As you go through the stages of life, your body experiences changes that can affect your sexual health, including your genital and pelvic floor health. These changes are often related to aging, childbirth, menopause and other factors, and they can lead to issues like sexual dysfunction, pain and urinary incontinence for both men and women.
At AC Wellness, we recognize that these changes are physical but that they also impact your mental health and well-being. Therefore, we offer sexual health treatments to enhance your overall wellness and quality of life.
Sexual health encompasses various aspects of well-being related to the reproductive and urinary systems as well as sexual function. As such, our sexual health treatments are designed to address concerns related to the functional aspects of your sexual and urological health. By restoring the functionality of your sexual organs and pelvic floor muscles, these treatments can enhance your physical comfort during sexual activity and improve your bladder control, boosting your emotional well-being, confidence and intimacy with your partner.
At AC Wellness, we offer three cutting-edge sexual health treatments: diVa laser, sexual wellness injection (including PRP injections), and the EMSELLA chair.
The diVa laser is a cutting-edge treatment that’s become a game-changer in women’s gynecological health. Utilizing advanced hybrid fractional laser technology, it combines two laser wavelengths to deliver both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths at the same time, enabling precise, controlled treatments.
The diVa laser can treat various symptoms of vaginal atrophy, often experienced after childbirth or during menopause, including:
In addressing these concerns, diVa treatment treats vaginal tissues, improving the tone, elasticity, moisture and blood flow of the vagina.
DiVa’s laser energy creates tiny areas of controlled damage in the vaginal tissue. This might sound alarming, but it’s a common and safe therapeutic technique. The body’s natural healing response to this ‘damage’ is to produce more collagen, a protein that’s key to the structural integrity and elasticity of the skin and other tissues. As new collagen and elastin are produced, the vaginal tissue gradually remodels and tightens. The DiVa laser also affects the cells in the vagina to improve vaginal dryness.
The intensity and depth of the diVa laser can be adjusted, allowing for personalized treatments tailored to your age and specific concerns. This customization provides effective treatments for a range of vaginal health concerns with maximum efficiency and safety.
The diVa treatment is a quick, in-office procedure that takes less than five minutes without the need for sedation or anesthesia. The specialized laser device is inserted into the vagina to comfortably deliver controlled thermal energy to the vaginal walls, stimulating collagen production.
We typically recommend three sessions, each spaced about four to six weeks apart. This schedule allows the vaginal tissue to respond to the laser treatment and start the rejuvenation process before the next session.
After a diVa treatment, there is minimal downtime. You might experience slight discomfort immediately after the procedure, but you can resume your normal activities within a day. However, we recommend you avoid sexual intercourse for about 48 to 72 hours following your diVa treatment. This brief period allows the treated area to begin healing and reduces the risk of irritation or infection.
At AC Wellness, we will give you specific aftercare instructions, which are essential to follow for a smooth recovery and ideal results.
Many patients begin to notice results within a few weeks of their first diVa laser treatment, with improvements continuing to develop over the next few months. The exact timeline of results can vary depending on your specific concerns, current vaginal health and how your body responds to the treatment. Some patients may require additional treatments to achieve their desired results.
Results from diVa can last for a year or more. After your initial treatment series, maintenance sessions may be recommended annually or as needed to sustain optimal results.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a natural approach to vaginal wellness, harnessing the healing and regenerative properties of your own blood. This innovative treatment utilizes a concentration of platelets derived from your blood to stimulate cellular repair and growth in the vaginal area.
PRP therapy can effectively address a range of vaginal health concerns, including:
In treating these issues, PRP therapy contributes to an overall improvement in sexual health.
PRP therapy begins by extracting a small sample of your blood. This sample is then processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. The resulting PRP is injected into specific areas of the vagina. These growth factors initiate a natural healing process, promoting tissue regeneration, increasing blood flow and enhancing cellular renewal.
Each PRP session is tailored to your individual needs, focusing on areas that require rejuvenation. This personalized approach allows PRP injections to effectively address your specific concerns, such as improving natural lubrication and/or enhancing sensitivity.
PRP therapy is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure. It requires no general anesthesia, and the entire process, including blood draw, preparation of PRP and the injections, typically takes less than an hour.
The number of PRP therapy sessions required can vary depending on your individual goals and body’s response to treatment. Typically, a series of two to three treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for the best results.
One of the advantages of PRP therapy is its minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, we advise most patients to avoid sexual activity for a short period following the procedure.
Improvements with PRP therapy can be noticed gradually as the body’s natural healing processes take place. You may start seeing changes within a few weeks, with continuous improvement over several months.
The longevity of results from PRP therapy can vary, but many patients experience the benefits for a year or more. To maintain these results, periodic follow-up treatments may be suggested.
EMSELLA is a noninvasive treatment designed to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles to address urinary issues and, in some cases, improve sexual function. These muscles are vital in controlling bladder and bowel function as well as contributing to sexual health.
EMSELLA is primarily used to address urinary incontinence in women and urgency in men. It can also provide other benefits, such as improved sexual function.
EMSELLA works by using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology. The device emits electromagnetic energy, similar to what you might find in an MRI machine. This energy penetrates the targeted tissue without the need for direct skin contact. The electromagnetic waves create rapid and intense muscle contractions in the pelvic floor. These contractions are much more powerful and frequent than what you could achieve through typical exercises like Kegels.
Over time and with repeated sessions, these contractions help to strengthen and tighten the pelvic floor muscles. This can lead to improved bladder control and reduced symptoms of urinary incontinence and urgency.
EMSELLA is a noninvasive treatment, meaning no incisions or anesthesia are required. You remain fully clothed during the treatment and can sit comfortably on the EMSELLA chair. Sessions are typically quick (about 30 minutes) and painless.
We typically recommend a series of six to eight EMSELLA sessions performed once or twice weekly.
There’s no downtime with EMSELLA. You can return to your daily activities immediately after each session, including sexual intercourse if you feel comfortable.
Generally, patients may notice improvements after a few treatment sessions, with more significant results observed a few weeks after completing the entire treatment course.
The longevity of your results can vary, but they often last for several months. We may recommend follow-up sessions as needed to maintain the results of your initial EMSELLA treatment series.
The cost of EMSELLA, PRP and diVa treatments varies based on individual needs and the number of sessions. We offer transparent pricing and will discuss all costs during your consultation.
