As women, our bodies go through a lot of changes over the course of our lives. From the physical transformations of puberty to the journey of childbirth and the eventual transition into menopause, our bodies have a remarkable ability to adapt and evolve.
While you may hear women talk about the physical changes they experience in these phases of life, such as loose skin or stretch marks, most people don’t talk about the changes that occur in our intimate regions. We get it—it’s not exactly the best dinner topic, but it is a critical part of our overall well-being that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Amy Brenner, MD & Associates is a leader in women’s health. As one of the top-rated gynecology and wellness clinics in Cincinnati, we are passionate about helping women look and feel their best with advanced technologies and customized treatments.

What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation?
The term “vaginal rejuvenation” refers to any treatment designed to improve the aesthetics, function, or health of the vaginal area. Vaginal rejuvenation includes non-surgical treatments and surgical procedures to help you feel comfortable and confident.
Reasons Women Seek Rejuvenation
Every woman’s body is different. Individuals may seek vaginal rejuvenation for any number of reasons, including cosmetics, self-esteem, physical comfort, or intimacy-related issues. Whatever reason you may have for seeking rejuvenation, we are here to support you!
Some of the most common reasons women inquire about these treatments include:
- Changes related to aging (including vaginal dryness, thinning of tissues, and decreased elasticity)
- Changes after vaginal birth (it’s no secret that those tissues stretch far and wide during childbirth!)
- Enhanced sexual satisfaction (for both parties)
- Difficulties with urinary incontinence (strong pelvic floor muscles are critical)
- Discomfort due to enlarged or asymmetrical labia
Benefits of Vaginal Rejuvenation
Vaginal rejuvenation in Cincinnati can offer a range of potential benefits, including:
- Improved vaginal tightness
- Enhanced sexual function and pleasure
- Reduced pain or discomfort
- Improved lubrication
- Increased confidence
- Better bladder control
Your Options for Vaginal Rejuvenation
Let’s talk about the treatments that can provide the amazing benefits above!
Non-Surgical Treatments
At Amy Brenner, MD & Associates, we use safe and advanced technologies to give you substantial results without the inherent risks or downtime associated with surgery. Our treatment options include lasers, radiofrequency treatments, injectables, and more.
Femilift
Femilift is a laser treatment designed to treat a range of vaginal health concerns. It works by delivering controlled energy to the vagina or vulva to stimulate collagen production. New collagen production in this area helps improve the tone, texture, and appearance of the external vulva, as well as improve elasticity and firmness of the vagina over time.
What It Treats
Femilift can treat:
- Vaginal and vulvar looseness
- Dryness
- Urinary incontinence
- Vulvar pigmentation (darkening)
- Sagging of the outer vaginal lips
- Lichen sclerosus (white patches)
Recovery Time
There is minimal to no recovery time after a Femilift treatment, but we do recommend avoiding sexual intercourse for 5 days after your treatment.
Votiva
Votiva is a radiofrequency-based treatment that gently heats the vaginal and vulvar tissue. This heat energy stimulates collagen production for increased tightness, lubrication, and sensation. Votiva is a fast and pain-free treatment—the procedure itself takes less than 25 minutes to complete!
What It Treats
Votiva can treat:
- Vaginal and vulvar looseness
- Urinary incontinence
- Sexual satisfaction
- Dryness
- Sagging of the outer vaginal lips
Recovery Time
There is no downtime required for patients who get Votiva as their only treatment for vaginal rejuvenation in Cincinnati. If you choose to add Aviva Morpheus8 for enhanced tightening of the external vulva, you will need to avoid sexual intercourse, hot tubs, and pools for 72 hours after your treatment.
Carboxy (CO2LiftV)
CO2LiftV is a painless and effective carboxytherapy treatment. The goal of treatment is to encourage blood circulation and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. We offer this treatment as an at-home kit, with 3 treatments you can easily use in the comfort of your home.
We’ll give you full instructions at the office, but you’ll apply the carboxytherapy gel topically to the vulva or inside the vagina using a syringe. Carboxy can be used as a standalone treatment or after a surgical cosmetic gynecology procedure to speed up the recovery process.
What it Treats
The CO2LiftV treatment can:
- Improve sensitivity and lubrication
- Reverse changes to the vulva and vagina from childbirth, chemotherapy, medications, or menopause
- Support vaginal tightening
- Promote faster recovery from surgical procedures
Recovery Time
There is no downtime or recovery needed after your Carboxy treatments!
Labial Puff
The labial puff is a treatment we use to enhance the appearance of the labia majora. During this treatment, we inject dermal filler into the labia to restore a youthful appearance of the outer vaginal area. This procedure is often termed a “non-surgical labiaplasty” and takes about 30 minutes to complete.
What It Treats
The labial puff procedure treats laxity of the labia majora. It can also help the labia majora close over the labia minora, keeping them more concealed from outside view.
Recovery Time
You may experience minor bruising or swelling after treatment, but there is minimal to no downtime required. You can resume sexual intercourse the day after your treatment.
AVIVA Femtite Scarless Labiaplasty
AVIVA is a treatment that uses radiofrequency technology to heat the vulvar and labial tissue. This heat works to reduce the size and/or laxity of the labia minora, labia majora, clitoral hood, and perineal body. We use a topical numbing cream and ProNox to ensure your comfort during this procedure.
What It Treats
- Laxity of the labia majora
- Mildly enlarged labia minora
- Excess/loose skin of the clitoral hood area
- Gaping vagina/intoitus
- Laxity of mons pubis
Recovery Time
After your AVIVA treatment, you will need to avoid tampons and sexual intercourse for 2 weeks. You should also avoid taking NSAIDs for pain relief in the 3 days following (but Tylenol may be used if necessary).
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment that replenishes your hormone levels to treat the unwanted side effects of aging, including those associated with sexual function. We offer HRT in 4 delivery methods—pellets, injections, creams, and oral medications.
What It Treats
Benefits of hormone replacement therapy for sexual health can include:
- Increased libido
- Improved lubrication
- Increased sensation
- Decreased discomfort during intercourse
- Improved sexual function
- Increased sexual pleasure
Surgical Treatments
Depending on your unique needs and preferences, surgical vaginal rejuvenation in Cincinnati may be your best option. To find out which procedure is right for you, take our cosmetic gynecology quiz!
Labiaplasty Majora
A labiaplasty majora is a surgical procedure that reshapes the outer vaginal lips. During this procedure, Dr. Brenner removes excess skin to reduce, reshape, and rejuvenate the labia majora.
What It Treats
The labiaplasty majora procedure can treat:
- Bulges in clothing
- Uncomfortable sex
Recovery Time
After your procedure, you will be on bed rest for 3 to 4 days. It will take 6 to 8 weeks for a full recovery.
Labiaplasty Minora
A labiaplasty minora is a surgery to remove the excess inner vaginal lip tissue that often causes chronic irritation and rubbing during sexual intercourse. This procedure can improve both the appearance and the function of the labia.
What it Treats
A labiaplasty minora procedure can treat:
- Discomfort during intercourse or exercise
- Bulges in tight clothing
- Rubbing and irritation
Vaginoplasty
A vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure used to tighten the inner and outer structures of the vagina. The goal of this procedure is to improve sexual function by narrowing the diameter of the vagina.
What It Treats
A vaginoplasty aims to:
- Tighten vaginal muscles
- Improve sensation
- Treat vaginal laxity
Recovery Time
You will be on bed rest for 2 weeks after your vaginoplasty. We will prescribe medications to control pain during this time.
Clitoral Hood Reduction
Clitoral hood reduction is a surgery that reduces the excess skin around the clitoris. The clitoral hood covers and protects the clitoris, but excessive tissue in this area can cause discomfort and cause cosmetic concerns.
What It Treats
Clitoral hood reduction treats:
- Decreased sexual pleasure
- Bunches or bulges in tight clothing
Recovery Time
After your procedure, you can expect to spend 1 or 2 days on bed rest. It will take 6 to 8 weeks before you can resume normal activities, including sexual intercourse.
Perineoplasty
A perineoplasty is a surgery that reconstructs the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus). During this procedure, Dr. Brenner can correct a small vaginal opening or a large gaping opening.
What It Treats
A perineoplasty can treat vaginal looseness or a gaping vaginal opening.
Recovery Time
After your procedure, you will be on bed rest and pain medication for 3 to 4 days. You can expect about 2 weeks of swelling before returning to normal activities.
Combining Treatments for Comprehensive Vaginal Rejuvenation
While individual surgical treatments offer targeted solutions to specific concerns, it’s not uncommon for individuals to explore a combination of procedures to achieve a more comprehensive result. The decision to pursue surgical vaginal rejuvenation often begins with an understanding of individual concerns and goals. Dr. Brenner offers a range of procedures to cater to different needs, and combining treatments allows for a more customized approach.
