Services at MediFemme
Vaginal Rejuvenation Therapy, offered by MediFemme is a non-ablative, CO2 Laser procedure which aids in the renewal of vaginal canal tissue – restoring elasticity, firmness and structural composition. VRT is non-surgical, minimally invasive and highly effective.
This revolutionary laser therapy is performed by trained specialist Natalie Agostinho in a simple, safe and pain free session. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, without the need for hospitalisation, anaesthetic or incisions.
VRT involves the introduction of gentle thermal heat to the affected area, applying the superior technology of the FemiLift CO2 Laser Device. The warmth of the laser has the effect of stimulating collagen production, repairing damaged fibroblasts (protein tissue) and thereby promoting the restoration of lost elasticity and firmness to the vaginal canal.
The results are long lasting remodelling and tightening of the vaginal canal area and subsequent reinstatement of functionality and sensitivity.
The Conditions and Solution
Vaginal Relaxation Syndrome is a condition which occurs when the walls of the vagina begin to stretch and loose laxity due to childbirth, weight fluctuations and the natural ageing process. Whilst various treatment options have been available for a number of years, some of these therapies, such as surgery and invasive laser techniques, involve high levels of discomfort, hospitalisation and extended recovery periods.
The Technology
Developed by Alma Surgical, The FemiLift Co2 Laser represents the ultimate in non-ablative laser technology.
Demonstrating superior precision and control, the FemiLift surpasses all previous laser devices in functionality, simplicity and effectiveness.
This revolutionary laser therapy is performed by trained specialist Natalie Agostinho in a simple, safe and pain free session. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, without the need for hospitalisation, anaesthetic or incisions.
Patients can return to normal daily activities immediately and no after-care is required. In order to achieve optimal results, three treatment sessions are recommended, at monthly intervals.
