​Let us discuss the vagina for a minute—this muscular organ deserves some respect. Everyone with a vagina knows how important it is to have this organ in good working order. Throughout our lifetime, the vagina can endure a lot of stress and strain, leading to changes we do NOT have to live with. Let me introduce you to my favorite procedure at IFM called FemiLift.

What is FemiLift?
FemiLift is a revolutionary non-surgical, minimally invasive laser treatment that is changing the game when it comes to rejuvenating vaginal tissues. This innovative procedure uses a CO2 laser to stimulate collagen production and improve blood flow in the vaginal walls, resulting in tighter, more youthful tissue.

Why Consider FemiLift?
As women age, especially after childbirth or menopause, they may experience changes in vaginal health, including dryness, laxity, and urinary incontinence. FemiLift offers a safe and effective solution to address these issues without the need for surgery or downtime.

How Does FemiLift Work?
During a FemiLift treatment:

• A small probe is inserted into the vagina.
• Laser energy is delivered to the targeted areas.
• The laser stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to tighten and tone the vaginal tissues.
• Improved blood flow enhances sensation and lubrication.

Benefits of FemiLift

• Quick and Virtually Painless: Most patients report feeling only a mild warming sensation during the treatment, with no need for anesthesia or numbing cream. The entire procedure typically takes less than 10 minutes.
• No Downtime: Patients can resume their normal activities immediately.
• Improves Vaginal Health: Addresses vaginal laxity, pain with sex, and dryness.
• Reduces Urinary Incontinence: Strengthens the vaginal walls and supports the bladder, reducing or eliminating leaks when coughing, sneezing, or exercising.

Real Results from FemiLift
Overall, FemiLift is a game-changer for women looking to improve their vaginal health and overall quality of life. With its quick, painless, and effective results, this non-surgical laser treatment offers a safe and convenient option for rejuvenating vaginal tissues. If you are interested in learning more about FemiLift and how it can benefit you, schedule a consultation with Dianna O’Neill, ARNP, or Sarah Lee, ARNP, and we can get started from there.

​Patient Testimonial: Marie’s Experience with FemiLift

Hello, my name is Marie, and I wanted to share my recent experience with the FemiLift procedure at IFM.

After giving birth to my three children, I started to notice changes in my vaginal health. I experienced vaginal dryness, decreased sensation during intercourse, and even some urinary incontinence when I laughed or sneezed. I was hesitant to talk to my provider about these issues, but I knew I needed to do something to improve my quality of life.

That's when I discovered FemiLift. I did some research and read about how this minimally invasive laser treatment could help with vaginal rejuvenation, tightening, and even urinary incontinence. I decided to schedule a consultation at IFM in West Des Moines to discuss this option.

During the consultation, they explained the procedure to me and answered all my questions. I felt comfortable and confident that FemiLift was the right choice for me. The actual treatment was quick—5 minutes. I was able to feel the warmth from the probe toward the end, which is expected. I was able to resume my normal activities immediately afterward. I am glad I did this before the weekend, so I had a few days to relax afterward. I had vaginal discharge for a few days afterward but other than that no other symptoms.

I started to notice improvements in my vaginal health within a few weeks of the treatment. My vaginal tissues felt tighter and more rejuvenated, and I noticed an increase in sensation during intercourse. The best part was that my urinary incontinence symptoms significantly improved, and I no longer had embarrassing leaks when I laughed or sneezed.

Overall, my experience with FemiLift has been life-changing. I feel more confident and comfortable in my own body, and I am grateful for this innovative treatment that has helped me improve my vaginal health. If you are considering FemiLift, I highly recommend giving it a try—it could make a world of difference for you, just like it did for me.
