Intimate Health for Women, By Women
Just like every other part of the body, a woman’s most intimate area changes with age, but additional decline may be caused by other major events in a woman’s life such as vaginal childbirth, hormonal imbalances, menopause, hysterectomy or chemotherapy. These events affect the health and function of vaginal tissue causing vaginal laxity, discomfort, dryness or loss of sensation. diVa® Vaginal Laser Therapy rejuvenates the vaginal tissue to stimulate the production of collagen and new tissue to help thicken the vaginal walls and treat other issues caused by atrophy.

Common diVa FAQs
What are diVa's benefits?
- Increased vaginal moisture without hormones, creams or suppositories
- Decreased pain with intercourse
- Increased vaginal tone and laxity which leads to heightened sexual sensation
- Treats mild stress urinary incontinence
What makes diVa different?
- diVa is a quick 3-5 minute procedure to fractionally resurface the full length of the vaginal canal
- diVa uses both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths for customizable results and comfort
- diVa is precise and utilizes a strengthened quartz dialator to ensure that all of the vagina is treated
Am I a good candidate for diVa?
Women that have had children or are experiencing menopause would be ideal candidates to improve the quality of their vaginal tissue. Please call us at 616.213.0253 for a consultation with Dr. Tabatha Barber.
How many treatments will I need?
For maximum efficacy, we recommend three diVa treatments 4-6 weeks apart. To maintain your results, we recommend a single touch-up treatment yearly.
What are the benefits of using PRP with diVa Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) helps to improve the thickening of the vaginal walls and to reverse volume loss in these walls as a result of aging. In combination with the diVa, we take advantage of the disrupted skin surface and we simply apply PRP directly over the surface of the treated area. The PRP is rapidly absorbed and exerts its effect deep into the skin through the micro-channels in the vagina that the laser has created.
As Women Ourselves, We Understand Your Concerns
As functional medicine practitioners, we are not limited to traditional Western medicine techniques. Our practitioners may recommend alternative practices such as diet adjustments, exercise activities, lifestyle changes, supplements, and more to restore balance and address symptoms.
