What Is Femtouch Vaginal Rejuvenation?
As of today, the FemTouch vaginal rejuvenation treatment has been used successfully for over two decades with gynecologists to support minimally invasive care for female vaginal and urinary needs, especially those experiencing post-natal and post-menopausal symptoms.
What Can Femtouch Vaginal Rejuvenation Help With?
Typically, women start noticing symptoms related to their vaginal health due to aging, going through menopause as well as post childbirth. These changes can really affect the lifestyle we are so accustomed to.
Femtouch can help with:
- Vaginal atrophy
- Vaginal dryness
- Discomfort during sex
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Vaginal laxity
- Vaginal laxity after childbirth
- Sexual function
When Will I See Results Following A Femtouch Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment?
In clinical trials, women reported feeling improvement after 1-2 treatment sessions. Typically, 2-4 treatments are needed to see optimal results and achieve the desired outcome on the vaginal layer.
What Can I Expect Following A Femtouch Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment?
Immediately after treatment you may feel a very mild heat sensation. One of our technicians can provide a hydrating gel. This sensation should not last longer than a few hours.
How Does Femtouch Vaginal Rejuvenation Work?
FemTouch uses a fractional CO2 laser along the vaginal wall, resulting in regeneration of the tissue. This promotes the remodeling of the vaginal mucosal layer.
Do I Need A Pap Smear To Have A Femtouch Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment?
Before the treatment can be performed, we will need a copy of your most recent PAP smear report within the last 2 years. Also, a quick physical pre-exam will be provided by Dr. Walden or our Nurse Practitioner, Leah. This pre-exam should assess your vaginal health to ensure you are a good candidate for the treatment.
What Is A Femtouch Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment Like?
During the procedure, one of our highly trained all-female staff will move the sterilized applicator along the vaginal wall in an outward motion, applying the laser in a 360 degree pattern covering the entire area. The procedure should take a few minutes. You may experience a minor heat sensation during the treatment, but it is very gentle and you should not feel uncomfortable.
