Forma V<\/p>\n
Scared of needles? Consider Forma V, which uses advanced radio-frequency technology to target vaginal tissue, reawakening the skin\u2019s natural collagen production, improving sensation and restoring pelvic floor tone. It\u2019s promoted as a must-try for those concerned with dryness, sagging or loss of tone due to ageing or childbirth, and additional claims have been made around Forma V\u2019s ability to tighten both the labia and vulva. Physical benefits aside, the non-invasive treatment is also said to support the health and overall appearance of intimate skin. <\/p>\n
Where to try it: Skinfinity in Auckland\u2019s Grey Lynn offers Forma V, and recommends booking three sessions scheduled four weeks apart for best results. A bundle of three 30-minute sessions is available for $2150, with the first session priced at $850 and two subsequent sessions at $650 each. Skinfinity.co.nz<\/a><\/p>\n Femtouch Laser <\/p>\n Femtouch Laser, or Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation (LVR), is another non-surgical option to enhance vaginal health, this time harnessing CO2 laser technology to do so. In the same way that CO2 laser can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin when performed on the face, this treatment is said to help maintain the structural integrity and elasticity of vaginal tissues. Other benefits range from improving the body\u2019s natural lubrication, enhancing physical sensation, restoring vaginal function and decreasing the likelihood of urinary incontinence. <\/p>\n Where to try it: At Ponsonby Doctors, Femtouch Laser is priced at $950 for a 45-minute initial consultation and first treatment. A full course of treatment includes three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. A package of three treatments is available for $2500, with each subsequent treatment taking 30 minutes. There\u2019s a caveat worth mentioning here, however – as the treatment is newer, it is still under review for broader scientific validation. A full disclosure statement around the safety, efficacy and risks involved with this treatment is available at: Ponsonbydoctors.co.nz<\/a><\/p>\n Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound<\/p>\n Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) is one of the newest treatments on this list, said to offer a painless, non-invasive alternative to treat erectile dysfunction. A technician uses a small, handheld probe to apply sound waves to different areas of the penis and perineum to stimulate new blood vessels for boosted erectile function. This sound wave technology is also said to activate stem cells, promoting growth of new penile vascular tissue. Unlike tablets, penile injections and vacuum pump therapy, which require some prep steps before engaging in sexual activity, LIPUS is said to offer ongoing benefits, meaning an improvement in sexual spontaneity is possible. <\/p>\n Where to try it: LIPUS is one of the treatments on offer at Urology Care in Wellington, a clinic that helps address a variety of urological conditions – spanning erectile dysfunction and male incontinence to male cancers or kidney stones. A course of treatment involves six 15-minute sessions, twice per week for three consecutive weeks, POA. Treatment is by referral from a GP only, after which the clinic will contact you to arrange an appointment.
