Vaginoplasty in Michigan
Contact Dr. Berenholz
Who is a good candidate?
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that tightens vaginal muscles. Women who benefit from this procedure include women who have had multiple childbirths. With each child, vaginal muscles tend to become enlarged due to expansion of the muscles during delivery. For some women, this can cause vaginal muscles to become weak or loose. It can be difficult to tighten the muscles through means other than surgery. While many physicians recommend Kegel exercises, they do not always result in the change women seek.
Historical Perspective
Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation
Non-invasive Vaginal Rejuvenation
Non-invasive vaginal rejuvenation procedures have gained popularity as an alternative to surgery. These procedures are suitable for women who seek vaginal enhancement without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery. Key non-invasive techniques include:
Laser Therapy: fractional laser treatments, such as CO2 or erbium laser, stimulate collagen production and improve vaginal tightness. This can lead to increased vaginal sensation and better lubrication. It can also contribute for the control of urinary incontinence.
Radiofrequency Therapy: Radio frequency devices like Thermiva or Viveve or EmFemme 360 use controlled radio frequency thermal energy to tighten vaginal tissues and stimulate collagen production these treatments are painless and require no downtime. Some clinicians feel that this modality is safer for the patient with regard to burning or accidental scarring versus laser. Dr. Berenholz has had experience with most of these modalities. He currently uses EmFemme 360 and has lectured nationally to many physicians on the value of the new technology.
Platelet-Rich Plasma{PRP}: PRP injections involve using the patients own platelet rich plasma to stimulate tissue regeneration and improve blood flow which can enhance sensitivity and sexual satisfaction.
Kegel Exercises: while not a medical procedure, kegel exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, leading to improved vaginal tone and increased sensation. Unfortunately, many patients have difficulty performing efficient kegel maneuvers and find that there is only a limited amount of improvement when depending solely on kegel exercises.
