“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”.
-Aristotle
It is well known that combining therapies in aesthetics optimizes results. Such is the case as well in feminine vaginal rejuvenation.
Different therapies have distinct targets and mechanisms of action to achieve a common goal. They can work synergistically to achieve better results than using a single mode of therapy.
An Essence Laser & Wellness Exclusive is the combination of the external and vaginal rejuvenation Ultra Femme 360™ Radio Frequency device and a PRP injection.
HOW DOES COMBINATION THERAPY IMPROVE RESULTS?
Alternate Mechanisms of Action:
Ultra Femme 360™:
Radio frequency energy→Deep Heat throughout the vaginal, vulvar, and urethral regions
-

HOW DOES THE ULTRA FEMME 360 COMPARE TO THE MONA LISA TOUCH CO2 LASER?
The Mona Lisa Touch CO2 laser is an excellent procedure for medical issues involving severe sexual dysfunction, such as debilitating vaginal atrophy associated with aging, and/or chemotherapy, etc, and issues necessitating the supervision of an OB/GYN physician. The Mona Lisa Touch CO2 laser is a more aggressive therapy that requires creating trauma to the tissue to obtain the desired results. As such, there is greater discomfort with treatment and a higher risk of complications, including infection, burns, and longer healing times.
The Mona Lisa Touch CO2 laser uses columns of heat to create a controlled injury to the tissue, stimulating the production of healing elements, growth factors, etc., which in turn help rejuvenate the vaginal tissue. Thus, the procedure requires trauma to the tissue to get results.
Most women do not need that degree of therapy. Most women have mild to moderate sexual and/or urethral dysfunction and will achieve their desired results with a less traumatic and aggressive therapy such as the Ultra Femme 360 and/or PRP treatment, in which there is no trauma to the tissue and virtually no risk of infection or downtime.
Furthermore, the Ultra Femme 360 device provides direct deep urethral and vaginal tightening to address laxity and Stress Urinary Incontinence, whereas the Mona Lisa Touch CO2 laser does not offer this feature. In fact, the studies on the Mona Lisa Touch did not address Stress Urinary Incontinence or laxity, and those are not listed as indications for the Mona Lisa Touch therapy.
As mentioned, the mechanism of action of the Mona Lisa Touch CO2 laser is to create trauma that induces the production of healing elements and growth factors by the tissue to achieve rejuvenation. PRP treatment draws these same healing elements and growth factors from the patient’s blood in a more concentrated form and delivers them to the localized areas that are the most important for sexual and urethral function without creating the trauma that the Mona Lisa Touch does.
In summary, most women will be better served by the Ultra Femme 360 device and/or PRP treatment to better target more of the common issues with less pain, trauma, and downtime compared to the Mona Lisa Touch CO2 laser. Women with severe sexual and/or urethral dysfunction should be seen by an OB/GYN physician and may benefit from the Mona Lisa Touch treatment and/or surgery.
Ultra Femme 360 and/or O-Shot versus the Mona Lisa Touch CO2 laser:
The combination of PRP treatment and the Ultra Femme 360 radio frequency device targets more symptoms and is the least invasive of any available feminine rejuvenation treatment.
