Lisa is Happy Again

optiweb — Mon, 13 May 2019 08:48:18 +0000

Lisa always wanted a big family. She had three vaginal births during a six year period, the third being twins. Her dream was fulfilled. For some time she was so overwhelmed with caring for the kids, nursing, feeding, playing and running after toddlers that her sexuality was pushed aside. Luckily, after a while she had more free time and her libido returned. To her disappointment, the sex just did not feel the same. She felt that her vagina had widened due to the deliveries and hadn’t really gone back to the previous state. She still enjoyed having sex, but wished she could get the old feeling back. She heard about the IntimaLase^® vaginal rejuvenation and tightening treatment from a friend, who couldn’t recommend it enough. Although quite skeptical, she made an appointment with her friend’s doctor.

The treatment was short and painless. She only felt some warmth and tingling. After avoiding sex for a couple of weeks as instructed, the first time after IntimaLase^® already felt much better than before. Her husband felt the difference too. She felt more confident and satisfied. Lisa decided to have another two treatments, one month apart each, as the doctor said that three consecutive treatment sessions would deliver the best results. The results were phenomenal, much better than she ever hoped for. She enjoyed sex to the fullest again and regained her confidence, which made the biggest difference of all.

Nicki’s Story About Her Winning a Battle

optiweb — Mon, 13 May 2019 08:47:52 +0000

Nicki’s life was turned upside-down when she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 35. All her other plans and activities stopped and for a year and a half and there was only one priority – to go through all the therapies, heal and survive disease-free. Luckily, her type of cancer was hormone-sensitive, which gave her a lower chance of relapse, as long as she took estrogen-blocking medicine. Although the estrogen-blockers were life-saving, they meant that she was effectively in menopause at the age of 36. She soon began to experience vaginal dryness and itching, sex became painful and uncomfortable. She used lubricative gels but they were a hassle to constantly apply. Her gynecologist recommended a local estrogen cream that was safe for cancer survivors, but she was afraid to use it out of fear that there is even the tiniest chance that her cancer would relapse.

While attending a conference, Nicki’s gynecologist heard about and recommended to Nicki a new treatment that has shown great clinical results in menopausal patients. The treatment was called RenovaLase^® and involved a laser procedure that worked by stimulating the renewal and regeneration of the vaginal mucous tissue. It was hormone-free, so she was very eager to try the procedure. Her gynecologist recommended a doctor who had done a clinical study on RenovaLase^® for improving the symptoms of vaginal atrophy (genitourinary syndrome of menopause) in menopausal women. She had a couple of treatments at the hospital. She has already started noticing subtle changes a couple of weeks after the treatment.

During the couple of months following the treatments, the feeling in her vagina has completely transformed. She didn’t feel dry and itchy and has started to have and enjoy sex again. She opted for yearly follow-up sessions of RenovaLase^® to maintain optimal results. She became a vocal supporter of the treatment, as she was convinced her experience could help so many women to regain a better quality of life.

Anna Chose Less Invasive Treatment

Anna first heard about pelvic organ prolapse when her gynecologist diagnosed her with the condition at the age of 62. She had been having troubles with pressure in her lower abdomen for a while and in the last few months felt a new bulging sensation inside her vagina. When she confided about her problem with her friends and family, she found out that two of her friends suffered from similar symptoms, but felt uncomfortable sharing it with anyone. Anna made an appointment with a specialist, who recommended a standard surgical procedure to repair the prolapse. She was terrified of surgery so she insisted to try all the non-surgical options first. She did a lot of research and talked to different people.

Besides muscle exercises and different pessaries, she found out about a new laser treatment for pelvic organ prolapse, named ProlapLase^®. She called a private gynecology clinic performing ProlapLase^® nearby and scheduled an appointment. After the initial examination, she was told she was the perfect patient for the procedure, as her moderate prolapse stage promised the best results from clinical studies. She was proposed a treatment plan of 4-6 laser sessions with 3-4 weeks between procedures. At the first session, her doctor applied local anesthetic cream for 20 minutes, then wiped it off and started with the treatment. The treatment was very gentle; her intimate areas were in physical contact only with the smooth glass speculum. After about half an hour, she was done and sent home. She felt excited and could barely wait, until in a few weeks’ time, improvement started to show. She had four more treatments, each a month apart.

Six months after the first ProlapLase® procedure, she felt almost the same as before her troubles. She slowly returned to her old active lifestyle. She was recommended follow-up controls and maintenance treatments every 12 months. Anna was happy and grateful for each active and surgery-free year she was enabled by ProlapLase^®.

Julia Started Hiking Again

Julia is a young landscape designer who gets joy and inspiration from weekend hiking trips around the nearby Alps. She has first experienced urinary incontinence in the days following the delivery of her first baby. She had trouble controlling her urinary flow and was confused and scared. Luckily, the nurses at the delivery ward consoled her and assured that the symptoms will diminish after a couple of months. And so they did. Julia happily raised her baby and decided to have another. She again faced the same problem after delivery. It lasted for a while but this time the problem persisted, and was worse at times of increased physical activity. That was especially true during her hiking trips. Some of her day-long journeys in the hills have proven very difficult and embarrassing when she needed to pause in order to change pads.

She consulted her gynecologist and while doing her own research on the topic, ran into an advertisement for the IncontiLase^® laser treatment for stress urinary incontinence. She looked for a nearby doctor performing the IncontiLase^® procedure and scheduled an appointment. The doctors performed a standard gynecological examination and confirmed that she was the right candidate for the procedure. After doing some initial tests, she was scheduled for the first treatment. The treatment was a half-hour session. The procedure was done through a smooth glass speculum, which was inserted into the vagina, and then the laser light was delivered through a handpiece that was inserted into the speculum. She felt a tingling and warm sensation, which was more pronounced in the areas closer to the outside genitals, but wasn’t painful. Afterwards, they told her that she might have some swelling and irritation for a couple of days. She was scheduled for another procedure a month after the first one. The doctor told her that the results will get better for some time and will reach full effect after about a month and a half.

She noticed a big positive change already after the first treatment – she was still using daily pads but noticed they were almost dry each time she went to the bathroom. Two months after the second treatment, she put the IncontiLase^® procedure to the test – she went for a 20 km charity hike with her friends. She felt like a new woman; there was no unwanted leakage or embarrassing pad-changing stops. As she hiked towards the mountain top, she felt happy and free.
