H. Q. - FemiLift Patient
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
FemiLift is Amazing!
After having four kids and dealing with daily incontinence, I was skeptical but hopeful about FemiLift. I had tried physical therapy and a pessary but avoided mesh surgery.
​

The process included a consultation and three sessions, each about 10 minutes long. While there was some discomfort, it was brief and manageable. The staff was great, and there was no downtime—just minor discharge for a few days. I noticed improvements within a week and stopped using pads after the first session. I feel like my pre-kid self again and wish I had done this sooner. FemiLift truly restored my freedom and control.

A Game-Changing Experience with FemiLift
I was initially skeptical, but as a 46-year-old mom dealing with leaks and dryness, I decided to try FemiLift. After 86 days, I’m thrilled with the results. I haven’t had an accident since my second session, and the leaks are completely resolved.
​

FemiLift also transformed my sex life, significantly improving dryness that other treatments couldn’t address. The procedure was worth every minute and dollar. I feel much more comfortable and confident, and it has truly enhanced my quality of life. If you’re on the fence about FemiLift, trust me, it’s worth it—I only wish I had done it sooner!

FemiLift FAQ

What is the femilift?
The FemiLift procedure is a non-surgical, minimally invasive laser treatment that is designed to improve vaginal health and address various female sexual and pelvic health conditions. It uses a fractional CO2 laser to stimulate collagen production and promote tissue remodeling in the vaginal area.
is the femilift for me?
The FemiLift procedure is ideal for women of all ages who are experiencing a variety of common concerns related to vaginal health. Whether you're dealing with chronic urinary infections, urinary leakage, or stress incontinence, FemiLift offers a non-surgical, effective solution. This advanced laser treatment can also help women struggling with post-breast cancer vaginal dryness and dyspareunia (painful intercourse).

If you’re a young mother dealing with postpartum issues like urinary incontinence or an older woman experiencing vaginal dryness due to hormonal changes, FemiLift can help improve your comfort and quality of life. By stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue regeneration, FemiLift restores vaginal health and function, helping you regain confidence and control.

FemiLift is even suitable for women who have not experienced pregnancy, providing a comprehensive solution for a range of conditions.

Contraindications for FemiLift There are some cases where FemiLift may not be appropriate. Women with a vaginal mesh or vaginal sling in place should avoid the procedure, as the laser can interfere with these devices. It is also not recommended for those with active bacterial or viral infections, during menstruation, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Additionally, women with moderate to severe pelvic organ prolapse may find FemiLift ineffective for their condition.

​If you're looking for a safe, effective treatment to restore vaginal health, FemiLift could be right for you. Discover how this revolutionary laser technology can help you say goodbye to discomfort and hello to a more fulfilling life.
What conditions does the femilift treat?
The FemiLift laser is a versatile and effective treatment that addresses a range of women's pelvic health concerns. This procedure can help with issues such as vaginal laxity, stress urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, chronic urinary infections, painful intercourse, and post-menopausal symptoms. By specifically targeting these conditions, FemiLift offers multiple benefits, including:
  • Enhanced vaginal tightness and elasticity
  • Improved sexual satisfaction
  • Reduced urinary leakage
  • Relief from vaginal dryness and discomfort
  • Assistance with postpartum recovery

It is also particularly beneficial for women who have had estrogen-dependent breast cancer and now experience painful intercourse or vaginal dryness as a result of their cancer treatment.

FemiLift is an innovative solution to restore comfort and confidence in women facing these common, yet often overlooked, issues.
What to expecT
​For an effective FemiLift treatment program, you'll typically need three sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Your first appointment includes a 30-minute consultation and your initial treatment. Subsequent sessions, which take around 15 minutes each, will be scheduled after your initial visit. The exact number of treatments may vary based on your individual needs and goals. During your consultation, our medical provider will assess your condition and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
Preparation for Your FemiLift Treatment
Before your consultation and first treatment, please follow these guidelines:
  • Avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and vaginal creams for a few days prior to the procedure.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain good vaginal hygiene.
  • Do not undergo FemiLift if you have vaginal mesh, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an active bacterial or viral vaginal infection.
  • If you have a history of herpes simplex virus, begin prophylactic antiviral treatment two days before and continue for five days after the procedure.
  • Women with extreme vaginal dryness should use topical estradiol cream in the vaginal canal for 30 days before the procedure to prevent discomfort.
Day of Your FemiLift Procedure
​On the day of your FemiLift treatment, you’ll start with a vaginal exam using a speculum. This allows our medical provider to assess your needs and plan the extent of the treatment. Generally, no anesthesia is needed for the FemiLift procedure. However, based on your individual needs, a local anesthetic may be used to enhance your comfort. Your provider will explain all necessary details during your consultation to ensure you are fully prepared and informed for the procedure.
After Your FemiLift Procedure
​After the FemiLift procedure, you must avoid anything in the vagina for at least 3 days. After that, you can test out your results! You can expect minimal downtime and literally do this treatment program over your lunch break. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of warmth in the treated area, but this usually subsides within a few days. Some will have increased vaginal discharge post-procedure.
Treatment Program And Pricing
​The treatment program includes an initial consultation and three treatment procedures. The first treatment will usually be done at the initial consultation, unless directed otherwise by your medical provider. The total cost for this program is $2499, normally $2999. If you decide not to proceed with the treatment program at your consultation, the consultation fee will be $249. Patients who are actively bleeding, pregnant, breastfeeding, have an active vaginal infection, vaginal mesh, or moderate-severe pelvic organ prolapse are not candidates for the procedure and should not book the initial consultation. Please reach out to our office to inquire about alternative scheduling options.
