A real woman is sophisticated, classy, intellectual with strong morals and good manners. But did you know that woman has two faces? The one that you could see above and one hidden under. Last November 29, 2017, Dra. Annebelle Aherrera a renowned practitioner who has over 25 years of Obstetrics & Gynecology specialization in the country’s top medical institutions explains to us why we should care the other faces of woman that we often neglect, our vagina. She specializes in the “science of the most intimate makeover”, vaginal rejuvenation, a procedure that’s often dismissed as a cosmetic luxury only or for sexual pleasure purposes but vaginal rejuvenation, however, in most cases, is essential to maintain good health.

What is a vagina?

The vagina is an elastic, muscular canal with a soft, flexible lining that provides lubrication and sensation. The vagina connects the uterus to the outside world. The vulva and labia form the entrance, and the cervix of the uterus protrudes into the vagina, forming the interior end. It is also known as our sex organ and the physical feature that differentiate a female to a male person. Every woman has a different vagina. “Because a body part is deemed by others to be ‘in the normal’ range, dos not necessarily mean that the form or function is satisfactory to the ‘wearer’,” according to Goodman 2009.

Childbirth and obesity, among others, may cause damage in the pelvic regions, thereby causing health problems. As women age, changes in the vagina occur, which also impacts over-all health. These cases than may require vaginal rejuvenation.

What is Vaginal Rejuvenation and its benefits?

Vaginal Rejuvenation, the demure term for the trend around whipping your vagina back into shape. The general idea is that the vagina is restored to a more youthful state. It can help tighten, decrease dryness and decrease or eliminate stress incontinence (like from running, sneezing, coughing). There are surgical procedures and non-invasive treatments to help women have better sex, play sports and live their lives again without having to constantly geo-target a bathroom.

Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation® (LVR) is a surgical procedure that will effectively enhance the vaginal muscle tone, strength, and control. It decreases the internal and external vaginal diameters (anterior and posterior colporrhaphy) as well as builds up and strengthen the perineal body (the area immediately outside the vagina and above the anus). The result will be a pre-pregnant, post-virginal state of the vagina.

While Designer Laser Vaginoplasty® is the aesthetic surgical enhancement of the vulvar structures, labia minora, labia majora, mons pubis, perineum, and introitus. The procedure is for women who have normal sexual functions but want to feel attractive and younger vaginally. Not everyone who done vaginal rejuvenation just after for a better sex. Some have some disturbing issues that lessen their confidence. As Dr. Aherrera narrates, some of her patients are suffering from unwanted and annoying discharge or sudden pee while coughing, running or even laughing. She has also a patient in her younger years complaining of pain while wearing underpants. Dr. Aherrera said that “Caring for your face above is just like caring for your face down there. If there is an RF (Radiofrequency procedure) to tighten your face, there is always a V-Restore to help women out there.”

What is Temperature-Controlled Radiofrequency (RF) Procedure?

RF is a non-surgical, non-invasive, and pain-free solution to address Vulvovaginal laxity, Vaginal dryness, mild to the moderate urinary stress incontinence leaky bladder and the secondary benefit is the sexual and orgasmic dysfunction. RF or Thermiva is the first non-surgical and non-invasive United States FDA-approved treatment that helps revive and restore loose skin, loose vaginal wall, dry vulva and dry vagina, loose mucosa, loss of sensitivity, and fascial support. The treatment is basically a warm comfortable massage of warm heat over the genital area. Thermiva enhances tightening of the skin and stimulates new and tighter collagen remodeling. By this, there is increased blood flow to the labia and clitoris thereby increasing sensitivity and help improve orgasmic activity. As a woman, we need to realize and find or make time for our wellbeing, especially our reproductive wellness. To make this happen, Feminine Wellness Advocates embarked on a campaign to raise awareness on the holistic perspective of female wellness, with the ultimate aim of redefining the overall concept of a healthy woman. It’s time for women to face their fears, debunk the myth and know the facts about how V-Restore can benefit feminine wellness.
