastic tools for, OK I’ll say it– Women’s Intimate Wellness. If you have any questions about these treatments or whether you might be a good candidate, we are here to help! Please contact us if you’d like to find out more.

Vaginal Rejuvenation: Is It Right For Me? https://glowspaseattle.com/2018/08/06/vaginal-rejuvenation-is-it-right-for-me/ Mon, 06 Aug 2018 09:00:23 +0000 https://glowspaseattle.preview.crystalcleardm.com/?p=2336 It’s hard to talk about problems with the most intimate part of your body. As a woman, you have become accustomed to the changes that have happened over the years. You may have experienced times in your life when you felt like your body wasn’t your own because your hormones were out of control. You took it in stride and found ways to cope. This time around, you are dealing with something that you can’t fix. It’s vaginal discomfort. You’ve tried everything and it won’t go away. You could be a great candidate for vaginal rejuvenation.

Why Consider Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Your vaginal tissues are delicate. They can become damaged after childbirth. Delivering a baby can put such a strain on your vaginal tissues that they have minor tears or they never seem to tighten up again. These issues may be more pronounced if you have had more than one child. As you approach the menopause phase in your life, your estrogen levels are going to drop. This can cause the tissues in your vagina to become thinner. As a result, tears are more common. Lubrication decreases. The end result is irritation that can be quite painful. You may even have the same symptoms that you would experience with a urinary infection. Vaginal rejuvenation can help you to feel better.

What is Vaginal Rejuvenation All About?

Vaginal rejuvenation is a non-invasive treatment in which a special device is used to treat your sensitive tissues in your vagina. Heat is applied to the tissues by using radiofrequency energy. It’s a simple technique that will stimulate the production of collagen, healthy circulation, and new cells in your vagina. Give it time and you will feel relief. Your tissues will tighten up. Lubrication will improve. You may notice an improved experience during intercourse as well.

Exilis Ultra Femme 360 for Vaginal Rejuvenation https://glowspaseattle.com/2017/06/02/exilis-ultra-femme-360-vaginal-rejuvenation/ Fri, 02 Jun 2017 09:00:05 +0000 https://glowspaseattle.preview.crystalcleardm.com/?p=1349 by Kate Dee, MD

Vaginal Rejuvenation is the latest thing in the aesthetic world. As I am with everything else, I have to know everything about a new procedure: Does it really work? Is it worth it? Is it safe? After a lot of research I found that not only does it work, but it is dramatically improving the lives of so many women that we had to be a part of it at Glow.

Do you have any of these symptoms?

Vaginal Rejuvenation treatments thicken and tighten both inside and out. It is a fantastic treatment for women post childbirth and for women after menopause.

  • Loose, stretched out tissue– inside or out
  • Urinary dribbling (incontinence)
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Pain with intercourse
  • Loss of sexual pleasure and function

The testimonials from women who have had this treatment are inspiring and compelling. These women enjoy sex more and so do their partners. No more problems with dryness, dribbling or pain. Even the partners can tell the difference even when they have no idea anything has been done.

How does it work?

At Glow Medispa we offer the Exilis Ultra Femme 360 for Vaginal Rejuvenation. This device uses circumferential heating of the tissue with radiofrequency (RF) to cause increased blood flow and collagen stimulation– leading to thickening and tightening. This technology is similar to Thermi-Va– but offers a 360 degree treatment which makes it much faster (total treatment time is under 20 min –8 minutes inside/8 outside) compared to 40 minutes for Thermi. It is a safe and comfortable procedure with no pain or downtime. Most women need a series of 3 treatments and a “touch up” every 6-8 months.

At Glow, we offer these services in a comfortable private setting. Interested in a consultation? Call us at 206-800-7379 or schedule online here.
