We use Botox to rejuvenate our skin and lasers to hinder the growth of body hair, but why don’t we normally give our lady parts the same attention? Because essentially, there are times when vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, or stress incontinence may affect our health and well-being down there. Then what do you do? Well, Dr. Adrienne Lara, MD, believes women deserve options. Indeed, she and her team at Celebrating Women Center in Oxnard, California, might be able to assist you with your needs using FemiLift™, a laser treatment that may help rejuvenate your vaginal tissue to ease your discomfort and symptoms.
For reference, a FemiLift is a laser tool that Dr. Lara uses to improve vaginal health. This minimally invasive laser works by using CO2 to stimulate the vaginal tissue and the body’s ability to regenerate the production of collagen, which is a protein found in vaginal tissue that provides strength, elasticity, and lubrication. Ultimately, the goal is to help rejuvenate and tighten the vaginal tissue.
For this reason, FemiLift is equipped with pixel CO2 fractional pulsed light technology that acts as both a skin tightening and resurfacing tool. Dr. Lara uses FemiLift both internally and externally. External non-ablative Co2 laser on the vulvar (the outer lips) will cause stimulation of tissue and blood vessels resulting in a lifted appearance and enhanced sensitivity.
In fact, the FemiLift laser may help relieve several vaginal symptoms that many women experience due to hormonal changes caused by menopause. For instance, Dr. Lara may suggest FemiLift treatment for the following symptoms:
● Vaginal dryness
● Painful intercourse
● Stress incontinence
● Recurrent infections

For external use, the nonablative painless laser can lift and tighten the labia — ultimately restoring the vagina to its pre-baby condition!
It’s important to note that these treatments aren’t limited to a certain age group of women. Dr. Lara’s youngest patient is 25 years old and her oldest is 73. The 27-year-old patient plans on having five children and wants to undergo a FemiLift procedure after each baby to increase “tightness.” So despite the varying ages of FemiLift candidates, the goal remains the same.
And don’t feel apprehensive just yet! Treatment with FemiLift is a painless procedure that takes about 15 minutes. As the laser energy works on your vaginal tissue, it gently stimulates the skin and causes it to contract while simultaneously stimulating the growth of collagen to create new, younger vaginal tissue. There’s no downtime after treatment with FemiLift, so you can go right back to your usual activities once you’re done.
Of course, fabulous transformations don’t just happen overnight. After your first treatment with FemiLift, you may notice a significant difference in your vaginal symptoms, but Dr. Lara recommends three treatments over a three-month period to achieve the best results. And to maintain vaginal health, Dr. Lara recommends annual touch-ups.
When it comes to sexual wellness specifically for women, Dr. Lara believes in authenticity and integrity. She loves the joy she can bring to her patients by offering advanced treatments to help improve health, including laser treatment with FemiLift.
