Is Vaginal Rejuvenation Right for You? Understanding Your Options

Aging  changes the body, and your vagina is no exception. In fact, your intimate area can be particularly susceptible to unwelcome changes as you age. 

You might notice that your vaginal area feels drier or your tissue feels less elastic. Intimacy might not be as enjoyable. You may even experience a little urine leakage when you sneeze or laugh.

This doesn’t have to be your new normal. Jean Johnson, MD, offers multiple forms of vaginal rejuvenation. In fact, she named her practice Rejuvenation For Her. Come visit our office in Weston, Florida, to learn what this kind of care could do for you. 

When you should ask about vaginal rejuvenation

You should pursue this kind of treatment if you’ve noticed undesirable changes to your vagina or parts of your life that it affects, like your ability to hold your urine or your sex life. Dr. Johnson can help you explore treatment if you have:

• Dryness
• Burning sensations
• Laxity
• Pain during intercourse( decreased elasticity) 
• Thinner vaginal tissue( painful) 
• Frequent urination , urgency 

You might also want to talk to Dr. Johnson if you:

• Are in perimenopause or menopause
• Notice laxity after vaginal childbirth
• Have experienced vaginal changes as a result of breast cancer treatment

Talk with Dr. Johnson about the symptoms you want to address. She can help chart the right course for you.

Your options for addressing unwelcome vaginal changes

Here at our office, Dr. Johnson has two forms of treatment to address unwelcome vaginal changes. She’s chosen these options because they’re effective and relatively easy to deploy. 

Alma Pixel  Femilift CO2 Laser ( FDA cleared) 

The Alma laser uses a CO2 laser energy  to stimulate rejuvenation changes in your vaginal tissue.

During treatment, Dr. Johnson uses a handheld noninvasive device to send the therapeutic energy into the tissue of your vagina. As the laser goes to work, it encourages your vaginal tissue to make more collagen and elastin. The laser improves dryness,  helps with vaginal laxity and elasticity.  

Most women get the best results with a series of laser treatments. Dr. Johnson can plan a personalized course of treatment for you. 

The O-Shot®

The O-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to encourage changes in your vaginal tissue. 

Dr. Johnson harvests PRP by separating the platelets from a small sample of your blood. Injecting that into your vagina (after applying a numbing agent) supplies growth factors your tissue can use for rejuvenation. Many women report increased sexual pleasure after this treatment. 

If vaginal rejuvenation sounds like it could be right for you, schedule self care time to explore your options with Dr. Johnson. Call our office or use our online tool to book an appointment today.
