The treatment, which takes five minutes or less, can be very helpful for improvement of stress incontinence, improvement of sexual satisfaction, and for the treatment of lichen sclerosis and its symptoms.

FemTouch Vaginal Rejuvenation FAQs

  • How does FemTouch vaginal rejuvenation work?

    FemTouch uses a fractional CO2 laser along the vaginal wall, resulting in regeneration of the tissue and promoting vaginal tightening. This promotes the remodeling of the vaginal mucosal layer to restore a healthier and more youthful vaginal wall. FemTouch has the ability to restore vaginal tissue while improving vaginal health. It makes the tissue thicker, increases natural lubrication, enhances sexual pleasure and tightness, increases elasticity, and can decrease urinary incontinence.

  • What is FemTouch vaginal rejuvenation treatment like?

    During the procedure, the sterilized applicator is moved along the vaginal wall in an outward motion, applying the laser in a 360-degree pattern covering the entire area. The procedure should take a few minutes. You may experience a minor heat sensation during the treatment, but it is very gentle, and you should not feel uncomfortable. The FemTouch treatment is performed by a female on our highly trained medical aesthetics care team.

  • When will I see results following a FemTouch vaginal rejuvenation treatment?

    In clinical trials, women reported feeling improvement after 1-2 treatment sessions. Typically, 2-4 treatments are needed to see optimal results and achieve the desired outcome on the vaginal layer.

  • What can I expect following a FemTouch vaginal rejuvenation treatment?

    Immediately after treatment, you may feel a very mild heat sensation. One of our clinicians can provide a hydrating gel. This sensation should not last longer than a few hours.

  • Do I need a Pap smear to have a FemTouch vaginal rejuvenation treatment?

    Before the treatment can be performed, we will need a copy of your most recent PAP smear report within the last two years, which we should be able to obtain through our electronic medical record (EMR). Also, a quick physical pre-exam will be provided by one of our qualified female medical aesthetic doctors or aestheticians. This pre-exam will assess your vaginal health to ensure you are a good candidate for the treatment.
