I have two kids. My second baby, who weighed almost nine pounds, really did a number on me. Since I’ve had him (18 months ago) things haven’t been the same down there.
A few months ago I started researching my options. I read reviews about vaginal rejuvenation and V-lifts (facelifts for your vagina) but they all involved surgery, painful recovery and significant downtime. So I put my search on hold. I didn’t have time for all that.
Then I met Dr. Jason Emmer one night at a charity event. He specializes in body work (lipo, sculpting, etc) and I told him about my problem. He had a solution for me – the BTL Ultra Femme treatment. According to Dr. Emer, the procedure was painless, quick, and the results were immediate. I was very intrigued, but also skeptical. Could this really be the answer?
I received an email from Dr. Emer the next day he invited me to his office in Beverly Hills for a consultation. Apparently the BTL treatment works on all parts of the body, I quickly pulled my shirt off to reveal my little stomach pouch from having two kids (and drinking excessive amounts of Sangria on the occasional girls night out). He said I was the perfect candidate and we scheduled my first appointment for the following week.
The treatment
The Ultra Femme 360 is a radiofrequency treatment that targets two different areas, the labia and the vaginal canal (basically inside and outside). The focused heat energy disrupts the collagen fibers, causing them to unwind and produce new collagen fibers and stimulate blood flow, which in turn restores the vaginal and vulvar areas to a more youthful state. Ultra Femme claims to tighten and lift the labia, reduce the diameter of the vaginal opening and canal, and improve natural feel and lubrication.
Admittedly I was worried. Would it work? Was it painful? I climbed into bed, had a pap smear and the nurse got to work.
Results
Phase 1 consists of inserting the disposable tip into the vagina. The nurse then moves the tip in and out (with the help of lots of gel) while the rod is heated to a significant temperature. The heat in turn raises your internal tissues to over 104 degrees. Increased blood flow plays a key role in tissue tightening, along with radio frequency. It feels really good. I’ve heard stories of women having orgasms from the treatment – I certainly haven’t, but I can see how that would/could happen. The treatment only takes eight minutes and you’re done!
It’s next Phase 2. This is for the outside of the bay. The nurse did one side and gave me a mirror to compare. WOW. It really was like a mini facelift for my vagina. This part lasts about six minutes as the nurse moves the wand clockwise. Also again – completely painless.
In less than 15 minutes we were done. I couldn’t believe there was no pain, but would it work? There was only one way to test the results…
The next day I had sex with my husband. I noticed it right away (and I think she did too). My vagina was much tighter than before and the sensation was much greater. It was then that I knew I had discovered something truly special. I had to tell people, especially my moms. I mean, there are so many kegels you can do!
Fast forward a month later and I have just finished my third and final treatment. I have noticed about a 50-60 percent increase in the tightness in my vagina. I know, crazy right? I also had to get rid of all my regular size tampons. I’m a frugal girl now 😉
The treatment is recommended once a year for maintenance, which I will definitely continue to do. I focus so much on my face and body but seem to forget what’s below the belt. In my experience, this is the most effective non-invasive option for vaginal tightening and rejuvenation.
I also did the treatment on my stomach. It felt like a hot stone massage – very relaxing – and only took 10 minutes. Once again no pain or downtime. I lost an inch of fat from my waist after just three sessions.
