Treating vaginal complaints with the FemiLift CO2 laser

Hormonal changes during the menopause cause changes in the mucous membranes and connective tissue around the vagina. As a result, the vaginal skin becomes thinner, drier and more sensitive. This is also known as vulvovaginal atrophy. Around 40% of women develop symptoms of vaginal atrophy after the menopause. These changes reduce the elasticity and firmness of the vagina, making it more susceptible to vaginal infections, drier and less able to become moist during intercourse. Over the years, the vagina and vaginal opening also become narrower. These changes can lead to discomfort, bleeding and pain during intercourse.

Restoring the vaginal wall

A vaginal laser treatment (fractional CO2 laser) can restore the vaginal wall. The laser stimulates the vaginal mucous membranes, firming the vagina, improving blood flow and rejuvenating the vaginal lining. This restores the vagina’s elasticity and makes it easier to become moist, improving sexual sensitivity. Firming the vaginal wall can also reduce any urinary leakage (mild stress incontinence).

Who is the treatment suitable for?

1

The treatment is suitable for all women with vaginal complaints and pain during intercourse after the menopause.
2

Women who have been treated for conditions such as breast cancer, and who have entered the menopause early as a result, can safely undergo this treatment.

The treatment

The treatment takes place at the outpatient clinic and is painless. Anaesthetic is not needed. Usually 3 treatments are required, each 4 to 6 weeks apart. After that, one treatment a year is needed to maintain the effect.

The laser beam penetrates around 0.5 mm into the vaginal skin, deep enough to reach the layer where new collagen is formed, but not so deep that other organs could be affected.

Elsewhere in the world, there is already considerable experience with vaginal laser treatment, and several scientific publications discuss how the laser works. In dermatology, the fractional CO2 laser has been used for years to rejuvenate facial skin.

Hygiene

Willeke Kamphof has chosen to use the FemiLift laser. This laser uses a sleeve that is placed over the probe. This sleeve becomes the patient’s own property and can be reused at every treatment, ensuring optimal hygiene.

After the treatment

You can resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment. It is advisable to avoid intercourse for up to 3 days afterwards. The risks are minimal, and no complications have been reported.

Results

Most women notice a clear improvement after the very first treatment.

Published literature shows that in 80 to 90% of women, symptoms of burning, dryness and pain during intercourse disappear entirely or almost entirely. Among women with mild urine leakage, 80 to 85% notice a reduction in symptoms, or find that their symptoms disappear completely.

“I was very apprehensive about the Femilift treatment for stress incontinence, but it turned out to be far better than expected, barely uncomfortable, and the doctor's approach was very reassuring. I have now had two treatments and am already seeing very good results.”

Wendy - September 2019Great treatment

“Willeke is friendly, honest and to the point, excellent! The treatment meets expectations. Definitely recommended!”

“Femilift for stress incontinence. Symptom free after 3 treatments. Really excellent! I never expected such an easy treatment could achieve such results.”

D - January 2019Experience with Femilift for stress incontinence

“Willeke charges a fair price for a Femilift treatment. I have now had a follow-up treatment, and after a long time I can say the Femilift has improved my incontinence to the point where I don't want surgery, at least not yet. I trust the Femilift more than having a synthetic sling fitted inside my body. I still can't run, but I can get through daily activities much more comfortably, without leaking, thanks to the Femilift. The claim that the treatment is pain free, made by the manufacturer, isn't quite accurate. It also depends on the numbing spray you can ask for. This time there wasn't enough time between applying the spray, which also didn't numb very deeply, and the treatment itself, so it was more painful than previous times. It would be worth taking more time so the anaesthetic can work properly.”

Anonymous - July 2020Femilift has been worth it for me. Symptoms haven't disappeared 100%, but have improved significantly.

“Wonderful. Also for younger women who have given birth. For me it was a genuinely quick solution to my problem. I had mild urine leakage, especially with a hard sneeze, but also with things like jumping on a trampoline. I always had to bear my symptoms in mind. I definitely recommend it. A great, quick solution.”

Danielle - November 2018Experience with Femilift for urine leakage

“Incontinent for 10 years. And now, after 2 treatments, I no longer need a pad for normal everyday activities. A very positive breakthrough for me personally. I was very sceptical and cautious, but after a lot of googling (there's a lot of information about Femilift on American websites) I took the step, and I really wonder why this treatment is still so little known. Several gynaecologists could see no other solution for me than a TVT sling, but I don't want a synthetic sling inside my body, I've heard too many unpleasant stories about them. And recovery after surgery takes a long time. I'm going for a 3rd treatment soon. Although coughing and sneezing are already 'dry' now, I still need to wait a few weeks for the final result, since things keep improving in the first weeks after treatment. After the 1st treatment it took 2 weeks before I really started to notice the first results. I'm genuinely amazed by the impact and the results. I don't expect a 100% dry result, but my everyday activities no longer cause me to leak urine. I can bend down, make beds, carry shopping bags, make bigger movements and walk a bit faster again, jog gently to catch the train without leaking. (Running is still not possible.) But hey, this has already been well worth it for me!! The treatment is manageable. Ask for some numbing cream, it helps!! Afterwards you have some discharge for a while (a week after the first time, a bit shorter after the second treatment). My incontinence wasn't mild, I leaked urine during everyday activities, not just with sport or coughing. Because of that I didn't have much hope. But for me, surgery is now definitely off the table!!”

“I found the treatment by Willeke Kamphof to be very professional and friendly. Highly recommended.”

Anonymous - September 2018Very professional and very friendly

“Because I had urine leakage, I would have needed surgery that would have kept me out of action for 6 weeks. Why doesn't a single GP know that 3 laser treatments (painless) can also solve this?!!”

Marjella - August 2018Review of Femilift for urine leakage

“I had read about this treatment in Linda magazine. I specifically had the treatment to improve the quality of my sex life. My vagina had become very loose after the birth of my children. The treatment gave me really good results. My vagina feels tighter and is much more sensitive during sex.”

Linda - August 2018Experience with Femilift

“The heavy feeling already improved after just 1 session. Cycling and walking are much more comfortable. Hoping it lasts.”

Loes - January 2019Experience with Femilift

“Very customer friendly, knowledgeable, and I was seen quickly. The coronavirus measures are being properly implemented at the practice.”

Anonymous - July 2020Excellent

“Willeke is very knowledgeable and friendly, gave a clear explanation and carried out the treatment very carefully, pausing whenever it became a little too uncomfortable. The whole treatment took around 15 minutes. The result after just 1 treatment is already really fantastic. No more burning after sex, more lubrication, a better feeling overall. I wish I'd done it years ago. I've recently had the second treatment too, which was barely uncomfortable at all. I'm very pleased.”

“Willeke is a true professional. What I appreciate is her honesty and the way she puts you at ease.”

Anonymous - November 2019Review of Femilift

“Even though the phone isn't always answered in person straight away, you're always called back as soon as possible. The same goes for texts and emails, as soon as possible. She clearly knows her subject and it shows. Customer friendliness gets a 10, you always feel welcome. During the treatment you're monitored to see how you're coping and whether you can continue. Your comfort is taken into account. A bit of distracting chat, and it actually works. Excellent. There's a clear explanation and the chance to ask questions. The personal service is excellent; if you explain your personal or financial situation, she tries to work something out together with you, and offers any suitable options. In short, brilliant!!! Genuinely recommended on every level. I hope you keep doing this for a long time, Willeke.”

“The treatment is manageable but not painless. Fortunately it's a short treatment. A painkiller beforehand is recommended. I already had good results after just 1 treatment!”

“I'm very pleased with the Femilift treatment by Willeke Kamphof. After 2 sessions the urine leakage had gone, and I can jump again without leaking. Willeke is knowledgeable and knows how to help you relax, before you know it, it's over. The treatment is painless and comes highly recommended!”
