Dr. Leita Harris has been delivering health care to women in the Inland Empire in California since 1990. Harris started Nurturing You Women’s Health & Wellness in June of 2015 after 25 years of practicing in multi-specialty groups, with the first 15 years was a full scope OB/GYN practice. Throughout her career, Dr. Harris has found the need to re-examine ‘medicine’ and the methods with which she was practicing. In 2008, Dr. Harris transitioned into a role that allowed her to see only GYN clinic patients and her use of bio-identical hormones in practice began to blossom as she continued at this practice until 2015, at which time she founded Nurturing You. Throughout her research and studies, Dr. Harris has also learned how to manage male hormone patients so that she can leave her female patients feeling great, and their partners as well. For Dr. Harris, the best part of her day is seeing someone experience tremendous life-changing benefits, especially after they have been ignored or neglected truly exceptional care.
Haute Beauty expert Dr. Leita Harris discusses if the intimate wellness vaginal laser procedure is right for you.
Our bodies are heavily affected by age, both internally and externally. Throughout puberty, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause, our female reproductive system changes significantly, causing us to experience unenjoyable symptoms, all of which can have an impact on our sexual wellness and overall vaginal health. These changes that our bodies undergo are unavoidable therefore understanding the many options that are available to provide us with a solution can be life-changing.
One option is using energy-based treatments for vaginal rejuvenation. This minimally invasive procedure can be the solution to no longer having to live with painful intercourse, bladder leakage, or poor vaginal support.
How does the vaginal laser procedure work?
A vaginal laser procedure is a painless, minimally invasive, non-surgical office procedure. The cutting-edge technology behind the laser uses third-generation CO2 fractional laser energy.
Vaginal rejuvenation involves inserting a probe into your vaginal canal and gently positioning it at multiple points. The probe sends waves of CO2 fractional laser energy deep into delicate tissue. This short process promotes the remodeling of your mucosal epithelium tissue layer. As tissues remodel with new nerves, collagen, and vessels, they become tighter and naturally lubricated as new vaginal tissue starts to form.
Who is an ideal candidate for a vaginal laser procedure?
Hormonal changes of menopause, a drop in estrogen after childbirth, and treatment for breast cancer are all things that women can encounter throughout their lifetimes. If you are experiencing urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency caused by poor vaginal support and/or hormonal decline, a vaginal laser procedure may be right for you.
Vaginal revitalization with a laser can lessen the effects of many types of issues or insecurities you may have about your vaginal health or solve age-related problems. This revolutionary treatment can improve:
- Vaginal laxity
- Vaginal dryness
- Painful intercourse
- Bladder leakage
- Sagging labial skin
- Lichen Sclerosis
Since the intimate wellness procedure helps improve the health of tissues in and around your vagina, any sexual dysfunction problems related to that should resolve over time. During your vaginal revitalization consultation, Dr. Harris discusses your concerns and personalizes your treatment package to your specific needs.
What are the benefits of a laser vaginal rejuvenation procedure?
- Minimally invasive
- Not a lengthy procedure
- Minimal post-treatment care
- No downtime*
- No limitations if you had previous operations, breastfeeding, etc.
- Ideal for women who CANNOT use hormones (cancer survivors)
- No side effects, ONLY benefits.
- Improved sex life
*The only activity that you must steer clear of for three days post-procedure is sexual intercourse – giving your vagina time to heal.
What results should I expect?
It’s common to start noticing an improvement in your vaginal wellness within the first week after your first session. A series of three treatments, each spaced roughly one month apart, is recommended with four treatments for any urinary symptom.
Since you’re going to continue to age and you may have vaginal wellness issues arise again in the future, Dr. Harris often recommends scheduling regular treatments once a year. This helps you stay one step ahead of any future vaginal atrophy issues and prevent future problems.
Is vaginal laser procedure painful to undergo?
No, the treatment is 7-minutes long and painless. The time frame can be extended but is dependent on if the internal (vaginal) treatment is combined with external (labia) treatment. If so, then it is slightly longer, but still, no pain is involved.
Again, there are options to improve vaginal health but for the woman who desires a non-surgical, non-hormonal remedy, vaginal laser is a great option.
