A fulfilling sex life is an integral part of a woman’s overall health at any stage of adulthood. But as the years pass, many women encounter challenges in this area. Women’s sexual satisfaction has not been given the attention it deserves within the medical community, but recent years have seen some new treatments for this aspect of sexual health.
At Medical Aesthetics & Laser, we understand how important it is to maintain a healthy sex life at any age. That’s why we offer treatments that are aimed at helping you feel more comfortable during intimacy. We invite you to explore how these treatments can improve your quality of life if you live in The Woodlands, Texas, or the Houston metropolitan area.
The transition out of the childbearing years is a natural part of growing older. Menopause technically begins after you’ve gone one full year without a period, but perimenopause can happen years before you reach that point.
Both perimenopause and menopause bring symptoms that are linked to a natural decline in estrogen production. This hormonal imbalance can cause various problems. One of these is a loss of sex drive.
Low estrogen can also change the structure of your vaginal walls. The skin in this area can become thinner, making it more prone to tearing during penetrative sex. Natural lubrication also declines, which further complicates intimacy. Inflammation in the vaginal walls can happen either with or without friction created during sex.
Vaginal rejuvenation is a term used to refer to treatments aimed at restoring a woman’s ability to enjoy sex. There are several ways to reach this goal, and this area of women’s health is now receiving more attention. We can expect even more options to become available in the years to come.
The O-Shot, or “orgasm shot,” is a treatment that takes advantage of platelet-rich plasma, or PRP. You may be aware of PRP and its use in treating many joint health conditions. PRP is created from a small sample of your body’s own blood.
That blood is spun to separate the solid components from the liquid plasma. A technician then gathers the platelets and returns them to the cleared plasma to create a solution rich in special proteins called growth factors.
When injected into the clitoris and vaginal walls near the area known as the Grafenburg spot (G-spot), PRP triggers the body to create new tissue. That can help thicken your vaginal walls, increase elasticity in the area, and enhance circulation. Many women report improvements in vaginal lubrication after having O-Shot treatments.
The diVa® vaginal laser therapy system is another excellent vaginal rejuvenation treatment. This approach uses hybrid fractional laser technology to stimulate renewed tissue growth in your vaginal walls.
DiVa is an in-office procedure only requiring topical anesthesia. During sessions, the diVa device directs two laser wavelengths into your vaginal tissues. One resurfaces the tissue in your vaginal walls, while the other creates gentle heat that stimulates new collagen production.
Your vaginal walls become thicker and tighter as your body rebuilds these tissues. Natural lubrication can increase over time. Some women also report improvements in urinary incontinence as a result of diVa treatment.
If you’re ready to take action to enhance your sexual health, we are here to partner with you to help you find the right approach. Come in for a one-on-one consultation to discuss how treatments like the O-Shot or diVa can help you regain your confidence and enjoyment in the bedroom.
