Vaginal Rejuvenation for ‘Stress Urinary Incontinence’

Vaginal Rejuvenation to Treat Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress Urinary incontinence (SUI) is the medical term for a specific type of unintentional urination. This accidental bladder leakage can occur when coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, lifting or other activities. Fortunately, new vaginal rejuvenation treatments are now available for SUI that are safe and do not require invasive and painful surgery!

Who Gets Stress Urinary Incontinence

While you may not experience SUI every time you exercise or cough, these unexpected leaks can be the source of embarrassment. You might be at the gym, at work, having lunch with friends, or may even experience SUI during sex.

These unexpected leaks can occur with any exertion that puts pressure or stress on the bladder and is much more common in women than men often because of physical changes, such as pregnancy and childbirth. More than 55 percent of women who have had vaginal delivery may exhibit symptoms of SUI.

Aging and other factors such as obesity, menopause and hysterectomy and even high impact sports may cause the onset of SUI, a condition that is both inconvenient and embarrassing.

What Causes Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress incontinence occurs when pelvic muscles and tissues supporting the urethra at the opening of the bladder become weakened. The process of pregnancy and childbirth tends to place a lot of extra pressure on these muscles and tissues. However, weight gain, hormonal changes, injury and aging can also be a factor.

When pressure is suddenly applied against the bladder from normal activities these muscles give way and allow small amounts of urine to leak from the bladder.

Stress Urinary Incontinence left untreated will typically worsen and the leaks can increase in volume and may also become more frequent.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Treats Stress Urinary Incontinence

SUI is an extremely personal problem.  Most women do not like to talk about it and often assume they just have learn to live with it.  There may be some limited benefit to the pelvic floor exercises known as Kegels, though keeping up with this exercise can be daunting. More aggressive treatment can include invasive surgery, utilizing slings and mesh that involve many risks and a long recovery.

However, there is a new, non-surgical treatment that can actually put an end to embarrassing bladder leakage caused by SUT. Vaginal Rejuvenation utilizing the Geneveve procedure is a non-surgical treatment that applies radiofrequency heat to the vagina.

With Geneveve there is no need for anesthetic, no incision and no scarring.

Safe and effective, Vaginal Rejuvenation is a minimally invasive treatment that delivers gentle pulses of energy, stimulating the production of collagen, restoring vaginal tone and elasticity. Even better, only one Geneveve treatment is needed for most women!

The treatment features a cooling process that ensures the experience is comfortable and painless. Patients report that vaginal dryness and irritation decreases and sexual sensation is also improved.

The Geneveve procedure procedure can take as little as 30 minutes and is performed in the comfort of our discreet, state-of-the-art Troy, MI area medical office under the supervision of renowned Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ali.

Ask the Doctor: Is Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation Safe?

ASK DOCTOR ALI:
What is Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation and Is it Safe?

Fast, comfortable, non-surgical radiofrequency skin tightening treatments – boasting zero downtime, and no scars – have been a popular cosmetic treatment for faces for more than 15 years. Now the same radiofrequency skin tightening used since 2001 to make people look younger is gaining widespread recognition for making vaginas act and feel younger.

The Science of Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation

Radiofrequency is a common type of energy found in many aspects of daily life – from WiFi signals, xrays, radio and TV waves, and microwave ovens. Like any type of energy, radiofrequency is measured in “frequency,” or wavelengths per second.

The radiofrequency used in skin tightening is around 450 kilohertz, which is on the very low and “slow” end of the radiofrequency range. For example the radiofrequency (RF) of skin tightening treatments are more than 1 billion times slower/lower than an Xray. In other words, RF energy is very, very low when compared to the whole spectrum of electromagnetic energy.

How Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation Tightens Skin

Like any form of energy, radiofrequency produces heat. RF vaginal rejuvenation treatments work by heating the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate new collagen and elastin production, and encourage new cell regeneration. This in turn helps skin lining the vagina to become firmer, thicker and more youthful.

The advantage of using radiofrequency to heat vaginal tissue – as opposed to using the higher frequency lasers – is that the lower frequency of radiofrequency can safely penetrate to a deeper level. In other words, while high frequency lasers improve the skin’s surface, radiofrequency penetrates the skin to improve skin tone and structure, even lifting tissues.

Studies Show Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation is Safe

Everyone is exposed to low levels of radiofrequency energy every day, from cell phones, TVs, WiFi, and more. Because it’s used for so many things, RF has been extensively studied for many decades to determine its impact on humans. However, there is no conclusive evidence that radiofrequency exposure increases cancer risk in humans, even in those individuals who are regularly exposed to higher amounts of radiofrequency on their jobs.

The main known risk of radiofrequency exposure is the potential for burns from the thermal heat RF generates – but ONLY if it is administered in high doses without proper protection. However, the radiofrequency used in FDA-approved non-surgical tissue tightening is highly controlled and administered at very low doses for complete safety.

If the RF vaginal rejuvenation procedure is performed correctly by a trained medical professional, there should be no risk at all of burns or even discomfort from the heat. The radiofrequency in vaginal tightening treatments is highly controlled, and the equipment allows the doctor to closely monitor and control the device during treatment to ensure that the vaginal tissue reaches the optimal temperature to stimulate new collagen production and cell regeneration – without ever overheating the vagina.

Many clinical studies have demonstrated the excellent safety profile of radiofrequency for facial skin tightening as well as vaginal rejuvenation.

New Alternatives to Vaginal Mesh for Bladder Leak Treatment

Alternatives to Vaginal Mesh for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Bladder leaks are frustrating and embarrassing, yet they happen to almost 40% of women either after vaginal childbirth or after menopause. Sadly – because of some dangerous and ineffective bladder procedures used by doctors in the past – many women avoid pursuing any treatment at all and just “live with” urinary incontinence.

The great news is that there are now non-surgical, non-invasive bladder leak treatments that are 100% safe and highly effective!

The Dangers of Vaginal Mesh

If you own a television, you have no doubt seen the many attorneys’ commercials advertising for individuals who have had a trans-vaginal mesh implant. This mesh looks like a fishing net made of either metal, fiber or plastic. In the 1970s some gynecological surgeons started to use meshes to treat pelvic organ prolapse, as well as “stress urinary incontinence” (bladder leaks).

Because so many women suffer from urinary incontinence, over 100,000 procedures using transvaginal mesh were being performed in the United States every year. But women began to experience both mild and very serious complications from the mesh. And because the mesh is a permanent implant that literally becomes enveloped by the body tissue, it typically cannot be removed if complications occur.

As a result, the FDA now recommends that women and their doctors carefully consider other treatment options – and only use trans-vaginal mesh as a last resort.

 Poor Vaginal Mesh Alternatives

Many doctors preach that weight loss and exercising, along with Kegel exercises, can help improve stress incontinence. But for Kegel exercises to be effective, they have to be done every day. And, we all know how hard losing weight can be – particularly after menopause.

Other undesirable options to treat stress urinary incontinence are also sometimes recommended, such as inserting an object into the vagina to physically hold the bladder – such as a “pessary” or “vaginal cone” or a surgically inserted sling (urethropexy). Electrical stimulation or biofeedback have also been tried, but require the insertion of electronic devices.

Radiofrequency the Best Alternative to Vaginal Mesh

Because of the newness of radiofrequency vaginal treatments for stress urinary incontinence, many doctors or gynecologists may simply not be familiar with this amazing technology yet.

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

Before you agree to have any type of surgery, electronic device, or vaginal device inserted schedule a consultation to learn about non-surgical, non-invasive Geneveve radiofrequency treatment for bladder leaks (stress urinary incontinence.)

FDA Approval for Vaginal Tightening Treatment Clinical Studies

Viveve Announces FDA Approval to Continue Studies on Vaginal Tightening

Vaginal looseness or “laxity” that causes loss of sexual sensation is a medical condition affecting more than 40% of women. Yet, because many women are embarrassed to talk about it – coupled with the fact that the medical community was male dominated until relatively recently – this problem was largely ignored. And when vaginal laxity was addressed, dangerous and invasive surgery was the only option.

The good news is that new vaginal tightening treatments for vaginal laxity are finally available, very safe, and do NOT require painful surgery.

12 Month Geneveve Vaginal Tightening Treatment Study

Viveve Medical, Inc. is a women’s health company dedicated to advancing medical solutions that improve women’s quality of life. Viveve has patented the GENEVEVE™ treatment, which uses clinically-proven cryogen-cooled, monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) technology to stimulate the production of collagen in areas of the vagina and pelvic floor. By “rejuvenating” the tissues in these areas with radio frequency, the vagina can be “tightened” – leading to improved sexual sensation and function.

Geneveve already has international regulatory approvals and clearances for treating vaginal laxity and/or improvement in sexual function indications in more than 55 countries around the world.

An initial clinical study was also very successful, and the safety data was sufficient for the FDA to grant continued enrollment of up to 100 subjects in second stage of sexual function trial. In March, Viveve received FDA approval to proceed with a second clinical trial (VIVEVE II) to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Viveve® System for the improvement of sexual function in women following vaginal childbirth.

Following FDA review of the second stage of safety data, Viveve plans to expand the study and continue enrollment of up to 250 patients to study the positive effects of Geneveve vaginal tightening treatment on vaginal laxity and sexual sensation.

Radiofrequency has been FDA approved for almost a decade for tightening laxity in the face. And in the initial study absolutely no complications, side effects or risks were found. In the second phase of the study female patients will also be assessed for safety – as well as for improvement in “FSFI”: Desire, Lubrication, Orgasm, Arousal, Satisfaction, and Pain.

Choosing the Right Vaginal Rejuvenation Doctor

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 1)

Which Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment is Best (Part 1)

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 s (non-invasive), to surgery.

So, with so many options, which vaginal rejuvenation treatment is right for you? In this 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.

Kegel Exercises for Vaginal Rejuvenation

The muscles in the vagina and pelvic floor are like any other muscles – they atrophy (become weaker) over time, especially with reduced use. As the saying goes: “Use it or lose it.” Kegel exercises can indeed help strengthen the muscles within the pelvis and vagina – helping reduce bladder leaks and possible improving vaginal tone.

But Kegel exercises do not restore the collagen that gives the vagina its elasticity and plumpness. Similarly, Kegels do not treat the dryness, itching and painful intercourse caused by reduced lubrication.

Hormone Replacement for Vaginal Rejuvenation

Hormone therapy typically starts with estrogen being applied topically in the vagina, via a cream, a “ring” or a vaginally inserted tablet. If this method is not effective, the women is then typically prescribed hormone pills (oral Estrogen).

The application of vaginal hormones creams and pills is generally unpleasant and messy, and has to be repeated daily.

An even bigger problem with hormones replacement, is the fact that it has been shown to increase the risk of heart attack, breast cancer and strokes. Women at-risk for breast cancer, as well as women who are breast cancer survivors are especially advised to avoid hormone replacement therapy.

Vaginal Suppositories & Creams for Vaginal Rejuvenation

Some natural over-the-counter vaginal suppositories can also provide temporary relief of vaginal dryness and painful intercourse – however they do not reduce bladder leaks. These suppositories may include Vitamin e, Hyaluronic Acid, Boric Acid or certain botanical ingredients.

These suppositories, however, only provide temporary relief, are quite expensive ($25 to $75 per box), can be very messy, and need to be applied daily for continued relief.

Creams containing coconut oil or olive oil to moisturize the vulva area, or use of long-lasting silicone-based lubricants during intercourse can also temporarily make sex less painful. But they do not remedy the underlying problem, and can be very inconvenient and messy to use.

The good news is that doctors can now use new, state-of-the-art, radio frequency vaginal rejuvenation treatment to get rid of the need for dangerous hormones and messy creams – with just a single in-office procedure!

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.

Vaginal Atrophy Treatments: Laser vs. Hormones

Vaginal Atrophy Treatments:
Geneveve Radiofrequency vs. Hormone Therapy

Vaginal atrophy is a very common feminine problem that results when a woman’s body no longer produces enough female hormone (estrogen) to keep her vagina in soft, lubricated and flexible.

Symptoms of vaginal atrophy include dryness, burning, and itching in the vagina – as well as a loss of vaginal lubrication that results in painful sex. Some types of bladder leaks (urinary incontinence) can also be caused by vaginal atrophy.

In this article we compare traditional treatment of hormone replacement therapy, with the new, state-of-the-art Geneveve vaginal radiofrequency treatment for vaginal atrophy.

Hormone Therapy for Vaginal Atrophy Treatment

In the past, doctors only option for treating women who suffered from vaginal atrophy was hormone replacement therapy.  Hormone therapy typically started with estrogen being applied topically in the vagina. Women could use a cream, a “ring” or use a vaginally inserted tablet. If this method was not effective, women were typically put on hormone pills (oral Estrogen).

All of these treatments were quite inconvenient as they had to be repeated daily. And th application of vaginal hormones creams and pills is generally unpleasant and messy.

An even bigger problem with hormones replacement, is the fact that it has been shown to increase the risk of heart attack, breast cancer and strokes. Women at-risk for breast cancer, as well as women who are breast cancer survivors are especially advised to avoid hormone replacement therapy.

Geneveve Radiofrequency for Vaginal Atrophy Treatment

Fortunately, Geneveve Vaginal radiofrequency treatment now offers a safe and effective non-hormonal, nonsurgical alternative for treating the symptoms of vaginal atrophy.

Geneveve uses a “wand” to stimulate the vagina’s tissue with a controlled radiofrequency energy pulse. This results in an increase in the vagina’s natural collagen production – which is essential to healthy vaginal cells.

Each radiofrequency session only lasts about five minutes, and the entire appointment takes less than a half hour. Unlike tedious everyday hormone treatments – the Geneveve process only requires one single session.  The procedure is painless, and women typically see an improvement within a few days of treatment – and full results in a few weeks.

The Geneveve radiofrequency wand stimulates the production of collagen in the vagina, increasing blood flow and lubrication and restoring suppleness. The results is that vaginal dryness & itching, bladder leaks and pain during sex are dramatically reduced.

Unlike hormone replacement therapy, Geneveve vaginal radiofrequency treatment has virtually no side effects. The only real downside to Geneveve, is that it is more expensive than hormones and is typically not covered by most insurance providers. However, we do offer financing options for this amazing treatment at our Birmingham, MI Med Spa.

Does “Vaginal Rejuvenation” Really Work?

Does “Vaginal Rejuvenation” Really Work?

“Vaginal Rejuvenation” is a term that women are hearing a lot more in women’s magazines, talk shows, blogs and online videos. However, vaginal rejuvenation is a fairly general expression and not really a specific medical term. It is a generic term that women and health care providers are using to refer to any treatment that helps try to improve dry or itching vaginas, painful intercourse or sexual intimacy in general.

So is Vaginal Rejuvenation actually the real deal? Or is it just a marketing term? The short answer is YES there are highly effective and medically sound treatments that can treat vaginal problems by “rejuvenating” a woman’s vaginal tissue.

In this article renowned Birmingham, MI plastic surgeon Dr. Ali explains the latest medical technologies available to rejuvenate vaginal health.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Technologies

The good news is that there are now new, state-of-the-art technologies that can help restore vaginal tissue cells – without hormones and without surgery.

One of the vaginal tissue health treatments we offer at our Birmingham medical office is Geneveve Vaginal Laser Treatment. During this procedure the doctor inserts a slender laser “wand” into the vagina. The wand emits laser pulses of controlled heat energy (in tandem with cooling technology) which stimulates the production of new collagen in the vagina wall (vaginal mucosa).

This process naturally increases blood flow and lubrication in the vagina – and as a result, symptoms of dryness, itching and burning are reduced or eliminated. In other words, it acts to stimulate the woman’s own body to naturally heal and re-build healthier vaginal tissue.

This in turn reduces pain during intercourse and increases sensation during intimacy. Additionally, the improved condition of the vaginal wall can also help reduce bladder leaks.

State-of-the-Art Vaginal Rejuvenation

As a renowned and respected board certified Birmingham, MI plastic surgeon, it is very important to Dr. Ali to offer the latest and most beneficial technologies for his patients. He also strives to always clearly and carefully explain what we can do for his patients – as well as stay in compliance with all FDA requirements.
