Are You a Candidate for Orem Votiva Treatments?
For women dealing with issues like sexual dysfunction, stress urinary incontinence or similar concerns, these can be both frustrating and tough to understand. However, there are some quality treatments out there for these concerns, and one that's been growing in popularity recently is the Votiva treatment.
At Optimal Health Family Practice, we're happy to offer high-quality Votiva treatments to clients in Orem and nearby areas, carried out in coordination with FormaV devices or the Morpheus 8 microneedling program. What exactly are Votiva treatments, and are you a good candidate for them? Here's everything you need to know if you're considering this route.
What Are Votiva Treatments?
Votiva refers to a set of treatments that utilize gentle volumetric heating to help heal and tighten areas of the vagina and surrounding tissues that may have become loose or lax due to childbirth, aging or other factors. This procedure may also be beneficial for women who experience issues like stress urinary incontinence (SUI) as it can help tighten the pelvic floor area and reduce this common issue.
As we noted above, Votiva treatments can be applied in a few different ways. In many cases, they're applied using a handpiece like the FormaV, which will uniformly heat up the treated area and help induce the body’s natural collagen production process. Another option is to use Morpheus 8 microneedling technology, which uses tiny needles to create micro-lesions in the skin that will stimulate tissue regeneration and a long-lasting tightening effect.
Possible Benefits of Votiva Treatments
There are several ways Votiva treatments have been shown to benefit women, including:
Increased collagen production: Collagen is a key component for skin health and elasticity, and Votiva treatments can help speed up the body’s natural production process.
Improved muscle tone: This treatment can help tighten the muscles and tissues of the pelvic floor, which in turn reduces symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), organ prolapse, pelvic discomfort or other issues that may be interfering with quality of life.
Improved sexual satisfaction: Many women report that they have an improved sense of pleasure and satisfaction after undergoing Votiva treatment, as the tightening of their pelvic floor can make a big difference in their enjoyment.
Wrinkle reduction: Due to its ability to stimulate collagen production, Votiva treatments can also help reduce wrinkles and other signs of skin aging in the treated area.
Helps prevent and treat organ prolapse: Various forms of organ prolapse – bladder, urine or rectal – can all be treated by the Forma V section of Votiva. The increased collagen production that comes from this treatment, along with improved elastin production and a tightening of the vaginal wall, helps keep these organs in their original place.
These are just some of the potential benefits you may experience if you undergo Votiva treatments at Optimal Health Family Practice. For a full breakdown here, feel free to contact our expert staff at your convenience.
Which kinds of women are typically candidates for Votiva treatments? Our next few sections will go over this.
Experiencing Vaginal Laxity
For many women, the chief reason they seek out Votiva treatments is to address vaginal laxity, which can happen for a few different reasons:
Aging: One of the more common causes of vaginal laxity is simply aging, as the body’s collagen production generally diminishes with age. In these cases, Votiva treatments can help restore the area to its former level of elasticity and tightness.
Childbirth: Women who have gone through childbirth may also experience some degree of vaginal laxity, as the stretching involved in delivery can cause lasting damage to the muscles and tissues down there. Votiva treatments can help with this issue as well, as the heat can help improve muscle tone in this area.
Post-menopause: While this is related to the aging area we just discussed, it’s worth mentioning that many women experience even more pronounced vaginal laxity after they go through menopause. Here as well, Votiva treatments can help restore the area to its pre-menopausal level of tightness and elasticity.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, Votiva treatments could be for you! Speak to one of our specialists to learn more.
Urinary Incontinence
Another common reason why women seek out Votiva treatments is to address urinary incontinence, or the involuntary loss of urine. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including pregnancy and childbirth, menopause and more. In any case, Votiva treatments can help reduce this issue by tightening up the pelvic floor muscles that are causing it in the first place.
For many women who are in this position, this tightening plays a major role in helping them manage their incontinence and live a more comfortable, symptom-free life.
Sexual Dysfunction
Finally, women dealing with sexual dysfunction can also benefit from Votiva treatments. The tightening of the pelvic floor area caused by this treatment can help improve blood flow to the genitals and reduce pain during intercourse as well as improve arousal and lubrication.
It's not just sexual function that can be improved through Votiva, but also pleasure and satisfaction as well. This is due to the improved muscle tone, sensation and lubrication that these treatments can provide.
It's a Simple, Easy Treatment
Best of all, Votiva treatments are a simple, easy way to address many of these issues. All that’s required is a few sessions with one of our experts and you can be on your way to improved health and quality of life in no time. These sessions come with barely any downtime, and you will not have to skip days of work or school to get them done.
