Comfort, Confidence, and Pelvic Wellness
Thoughtful options for dryness, laxity, and mild urinary symptoms—tailored to your goals and biology.
Menopause, childbirth, and time can change vaginal comfort and function. You might notice dryness, burning, pain with intimacy, mild leakage with coughing or exercise, or a sense of laxity. We address these concerns with a comprehensive plan that can include energy-based therapies (laser or radiofrequency), pelvic floor support, moisturizers, and when appropriate, hormone therapy.
Fast Facts
Common concerns include dryness, pain with intercourse, mild stress incontinence, and laxity
Energy-based devices (CO2/Er:YAG lasers, radiofrequency) aim to stimulate collagen and tissue remodeling
Typical course: a series of sessions with maintenance as needed
Results are gradual over weeks as collagen reorganizes
Symptoms We Often Address
- Vaginal dryness and irritation (genitourinary syndrome of menopause)
- Pain with intimacy due to microtears or dryness
- Mild stress urinary incontinence (leakage with cough/sneeze/exertion)
- Sensation of laxity after childbirth or over time
- External tissue changes affecting comfort or confidence
Why It Matters
Comfort and pelvic health influence intimacy, exercise, and day-to-day confidence. A personalized plan considers tissue health, pelvic floor strength, pH and microbiome, hormonal status, and your preferences so improvements are meaningful and sustainable.
How Energy-Based Treatments Work
Fractional CO2 or Er:YAG lasers create precise microthermal zones that trigger a wound-healing response and collagen remodeling. Radiofrequency delivers controlled heat to deeper layers to support firmness and elasticity. Both approaches aim to improve tissue hydration, thickness, and support over time.
Laser vs. Radiofrequency (RF)
Fractional Laser (CO2 / Er:YAG)
- Targets superficial and mid-depth tissues
- May benefit dryness and surface discomfort
- Mild downtime (temporary sensitivity/spotting)
- Often 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
Radiofrequency (RF)
- Primarily heats deeper tissues for firmness
- May support mild laxity and tone
- Typically minimal downtime
- Series of sessions with periodic maintenance
Who Is a Candidate?
Good candidates have bothersome dryness, mild laxity, or light stress urinary leakage and are seeking non-surgical options. We avoid treatment during pregnancy, active infections, or unexplained bleeding. If you have a history of pelvic radiation, autoimmune disease, or prolapse, we'll review safety and alternatives carefully.
What to Expect
Most visits take 20–40 minutes. Treatments are typically well tolerated; you may feel warmth or a mild prickling sensation. Expect temporary sensitivity and light spotting for 24–72 hours, with guidance to avoid intercourse, tampons, hot tubs, and vigorous exercise for a short period. Improvements are gradual over several weeks as collagen remodels; many patients choose a maintenance session annually.
Comprehensive Care, Not One-Size-Fits-All
Energy-based therapy is one tool. Many patients benefit from a combined approach: non-hormonal moisturizers, pelvic floor physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and when indicated, local estrogen or other prescriptions. We help you weigh options so your plan fits your body, goals, and comfort level.
Before Your Visit
- ✓Avoid treatments during active infections or bleeding
- ✓Share your full medical, gynecologic, and medication history
- ✓Plan to pause intercourse, hot tubs, and high-intensity workouts for a short period after treatment
- ✓Bring questions and note your top goals (comfort, tone, leakage, appearance)
Frequently Asked Questions
1How many sessions will I need?
Most plans include a series of treatments—commonly 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart—with optional maintenance. Your schedule depends on your symptoms and goals.
2Will this replace hormone therapy?
Not necessarily. For menopausal dryness, local estrogen can be highly effective and may be combined with non-hormonal options or energy-based therapy. We'll tailor the plan to your preferences and medical profile.
3Is there downtime?
Downtime is typically light: temporary sensitivity, discharge, or spotting for 1–3 days. We provide specific aftercare instructions to support healing.
4Is it safe?
When appropriately selected and performed, treatments are generally well tolerated. Potential risks include temporary discomfort, spotting, infection, or tissue irritation. Careful screening and following aftercare reduce these risks.
5Will it help urinary leakage?
Some patients with mild stress incontinence report improvement. We also discuss pelvic floor therapy and other options if leakage is more than mild.
