BREAK THE SILENCE. A TABOO NO MORE.
Women often suffer in silence when it comes to talking about their sexual relationship or they may not be taken seriously when discussing their intimate symptoms with medical providers. Quality of life and intimate relationships can be significantly affected.
Menopause, childbirth and even the natural ageing process can result in a loss of sensation, poor vaginal lubrication, decreased sexual function with functional issues in the vaginal region, such as flattening or sagging of the labia or an uneven labia.
Dr Farzana is an advanced aesthetic medical practitioner with a special interest in women intimate health and regenerative medicine. She offers a wide range of treatment including Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) and intimate fillers for labial and vaginal rejuvenation at The Harrogate Clinic in the Yorkshire spa town.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) for Sexual Rejuvenation
PRP is a non-surgical treatment that rejuvenate the vulva and vagina using your own plasma rich in growth factors which boost and repair your own tissue.
PRP first gained attention because of its use by many top athletes for the purpose of speeding up the healing process with joint related injuries. PRP is now widely used and recognised in the field of aesthetic medicine for rejuvenation of hair, face and the intimate areas in men and women. PRP is suitable for women who are struggling with a range of vaginal issues such as painful sexual intercourse, inability to orgasm, reduced sensation, urinary incontinence, weakness of the vaginal walls and lichen sclerosus.
Most women who have had PRP enjoy an increase in their sexual responses, including improved orgasms, decreased pain for those who suffer with painful sex, increased lubrication, and greater arousal sensitivity from stimulation.
To develop a PRP preparation a small blood sample is taken from the arm of the patient and put through a centrifuge which separates the plasma from the blood. Local anaesthetic is applied to the intimate area and plasma rich in growth factors is injected into the vaginal tissue to rejuvenate and regenerate.
Desirial Hyaluronic Acid for Intimate Hydration
Women in the menopause often suffer with symptoms, which include painful sex and vaginal dryness. Hormonal changes including a decrease in oestrogen thins and dry out the lining of the vagina. This results in a reduction in elasticity with symptoms of vaginal dryness and increased risk of infections.
PRP benefits women suffering from:
• Painful sexual intercourse
• Inability to orgasm/sexual dysfunction
• Reduced sensation
• Urinary incontinence
• Weakness of the vaginal walls
• Lichen sclerosus
