(HealthNewsDigest.com) – You went for a run and came back with wet pants. You have to wear thick pads before you go out. When you sneeze, a little bit comes out. Sound familiar? If you have incontinence, you know how embarrassing and uncomfortable it can be.
You and the other 18 million women who suffer do. In fact, one in four women over age 18 experience episodes of leaking urine involuntarily, according to the National Association for Continence. Most women first notice the leakage after they’ve given birth, called stress incontinence (when physical activity puts pressure on the bladder, causing leakage), though it can happen with aging.
While lifestyle changes, like losing weight, can help, one of the most effective therapies is the new FemiLiftTM, offered by Bruce Katz, MD, board certified dermatologist and Director of the Juva Skin & Laser Center in New York. He is also Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Icahn School of Medicine and Director of the Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center at Mount Sinai Hospital.
FemiLift is a 15-minute, non-invasive therapy where the wand is inserted into the vagina to deliver fractional laser energy to tighten the vagina and improve lubrication. There is no downtime, minimal risk of side effects, and patient satisfaction is high.
“This treatment is ideal for a woman who wants a mommy makeover or is post-menopausal,” says Dr. Katz. “Just like we have fractional laser energy to help stimulate collagen on the face in the traditional way, we can use this same energy on other areas of the body. FemiLift stimulates the collagen in the vagina to help tighten the skin and muscles,” says Dr. Katz.
Better yet: You get your self-esteem back. It’s a far better alternative to stocking pads in your purse, walking around with wet pants or wearing a vaginal device called a Pessary.
Treatment costs $975 per session, with three sessions spaced one month apart required. Dr Bruce Katz is @ www.juvaskin.com
