Vaginal Rejuvenation
with DiVa Laser Treatment

We have not done a good job of educating women on normal vaginal changes that happen with hormone fluctuations. Because of this, most patients are hesitant to speak up about these real, yet intimate, concerns. As women age, decreasing estrogen impairs the growth of new cells when older cells die. When enough cells have been lost, layers of the vagina disappear, leading to atrophy of vaginal walls. Vaginal tissues become thinner, shiny, wrinkled, and parchment-like. The remaining cells struggle to lubricate, maintain a healthy pH, and produce the collagen that allows vaginal tissues to stretch and support sex and the bladder. All of this can lead to burning, itching, infections, incontinence, and painful sex. All women will experience these symptoms at some point after menopause if nothing is done. Vaginal atrophy is normal, but can also be easily treated and doesn’t have to be a part of aging.

There are many! Hormone replacement therapy is a great option for our patients dealing with vaginal atrophy. Our DiVa vaginal laser treatment is a wonderful substitute for patients who either dislike or cannot use hormone replacement therapy as a treatment option.

After completion of a DiVa vaginal treatment, patients can expect improved laxity and function of vaginal tissues, improved lubrication, improved sexual function, and improvement in minor urinary stress incontinence.

DiVa is one of the most cutting-edge vaginal laser therapies used to treat vaginal health concerns and vaginal atrophy. Other vaginal laser procedures target the same issues, but many require manual operation, which allows room for error. DiVa is a smart, automated laser procedure that results in a perfect gridlike pattern of intentional micro-injuries to the vaginal tissue that resurfaces and rejuvenates tissues. The procedure itself only takes about 3-5 minutes.

Patients experience some mild discomfort. A topical numbing is applied for 15-20 minutes prior.

Normal life can resume immediately after your visit! Sex, soaking, and swimming can resume in 3 days. Patients are also advised not to place anything in the vagina for 3 days post-procedure.

Some patients begin to see improvements in as little as one appointment. Typically, the DiVa treatment is broken up into 3 separate appointments to achieve full results. A specific treatment plan will be made between you and your doctor for optimal outcomes.

The DiVa procedure is $1200 for a single treatment or $3000 for a package of 3.

Each year in October and March, we offer a 20% off promotion to all of our laser procedures and packages.

OBGYN Specialists has performed hundreds of DiVa laser treatments since 2020. DiVa is associated with very minimal risks/complications. There is some risk for infection as it does cause micro-injuries to the vaginal skin layer. These risks are reduced with the 3-day pelvic rest period.

Make an in-person or virtual consultation with a gynecologist. The first step is remembering that OBGYNs see a plethora of issues every single day. We take all women’s health very seriously, as we are trained in these issues and want to help. One day, we hope women’s health will be discussed openly and honestly so more people can get the help they need to live the lives they deserve.
