What is FemiLift?

Millions of women suffer from vaginal irregularities and structural changes due to age, childbirth and hormonal irregularities. Many women are too uncomfortable to discuss their concerns but Alma Laser’s FemiLift supports a woman’s health and well- being and offers a clinical out—patient solution for a wide range of conditions. Such conditions include issues like vaginal atrophy, dryness, and minor incontinence.

FemiLift uses fractional CO2 laser pixel technology to stimulate your body’s natural healing and produce new collagen and elastin, compounds that contribute to tissue resilience and strength. It delivers controlled energy so treatments are safe, precise, and accurate. The laser delivers just the right wavelengths and perfect pulse to provide you with effective tissue remodeling without causing any damage to surrounding areas.

How FemiLift Can Help You

Changes in your vaginal tissue can result from the natural aging process. Events like childbirth and menopause, and receiving cancer treatments can also cause changes to your vagina. It’s common to experience vaginal laxity, dryness, and general atrophy as a result.

Consider FemiLift treatments if you experience any of the following:

Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) - SUI is a term that describes involuntary leakage of urine during activities that increase pressure in the abdomen such as coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise. This condition is caused by a loss of strength in the urethra due to a weakened pelvic support structure. FemiLift treats the entire area, supporting the urethra, increasing the thickness of the vaginal walls and strengthening the pelvic support structure. The treatment reduces the symptoms of SUI and effectively restores urinary continence.

Post - Delivery Changes - Childbirth, a momentous lifecycle event, involves many physiological changes to a woman’s body. Post-delivery, the vaginal area may feel stretched and dry and the pelvic floor may be weakened. FemiLift rehabilitates the entire vaginal area by strengthening and toning vaginal tissue, and restoring its strength and flexibility.

Post – Menopause Irregularities - The shift in hormones that occurs with menopause can cause the lining of the vagina to become thinner, drier, less elastic and inflamed. FemiLift rejuvenates the vaginal lining, increasing the thickness of the vaginal walls and restoring lubrication.

Vaginal Dryness & Recurring Infections - FemiLift helps women suffering from dryness and recurring vaginal infections by rejuvenating their vaginal lining and restoring lubrication. The treatment increases the vaginal immune system responses and blood flow, generates new healthy tissue with higher immune resistance to infections and allows the vagina to naturally maintain normal PH levels.

What Should I Expect from These Treatments?

FemiLift emits laser energy to help tissue remodeling and healing. You may feel some heat and slight tingling, but the treatment is noninvasive and pain-free. The entire procedure lasts just 15 minutes.

Following treatment, there’s no need for downtime and you can even resume sexual relations in three days. Three sessions are recommended for optimal results.

What is Keralase?

Keralase is designed to stimulate hair growth and revitalize the scalp. Improvement in scalp health and hair growth will likely be seen through a series of six treatments with each scheduled two weeks apart.

After extensive research, Kerafactor serum was designed to address thinning hair with a specific selection of five bio-identical growth factors and two skin proteins. Each growth factor’s concentration is significantly increased and tailored for scalp revitalization. This customized approach answers those typical growth factor deficiencies causing hair loss and poor scalp health. The skin proteins assist in scalp circulation as well as hair health. Kerafactor delivers large quantities of key growth factors and proteins into the scalp that lead to significant improvement in scalp health and vascularization – leading to hair rejuvenation.

What Happens During My Treatment?

Your skin is naturally designed to keep things out. Your technician will first use the Lutronic LaseMD to optimize the absorption properties of your scalp. The unique LaseMD laser delivery system has been proven to prepare the skin for increased absorption of nanoliposomes.

After the scalp is pre-conditioned with the LaseMD laser, KeraFactor serum is typically applied to promote stronger, thicker and fuller looking hair in both men and woman.

Keralase Results and Recovery

The Keralase Treatment is less than 30 minutes and promises to show better results than PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). The laser treatment feels slightly prickly and warm, but any discomfort is minimal when compared with PRP injections. While everyone is different, patients can expect to start seeing improvement in scalp health, increase in hair shaft size, and overall increased density by the end of the protocol. Maintenance is required approximately 2-3 times/per year.

KeraFactor Scalp Stimulating Shampoo & Conditioner

The KeraFactor Shampoo and Conditioner exfoliates and stimulates the scalp and hair using a unique combination of conditioners and growth factors designed to enhance scalp circulation and reinvigorate the scalp and hair, leading to hair that appears fuller, has more body, and is healthier. Product is available at Desjarlais Dermatology & Aesthetic Center.

Vascular lesions arise from natural sources including sun damage, genetics and the aging process. DermaV is proven to treat a wide range of vascular conditions, including rosacea, facial veins, broken capillaries, and spider veins on the body, legs, and ankles. 

What is DermaV?

The DermaV™ Laser is a state-of-the-art treatment designed to treat hyperpigmentation, redness, sun damage, spider veins, rosacea, broken capillaries, and more. DermaV™ is quite gentle and only requires anywhere from 2-5 sessions for optimal results. Because the DermaV™ Laser technology works to boost collagen production over time, you can expect your results to continually improve for up to three months after the initial session.

If you struggle with rosacea, spider veins, or broken capillaries, DermaV™ Laser may be the treatment you’ve been looking for. The DermaV™ Laser is a novel laser treatment used to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, redness, and sun damage on the face, neck, and chest. The DermaV™ laser gradually reduces redness and photodamage.

What Happens During My Treatment?

Dr. Desjarlais and our cosmetic team will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan. During the treatment, DermaV applies laser energy that is absorbed by your blood vessels and converted to heat, which contracts and eventually eliminates them. Using controlled heating, DermaV’s laser energy targets unwanted, visible pigment while protecting the top layers of your skin with patented cooling technology.

DermaV Results and Recovery

You may experience mild redness and puffiness immediately following the laser, but you should be able to return to normal activities right away. Some lesions may immediately disappear while others will take time to be broken down and removed by your body. Your skin will continue to regenerate and rejuvenate for several weeks.
