Choosing a Doctor for Vaginal Rejuvenation

In previous articles we discussed the many different types of vaginal rejuvenation procedures that are now available. From medications, to surgery, to state-of-the-art treatment, a woman now has choices in treating painful intercourse, vaginal looseness or dryness and/or embarrassing bladder leaks.

But the single most important decision a woman will make when considering vaginal rejuvenation is who will perform the procedure.

Obviously, surgical procedures such as labiaplasty and vaginoplasty are complex surgeries requiring highly specialized training and experience to ensure patient safety and achieve a successful outcome. But even non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedures require special training, and should only be performed by a highly experienced, licensed medical provider.

Choosing Your Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment

To begin with, only doctor can help you determine the underlying medical condition causing your vaginal problems – including painful sex or bladder leaks. And diagnosing the underlying cause is essential to choosing the right treatment to restore vaginal and pelvic function.

For example, Geneveve radiofrequency vaginal rejuvenation is very effective in reducing or eliminating bladder leaks due to “stress urinary incontinence” (SUI). But Geneveve treatments do not remedy bladder leaks caused by urge Incontinence (overactive bladder) which is a condition in which the brain, spinal cord and bladder don’t work together properly release urine at the right time.

Since many vaginal rejuvenation treatments are often not covered by health insurance, a woman can end up paying thousands of dollars for the wrong treatment, if it is not properly selected by an experienced women’s health professional.

Choosing Your Vaginal Rejuvenation Doctor

Always check your doctor’s credentials before agreeing to have a vaginal rejuvenation procedure or surgery. Do not have these treatments performed at a spa or other facility without a qualified doctor conducting or supervising the treatment.

Choosing a plastic surgeon like Doctor Ali who is board certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) is a good place to start. Board certified plastic surgeons undergo a minimum of 1 to 2 years of cosmetic surgery training beyond medical school, and exclusively operate in accredited surgical facilities.

When performed by a highly qualified medical doctor, vaginal rejuvenation procedures can enhance and improve many aspects of a woman’s life. The best way to learn more is to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali for a consultation.

Which Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment is Best (Part 2)

Aging, childbearing, and hormonal changes from menopause or certain surgeries, can negatively affect female vaginal tissues in ways that substantial interfere with a woman’s quality of life. “Vaginal rejuvenation” refers to a wide variety of procedures that reshape, tighten, refresh or restore the condition of the vagina.

Doctors can help their patients choose from a variety of vaginal rejuvenation treatments – for cosmetic reasons as well as to improve painful intercourse, reduce vaginal laxity and dryness or stop bladder leaks (stress urinary incontinence). Vaginal rejuvenation procedures range from medication (hormone replacement), to exercise (Kegels), to topical ointments (lubricants), to non-invasive radiofrequency treatments, to surgery.

So, with so many options, which vaginal rejuvenation treatment is right for you? In this two part article, Birmingham, MI board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali explains the different vaginal rejuvenation options – and why he prefers radiofrequency Geneveve treatment for vaginal rejuvenation.

Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment

For almost a decade, lasers and radiofrequency have been FDA approved to treat and rejuvenate lax skin on the face and other areas of the body. Now this amazing technology has been formulated to treat vaginal laxity and atrophy in the vagina, as well!

The vagina, like the face, is made up of skin. And all types of skin rely on collagen for elasticity, tone and overall youthfulness.  As we age, and as female hormone production decreases over time, the skin on the face and in the vagina loses its tightness, and becomes dry, and lax.

State of the art radiofrequency technology stimulates the production of collagen in the vagina – “rejuvenating” the tissue to a more firm, plump, elastic and youthful state. This not only improves sexual sensation and performance, but also stops or substantial reduces bladder leaks due to stress incontinence.

There are currently three types of non-surgical treatments “on the market” being used to for vaginal rejuvenation: CO2, YAG and Radiofrequency. They go by various brand names such as MonaLisa, ThermiVeve and Geneveve.

Renowned Detroit area plastic surgeon Doctor Ali has devoted his medical practice to women’s health and well-being. After studying the various vaginal rejuvenation procedures available, he believes that Geneveve by Viveve is the best, most comfortable and most effective vaginal rejuvenation procedure available.

Geneveve is the ONLY vaginal rejuvenation that only requires a single treatment to restore vaginal health. Additionally, only Geneveve has patented cryo-cooling technology incorporated into the treatment to offset the heat of the treatment for a relaxing and pain free experience.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery

One would think that a highly skilled cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Ali would be a big advocate of surgery for vaginal rejuvenation. However, as a doctor dedicated to women’s health and wellbeing, he believes that Geneveve vaginal rejuvenation is a preferable option to restore tone and tightness to vulvovaginal areas, in most cases.

While some patients may have extreme situations that mandate the use of surgery for vaginal rejuvenation as a last resort, most of our Detroit area patients can achieve the results they desire with non-surgical Geneveve treatment.

Surgical options for vaginal rejuvenation include Labiaplasty, for sagging, overly large, or misshapen labia that are causing considerable discomfort when wearing certain clothing or exercising, and/or interfering with a woman’s sexual self-confidence.

In other situations, surgical vaginal rejuvenation using vaginoplasty can surgically tightens loose or stretched vaginal muscles. Results from this can last for many years, but is not recommended for women who plan to have more children.

Labiaplasty and vaginoplasty are safe and effective surgical procedures for restoring a more normal tone and appearance to the vagina and labia, when performed by an experienced, board certified cosmetic surgeon, like Dr. Ali.

However, unlike Geneveve  vaginal rejuvenation, these surgeries require “downtime” off work of 3 to 5 days, no exercise for 2 to 3 weeks, and refraining from sexual intercourse for at least a month. Additionally, these procedure require anesthetic, stitches and pain meds – and are significantly more expensive than treatments.  While not an optimal solution for every patient, non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation should be considered first by most women before pursuing surgical options.

Who Can Geneveve Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment Help?

Women of all ages suffer from vaginal dryness and burning, painful sex, decreased vaginal tightness and bladder leaks. These problems can be brought on by hormonal changes, childbirth and even hereditary factors – and are far more common than most women realize. Yet many women suffer in silence, rather than seek medical treatment for these issues.

The exciting news is that non-surgical Geneveve Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment can reduce or eliminate these symptoms – in just one treatment at our Birmingham MI medical office – with NO surgery and NO dangerous hormones.

In this article we offer some insight into which women can benefit from Geneveve Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment Can Help After Menopause

After menopause more than fifty percent of women suffer in silence with painful, uncomfortable and embarrassing “female problems”, including painful intercourse and embarrassing bladder leaks.

This is because, after menopause, a women’s female hormone production (Estrogen) decreases dramatically. The result is often vaginal dryness, itching and burning, painful sex, decreased vaginal tightness and urinary incontinence. This condition is called Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) – or more commonly “vaginal atrophy”.

Geneveve Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment uses a single session of gentle radiofrequency to stimulate the vagina’s collagen production, which effectively reduces all of these symptoms.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment Can Help After Childbirth

“Loose vagina” refers to a condition where the diameter of the vagina has stretched over time, and does not have the elasticity to “bounce back.” The result can be less tightness during intercourse, as well as less sensation during sex.

While this condition becomes more common as women age, it can also occur in younger women as a result of giving birth.

Geneveve rejuvenation treatment can be a life changing treatment in cases of “loose vagina” – by stimulating the collagen that restores vaginal tightness and elasticity.

(Note that it is important for the doctor to examine the vagina to rule out pelvic organ prolapse or other involvement of pelvic muscles or tissues that may not be suitable for Geneveve.)

Vaginal Rejuvenation Can Help Breast Cancer Survivors & “Pre-vivors”

Women who are breast cancer survivors can experience “premature menopause” following treatment for breast cancer. Additionally, women who are at high risk for breast cancer may undergo risk-reducing surgical removal of their ovaries, which can also lead to the hormone reduction.

However, breast cancer survivors – and women at high risk for breast cancer – are NOT good candidates for hormone replacement therapy, because it can increase the risk of cancer or cancer recurrence.

For these patients, Geneveve Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment provides an excellent and effective alternative to hormone replacement therapy for vaginal rejuvenation.

In fact, Geneveve Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment can help any women who do not want to undergo hormone therapy – which is known to increase the risk for heart attacks, breast cancer and strokes.

Is Vaginal Rejuvenation FDA Approved?

“Vaginal Rejuvenation” is a term that women are suddenly hearing a lot more about in women’s magazines, talk shows, blogs and online videos. However, it is important to understand that vaginal rejuvenation is a fairly general expression and not really a specific medical term.

That being said there ARE new medical treatments that CAN help “rejuvenate” vaginal tissue to improve dry or itching vaginas, painful intercourse or sexual intimacy in general. In this article board certified plastic surgeon discusses FDA approval of so-called “vaginal rejuvenation” treatments.

Vaginal Rejuvenation and FDA Approval

To begin with, it is important to understand how the FDA process works. It can take years to get through the paperwork and required clinical trials of the FDA approval process. If a product or procedure is not yet approved by the FDA, it does NOT mean that it doesn’t work – it just means that it hasn’t made it through all the hurdles of the FDA approval process.

Reputable doctors who are on the cutting edge of state-of-the-art medical procedures often use procedures that have been tested, proven to be safe and effective, even before FDA approval is official. In fact, this is often how advances and breakthroughs in medicine are made.

Viveve Geneveve Vaginal Rejuvenation and FDA Approval

Currently, in the United States, the Viveve System is cleared by the FDA for general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis. And, the Viveve Geneveve System is already approved for the treatment of vaginal laxity and/or the improvement of sexual function in 56 countries around the world.

In March of 2018, the FDA approved Viveve to proceed with the VIVEVE II clinical study to determine the effects of Geneveve treatment on improvement of sexual function.

So, while the Viveve Geneveve vaginal rejuvenation treatment itself is not yet actually FDA approved for “vaginal rejuvenation,” it is FDA approved for other uses and is currently under study for FDA approval for vaginal rejuvenation.

Meanwhile, while the FDA process drags along, thousands of women in the US and worldwide have reported that their bladder leaks have stopped and their sex life has improved after Viveve Geneveve vaginal rejuvenation treatment.
