FemTouch Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
As women age,
they may begin to experience symptoms related to their vaginal health which can negatively impact their confidence, quality of life and sexual pleasure. These symptoms are usually the result of decreased estrogen levels after menopause and may include vaginal dryness, itching, and pain and/or bleeding during sexual intercourse. These changes are referred to as vulvovaginal atrophy. Additionally, women may experience urinary symptoms such as burning and stress incontinence, or leakage with cough.
FemTouch Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation, available at Gynecology Associates of Gwinnett, PC in Lawrenceville, GA (north of Atlanta), is an effective way to treat vulvovaginal atrophy and improve vaginal health. FemTouch vaginal rejuvenation uses fractional CO2 laser technology by Lumenis to gently remove damaged tissue and restore the vaginal wall by promoting fibrin and collagen growth and increasing blood supply. FemTouch Vaginal Rejuvenation can improve overall vaginal health and its symptoms.
FemTouch Treatment
FemTouch vaginal rejuvenation treatments are safe, minimally invasive, fast and simple. Each session takes just several minutes and is performed in the office by board-certified gynecologist, Dr. Kristine Gould. During treatment, a sterilized device is inserted into the vagina. It is then moved along the vaginal canal in a 360 degree- pattern to ensure that the entire vaginal canal is treated. A warm sensation may be felt during the procedure. It is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse for one week after each treatment. Two to four treatment sessions may be required to obtain maximal results.
