Answer Snippet
diVa Vaginal rejuvenation: how long after is sex ok? Can you continue normal sex between the three tre
Sex after diVa
Jan 22, 2018
Jan 22, 2018
We recommend waiting at least 3 days after your treatment to engage in intercourse. Some people may want to wait a little longer until they are feeling more comfortable. You may continue with normal sexual activity in between all treatments. We sometimes recommend avoiding intercourse a day or two prior to the diVa as well depending on your comfort level during the procedure.
Labiaplasty seperation question? Do I need a revision?
Labiaplasty
Oct 30, 2017
Oct 30, 2017
Thanks for your question. So this is not uncommon after a labiaplasty. Sometimes the skin does not heal well due to exposure to trauma from wearing clothes, sitting and wiping after using the bathroom. Also, the blood supply is limited in this area which does increase the risk for inadequate healing.The resolution would be to allow healing to complete and then revise the separated area, thus repairing the defect.
How long does the diVa procedure take?

Absolutely! Numbing time is about 20-30 minutes, total treatment time is less than 5 minutes and then you’re on your way back to work!
Can a stage 2-3 uterine prolapse be corrected using uterine suspension without hysterectomy?
Uterine suspension surgery
Oct 23, 2017
Oct 23, 2017
Yes, you can keep your uterus with a uterine suspension surgery such as a colposacropexy. Vaginal rejuvenation can be preformed depending upon the nature of the weakness and symptoms you are having. Both of these could be preformed at the same time. You would also have the option of using a pessary for the prolapse. The type of procedure would depend partly on whether or not you desire any further pregnancies.
Will insurance pay for diVa therapy?
Does insurance cover diVa?
Sep 21, 2017
Sep 21, 2017
Unfortunately, insurance does not cover this treatment at this time. However, studies show that women spend anywhere from $600-$5,000+ annually on hormone creams, patches, and tablets. Bladder medications can cost anywhere from $24-$300+ per month, and the vast majority (~80%) of women stop using them after 1 year due to cost and side effects. Women spend ~$750 annually on pads due to bladder leakage. And the management of Stress Urinary Incontinence can cost $2,000-$3,000 per year out…
How many diVa treatments are recommended?
How many treatments are recommended
Sep 21, 2017
Sep 21, 2017
The recommended treatment plan for patients who complain of vaginal dryness, bladder leakage, pain with intercourse and other similar issues is three treatments spaced at 4-6 week intervals for best results. However, each person is unique and may require more or less depending upon the issues we are addressing. For example, we see many cancer survivors who cannot use estrogen therapy for vaginal dryness. These patients may need more treatments to maximize results.
What makes diVa vaginal laser treatment different from other similar treatments?
Why is diVa unique?
Jul 27, 2017
Jul 27, 2017
DiVa is the only hybrid laser (meaning it uses 2 different wave lengths) that can be customized for each patient. diVa is automated and therefore removes the possibility of human error, fully and adequately treating all areas. Each patient will have her own strengthened quartz dilator that ensures full laser effect as it progresses along the vaginal canal (other devices lose effect as the laser is withdrawn). The wavelengths are utilized to allow a greater depth of…
