Sponsored: The new laser treatment that give you your confidence back
In the past, nobody talked about it, and if they did it was in whispers. But then, “Real Housewives of New York” star Sonja Morgan lifted the taboo on vaginal rejuvenation — as she has done for so many other things — by having the procedure done on national TV.
Now, women are talking about it, and why not? With Sciton’s diVa laser treatment, the process takes only 3-5 minutes and is virtually pain free. “It’s not much different [than a regular trip to the gynecologist],” says Dr. Jessie Cheung of Cheung Dermatology & Laser Center in Willowbrook, which has been offering the treatment since April. “In fact, it’s probably better, because there is less poking around and we apply a numbing cream.”
The results can’t be beat: diVa works to improve a women’s quality of life. diVa patients comment about being able to do physical activity and play sports more comfortably; they also commonly talk about relationships, and how their husband or significant other notices a difference — all from an in-office, non-surgical treatment. In effect, it gives women their confidence back.
The secret is Sciton’s HALO dual-fractioned laser technology and the completely automated, ergonomic design of diVa. Situated inside a quartz dilator that doesn’t move during the treatment, the laser uses both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to resurface the vaginal walls and trigger healthy cellular activity.
The perfect candidates for diVa, Cheung says, are women who have given birth or are menopausal or post-menopausal. If you’re unsure if it’s right for you, fear not. “We offer a free consultation to determine if you are the right candidate, and to go over the procedure,” Cheung says. “The patients fill out a female sexual function questionnaire, and we like to see the scores improve after diVa therapy.”
Treatments cost around $1,300 and three are suggested to start, followed by an annual maintenance treatment. For more information, visit Divabysciton.com, or call (630) 455-0140 to make an appointment with Dr. Cheung.
