Alma FemiLift Laser Treatment

The female body undergoes changes throughout life. Over time, the skin loses elasticity. After childbirth, symptoms such as involuntary urine leakage, vaginal laxity and dryness, reduced sexual sensation, or recurrent vaginal infections may occur. FemiLift offers a modern, minimally invasive, and outpatient solution for many of these issues using CO₂ laser technology.

Which Conditions Can FemiLift Treat?

FemiLift is an innovative, minimally invasive, outpatient, and highly effective CO₂ laser therapy. It is particularly beneficial for women postpartum or in menopause who experience the following symptoms:

• Vaginal dryness
• Stress urinary incontinence (Grade 1)
• Urogenital menopause syndrome
• Vaginal aging and atrophy
• Reduced sexual sensation
• Recurrent infections

A Woman & Health Patient Shares Her Experience with FemiLift

After giving birth to two daughters (the last one six years ago), I began to notice bladder weakness developing into stress incontinence. Any physical exertion or even sneezing caused urine leakage. As a young woman, I wasn’t willing to rely on panty liners outside of my period.

I looked for a good, non-invasive treatment and found FemiLift. My gynecologist, Dr. Tamaa, who also delivered my children, explained the procedure and that it required three sessions at monthly intervals.

After the second treatment, I noticed significant improvement. My vaginal firmness also improved, which was a welcome benefit for intimacy. The treatment itself was not painful. After the second session, I experienced some mild burning and sensitivity for a few days, but it was manageable.

I highly recommend FemiLift. I wouldn’t have the time or desire for a surgical procedure to improve firmness and stability. I plan to repeat the treatment in a year if necessary. FemiLift isn’t cheap, but a hospital stay would be far more expensive.

Vaginal Tightening with FemiLift

While childbirth is a wonderful experience, it can lead to stretching or lasting damage to the connective tissue structures of the pelvic floor. Even if many women don’t notice any subjective changes, others may feel there’s “too much space” in the vagina or that intimacy is no longer as fulfilling.

Muscle tension, skin changes, vaginal infections, or hormonal imbalances can also impact sexual satisfaction. Urogynecological specialists assess each case to determine the causes and recommend the most promising treatments.

For complex issues or severe pelvic floor damage, combined therapies such as physiotherapy, pessary use, biofeedback, medication, or even psychological support may be necessary. In some cases, surgical correction of the vagina or pelvic floor may be required. Scientific studies have shown that pelvic floor therapy led by a specialist physiotherapist can have a significantly positive effect on sexual satisfaction.

Laser Treatments: A New Approach to Vaginal Tightening

In recent years, laser treatments for the vagina have brought significant satisfaction to many women.

The powerful thermal effect of a CO₂ laser, combined with micro-ablation at various tissue depths, stimulates collagen renewal and tightens existing elastic fibers. It has also been shown to improve blood flow, which enhances vaginal moisture and elasticity.

Many women report experiencing increased sensitivity during intercourse and a more fulfilling sexual life after laser treatments.

Effectively Treating Stress Incontinence with FemiLift

Do you cross your legs when you sneeze? Stress incontinence, also known as stress urinary incontinence, occurs when physical activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising lead to urine leakage. It is a common and widespread issue that is often difficult to talk about but can significantly impact quality of life.

Stress incontinence results from a loss of urethral stability and continence mechanisms, often due to pelvic floor damage. The risk increases after pregnancy, with obesity, chronic coughing, heavy physical labor, and aging.

FemiLift delivers deep thermal energy into the tissue, stimulating collagen renewal. The long pulses of the CO₂ laser enable high thermal efficacy, offering an advantage over comparable procedures.

For mild forms of stress incontinence, FemiLift provides a non-surgical yet effective therapy option that is minimally invasive, low in discomfort, and requires no downtime.

Reducing Vaginal Dryness After Menopause with FemiLift

The urogenital menopause syndrome is a growing global concern. According to estimates by the North American Menopause Society, by 2025, the number of postmenopausal women worldwide will reach approximately 1.1 billion, with nearly half experiencing vulvovaginal symptoms such as discomfort in the vaginal opening and vagina.

Hormonal changes during menopause can lead to increasing dryness and irritation in the vaginal area. These symptoms may include unpleasant itching or burning sensations, often without infections or other identifiable causes.

Women who have had breast cancer are particularly affected, as local hormone therapy may negatively influence their condition. For women who decline hormone treatments for other reasons, laser therapy offers a solution by alleviating discomfort such as itching, burning, and tension while also restoring sexual satisfaction.

How Does FemiLift Work?

FemiLift utilizes cutting-edge technology. The CO₂ laser delivers powerful thermal energy and micro-ablation, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.

Additionally, it promotes the formation of new blood vessels, improving vaginal moisture. These regenerative effects rejuvenate the submucosal connective tissue and mucosa, reducing symptoms and lowering the risk of infections.
