Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence, or the inability to control bladder function, is a common issue for many people, especially women. It can happen due to childbirth, aging, or other factors that weaken the muscles or tissues around the bladder. At Enhanced Beauty we use the FemiLift, a non-invasive, laser-based therapy that can help improve bladder control.

FemiLift is a type of fractional CO2 laser treatment. This means it uses a special type of laser that delivers tiny, controlled beams of light to the vaginal walls, specifically targeting the tissues that support the bladder and urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body).

The FemiLift laser works by stimulating the tissues inside the vagina to promote healing and regeneration. Here's how it helps:

1. Strengthens the Tissues: The laser energy creates tiny, micro-injuries in the tissue, which then stimulates the production of collagen (a protein that makes tissue stronger and more elastic). This helps tighten and strengthen the vaginal walls and the muscles around the bladder.

2. Improves Blood Flow: The laser also encourages better blood circulation in the area, which can improve the health of the tissues that support the bladder and urethra. When these tissues are healthier, they can perform better and help control urinary function.

3. Restores Function: Over time, the treated tissues regenerate, becoming firmer and more supportive. This can help improve the strength of the muscles that control urination, reducing symptoms of incontinence like leaks or frequent urges.

FemiLift is a quick, non-surgical procedure. Here’s what usually happens:

• A special device is used to deliver the laser energy to the vaginal walls. The procedure is usually painless, though some women may feel mild warmth or pressure.

• Each session typically takes about 15-30 minutes, and there’s no downtime. Most women can resume normal activities right away.

FemiLift is generally used for women who experience stress urinary incontinence (leaking when coughing, sneezing, or laughing) or urinary urgency (feeling the need to urinate urgently or frequently). It can also help improve vaginal tone and moisture, which can be beneficial for women experiencing these issues after childbirth or menopause. Many women see improvements after just one or two sessions, but it’s recommended to get 3-4 treatments for optimal results. Typically, the effects of FemiLift improve over time, as the tissues continue to regenerate. Most women experience noticeable benefits, such as less frequent or less severe leakage, stronger bladder control, and improved confidence.
