Hormone Replacement Therapy

Essential hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and growth hormones are chemical messengers that have intense effects on our overall health and wellness, including our mental health, physical health, cosmetic health, and sexual health. As you grow older, your body’s ability to produce hormones can become compromised, leading to anxiety, depression, fatigue, high cholesterol, acne, and numerous other problems.

Low hormone levels or a hormone imbalance can affect both men and women. We provide bioidentical hormone replacement treatments for men and women to help you restore optimal and youthful levels of hormones using testosterone replacement therapy and female hormone replacement therapy. Our medical providers listen to your symptoms, discuss your goals, and curate a personalized and long-term hormone replacement plan based on your unique needs. Contact our clinic to learn more about our regenerative medicine in Virginia Beach and schedule a consultation.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

What are the symptoms of a hormone imbalance?

Symptoms include fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, low libido, hair loss, and brain fog. The specific symptoms depend on which hormones are affected.

What causes hormone imbalances?

Hormone imbalances can result from aging, stress, poor diet, medical conditions, medications, or lifestyle factors. In some cases, genetic predisposition plays a role.

How are hormone imbalances diagnosed?

At Fountain of You MD, hormone imbalances are diagnosed with a medical evaluation, symptom assessment, and lab tests measuring hormone levels in blood to identify deficiencies or excesses.

Can hormone imbalances lead to weight gain or difficulty losing weight?

Yes, imbalances in cortisol, insulin, thyroid, and sex hormones can cause weight gain, slow metabolism, and make weight loss challenging.

What are the signs that I might need hormone replacement therapy?

Common symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, low libido, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and decreased muscle mass. A comprehensive evaluation can help determine if HRT is appropriate.

Is hormone replacement therapy safe for everyone?

Hormone replacement therapy is safe for most individuals, but it may not be suitable for those with certain medical conditions, such as breast cancer, heart disease, or a history of blood clots. Our providers will evaluate your medical history to determine your candidacy for hormones in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.

Can hormone therapy help with weight gain or belly fat?

Hormonal imbalances, especially in estrogen and testosterone, can contribute to stubborn fat and slowed metabolism. Optimizing hormone levels may support weight management efforts, although it is not a weight loss treatment by itself.

What symptoms can hormone therapy help improve?

Common symptoms treated with HRT include hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, fatigue, mood swings, sleep disturbances, low libido, vaginal dryness, and weight changes. Many women also report improved focus, energy, and emotional well-being.

Do men benefit from hormone replacement therapy too?

Absolutely, men can benefit from hormone replacement. Men can experience symptoms like fatigue, low libido, mood changes, and decreased strength due to low testosterone. Testosterone replacement therapy helps restore vitality, performance, and overall wellness.

How long does it take to experience the benefits of hormone replacement therapy?

The timeline for experiencing benefits can vary depending on individual factors and the chosen method of hormone administration. Some individuals may notice improvements within weeks, while others may require several months.

How often will I need follow-up appointments or labs for hormone replacement therapy?

Typically, labs are drawn before starting therapy and again 4–6 weeks after treatment begins. Once your levels are optimized, follow-ups are usually scheduled every 3–6 months to ensure ongoing balance and effectiveness.

What happens if hormone imbalances are left untreated?

Untreated hormone imbalances can lead to chronic fatigue, mood disorders, infertility, osteoporosis, metabolic issues, and an increased risk of serious health conditions.

What is pellet therapy and how does it work?

HRT pellet therapy uses tiny, bioidentical hormone pellets, custom-compounded to your needs, that are inserted just beneath the skin. These pellets release a steady dose of hormones over time, helping restore balance and relieve symptoms caused by hormonal decline.

How are hormones administered?

We offer hormone therapy through multiple methods, including injections, pellets, creams, and oral medications. Pellet therapy is the most common and consistent option for our female hormone replacement therapy patients, while Testosterone injections are the most common and consistent for our male hormone replacement therapy patients.

What symptoms can HRT pellet therapy help with?

Pellet therapy may improve low energy, weight gain, mood swings, brain fog, poor sleep, decreased libido, and more. Both men and women benefit from balanced hormone levels optimized through consistent pellet dosing.

Do I need blood work before starting pellet therapy?

Yes. We perform thorough lab testing before your first pellet insertion to ensure accurate dosing and safety. Follow-up labs are also done after treatment begins to fine-tune your therapy and keep your hormones in optimal range.

Is hormone pellet therapy safe?

Yes. Fountain of You MD uses bioidentical hormones derived from natural sources. Because the hormone structure is identical to what your body naturally produces, side effects are typically minimal—especially when managed by an experienced provider like us.

How soon will I feel better after starting pellet therapy?

Some patients begin noticing changes in as little as 1–2 weeks, especially in energy and mood. More significant improvements, including libido, metabolism, and cognitive clarity, often build over the first 6–8 weeks.

How will I know when it’s time for my next pellet insertion?

Most patients begin to notice a gradual return of symptoms, such as fatigue, mood changes, or disrupted sleep, when hormone levels start to decline. To help prevent this, we schedule your follow-up labs and next pellet insertion appointment at the time of your initial procedure. This proactive approach helps ensure a seamless treatment cycle and reduces the chances of symptoms returning.

Is the pellet insertion procedure painful?

Not at all. The procedure is quick and done in-office with local numbing. Most patients describe it as feeling like a small pinch. There’s minimal downtime—you can return to most activities the same day.

How is pellet therapy different from creams, pills, or injections?

Unlike daily or weekly hormone applications, pellets offer continuous, consistent hormone delivery for 3–4 months in women and 5–6 months in men. There are no daily doses to remember, and the steady release of hormones supports more stable symptom relief and easier lifestyle management—without the hassle of frequent reapplication or missed doses.

What’s the difference between bioidentical hormones and synthetic hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. This makes them more easily recognized and metabolized, often resulting in fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormones.

Is bioidentical hormone therapy safe?

Yes, when managed by experienced providers, bioidentical hormone therapy is considered safe for many patients. At Fountain of You MD, we perform regular lab monitoring and customize dosing to minimize risks and maximize results.

How long does it take to feel the benefits of hormone replacement therapy?

Patients often start to feel improvements in energy, mood, and sleep within a few weeks, but full results typically develop over 2–3 months depending on individual hormone levels and the method of therapy.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy

What is testosterone?

Testosterone is a sex hormone found in all mammals. It is the principal male sex hormone responsible for the development of sex organs and sexual characteristics, like bone density, regulating libido (sex drive), muscle growth, and overall sense of well-being. In men, testosterone is produced in the testicles and stimulates sperm production.

What are the signs of low testosterone?

Symptoms of low testosterone may include fatigue, reduced sex drive, weight gain (especially around the midsection), difficulty building muscle, poor concentration, low mood, and erectile dysfunction. Bloodwork is required to confirm diagnosis.

How do I know if my testosterone levels should be tested?

Symptoms of low t or hormone imbalance can present as:

Low libido
Difficulty with erections
Depression
Anxiety
Inability to focus
Lack of motivation
Irritability
Weight gain
Trouble sleeping
Unexplained hair loss
Prolonged recovery time
General malaise

Most of these symptoms are easily correctable with testosterone replacement therapy.

The symptoms of unbalanced hormones or low Testosterone in men often go untreated and are merely considered the signs of aging. Testosterone levels begin to drop every year starting at age 25. While the debate about “male menopause” rages on, the physical changes caused by reduced testosterone are very real. Lifestyle factors, like chronic illness, stress, and obesity can also contribute to low T.

Hormone replacement therapy for men can correct hormone imbalance and treat aging symptoms. Aging is inevitable, but low testosterone symptoms can be medically treated with TRT to help you feel energized again!

How are low testosterone levels tested?

The gold standard for testing testosterone levels is a blood serum test. There is no other evaluation that can match the accuracy of a blood serum test.

How does testosterone replacement therapy work?

At Fountain of You MD in Virginia Beach, we treat men with low Testosterone levels with a comprehensive combination of lifestyle changes and high quality, time-released intramuscular injections of bioidentical hormones on a weekly or biweekly basis. Bioidentical hormone injections are the most safe and effective method of Testosterone hormone replacement therapy.

We have not achieved results using transdermal (through the skin) hormone replacement therapy, which is not absorbed well in men, is easily transferable to children and women, and is outrageously expensive. Other clinics often prescribe patches, pellets, or intranasal therapies, all of which can have irritating side effects and highly ineffective absorption. Intramuscular testosterone injections are the gold standard for balancing hormones in men.

Is testosterone therapy only for older men?

No. Low testosterone can affect men at any age. While levels naturally decline over time, younger men may also experience symptoms due to stress, lifestyle, or medical conditions. We tailor each treatment plan based on your age, lab results, and health goals.

What are the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy?

TRT treatments can help increase testosterone levels and improve symptoms of low t. Benefits of hormone replacement therapy vary based on pre-therapy symptoms. Usually after starting Testosterone replacement therapy, our patients note:

Increased energy
Improved mood
Increased sex drive
Healthy weight loss
Improved brain function
Increased muscle size
Better sexual performance
Increased lean muscle mass
Sharper memory and mental clarity
Better, deeper sleep
Increased strength and endurance
Improved general quality of life

Vast improvements are typically noted as soon as two months of continuous testosterone replacement therapy, but results can vary.

How do I self-inject testosterone at home?

In this video, we walk you through the process of safely self-administering testosterone injections at home. Whether you’re prescribed testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for hormone imbalances, low testosterone, or other medical conditions, learning how to inject properly is key to your treatment’s success.

-Preparing your injection supplies
-Step-by-step instructions for administering the injection
-Proper techniques for selecting injection sites
-Tips for reducing discomfort and avoiding common mistakes
-Safety precautions to take before, during, and after the injection

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and consult with a healthcare professional before starting testosterone therapy or any new treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about your TRT, reach out to your healthcare provider.

How do I get started with TRT?

If you’re in Hampton Roads and suffering from erectile dysfunction, lack of energy, feelings of anxiety and depression, low sex drive, lack of mental clarity, sleep problems, or weight gain, your Testosterone levels may be unbalanced, and Fountain of You MD in Virginia Beach has a treatment that can help. Replenishing hormone levels is vital to optimize the aging process and restore energy and vigor. Our core belief is that hormone replacement improves health, energy levels, and the general sense of well-being. We understand that by effecting positive changes in body composition, by increasing muscle mass and strength while decreasing fat mass, the quality of life will improve and lead to better overall health.

Start feeling better today!

What is testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)?

TRT is a medical treatment that helps restore healthy testosterone levels in men who are experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, also known as “Low T.” Treatment options may include pellets or injections, depending on individual needs.

Is testosterone therapy safe?

Yes, testosterone therapy is considered safe when administered and monitored by experienced medical providers. At Fountain of You MD, we use evidence-based protocols and regular lab testing to ensure optimal dosing and minimize risks.

How is testosterone therapy administered?

At Fountain of You MD, we primarily recommend testosterone injections for men due to their reliability and steady, streamlined delivery. Injections are typically given once a week or bi-weekly, depending on individual needs and lab results. Pellet therapy is also available for men who prefer a longer-acting option with less frequent dosing.

How long does it take to feel the effects of testosterone therapy?

Many men begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and focus within 2 to 4 weeks. Gains in muscle mass, libido, and sexual function often improve steadily over 6 to 12 weeks of consistent therapy.

Will testosterone therapy help with weight loss or belly fat?

Yes, it can. Testosterone plays a key role in metabolism and muscle maintenance. Optimizing testosterone levels often supports fat loss—especially abdominal fat—when paired with a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition.

Do I need ongoing lab work or follow-ups for testosterone therapy?

Absolutely. Lab work is performed before starting therapy and repeated at regular intervals to monitor testosterone levels, blood counts, and other important markers. To make the process seamless, we schedule your follow-up labs and next appointment in advance to help maintain steady results and prevent symptoms from returning.

Female Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is the biggest symptom of menopause?

Hot flashes are the most common symptom of menopause. They are a sudden feeling of heat that can cause sweating, flushing, and a rapid heartbeat.

What is the average age of menopause?

The average age of menopause in the United States is around 51 years old, although it can occur naturally anywhere between the ages of 45 and 55, and sometimes even earlier or later.

What are the 5 stages of menopause?

The stages of menopause are premenopause, perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.

What is hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women?

HRT is a treatment used to restore key hormones—such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—that naturally decline with age or due to medical conditions. It helps alleviate symptoms related to perimenopause, menopause, and overall hormonal imbalance.

How long will I need to stay on hormone therapy?

This varies from patient to patient. Some women choose short-term use to ease menopausal symptoms, while others stay on HRT longer to support their quality of life, bone health, and mood. Your provider will review your goals regularly and adjust your plan as needed.

What types of hormone therapy do you offer?

Fountain of You MD offers topical creams and bioidentical hormone pellet therapy for women. We also prescribe oral progesterone when needed—especially for women with a uterus—to ensure proper hormone balance and long-term safety.

Which method is better: topical or pellet therapy?

Both options are effective, and the best choice depends on your individual goals and lifestyle. Topical cream therapy allows for flexible dosing and quick adjustments, while pellet therapy provides consistent hormone release over several months with no daily maintenance. Your provider will help you decide which is best for your needs.

Are there any side effects associated with hormone replacement therapy?

While rare, potential side effects of hormone replacement therapy may include bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, and mood swings. These effects are typically mild and can often be managed with adjustments to the treatment plan.

Do I need lab work and follow-ups for hormone therapy?

Yes. We begin with thorough lab testing before treatment starts, and we schedule your follow-up labs and next appointment at your initial pellet or topical start to help keep symptoms from returning. Ongoing monitoring ensures your therapy remains safe, effective, and personalized.

How long does it take to feel results from hormone therapy?

Many women begin to feel improvements in sleep, energy, and mood within 1–3 weeks. More significant benefits—like better libido, metabolism, and cognitive clarity—typically develop over 6–8 weeks as hormone levels stabilize.

Is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy safe?

Yes. When managed by an experienced provider, bioidentical hormone therapy is considered safe for most women. We use natural, plant-derived hormones that are structurally identical to those produced by the body, and we monitor labs closely to ensure optimal dosing and safety.

Peptide Therapy

What is peptide therapy?

Peptide therapy uses targeted chains of amino acids to stimulate natural healing, hormone regulation, and tissue repair processes in the body.

How soon will I feel results from peptide therapy?

Most patients report improvements in sleep, energy, libido, or recovery within 2–4 weeks, depending on the peptide.

How do I take peptides?

Most peptides are given through subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. We offer patient instruction and support for easy at-home use.

Is peptide therapy safe?

Yes. When administered under clinical supervision using pharmacy-grade peptides, peptide therapy is considered safe and well-tolerated.

Is peptide therapy different from hormone therapy?

Yes. While both may address similar goals, peptides and hormone therapy work through different biological pathways. Peptides typically stimulate or enhance specific natural processes, while hormone therapy involves balancing systemic hormone levels.

Can I combine peptide therapy with other treatments?

Absolutely. Peptides complement many of our services, including HRT, weight loss, and vitamin injections.

Can peptide therapy help with libido or arousal?

Yes. PT-141 is specifically used for sexual health and is available for both men and women to support desire and satisfaction.

What is NAD+ and why is it important?

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell, essential for energy, DNA repair, brain function, and healthy aging. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, stress, or illness—leading to fatigue, brain fog, and sluggishness.

Who is a good candidate for NAD+?

If you’re experiencing low energy, mental fog, poor sleep, signs of aging, or recovering from illness/stress, NAD+ therapy may help. It’s popular among high-performers and those seeking to optimize long-term health.

How is NAD+ administered?

NAD+ is delivered as a simple injection, in-office or at home. We provide everything you need for safe self-administration and clear, written instructions.

Is NAD+ therapy safe?

NAD+ is naturally produced by your body and is considered very safe when administered under clinical guidance. Our team monitors your progress for optimal outcomes.

What are the main benefits of NAD+ therapy?

Patients report increased energy, sharper focus, improved mood, better sleep, and a more youthful, “recharged” feeling. NAD+ also supports metabolism and cellular repair.

Can I combine NAD+ with other treatments?

Yes! NAD+ is often integrated into hormone and regenerative medicine programs for a comprehensive wellness strategy.

How long should I stay on NAD+ therapy?

This varies. Some patients benefit from weekly use for ongoing support, while others cycle as needed. We help you customize your plan based on your lifestyle and goals.

How soon will I see results from NAD+ therapy?

Some people notice increased energy or clarity within a few sessions. Others experience more gradual improvements over several weeks. Results depend on individual health, age, and baseline NAD+ levels.

What is PDA and how is it different from BPC-157?

PDA is a clinically formulated peptide designed to offer similar healing and anti-inflammatory benefits as BPC-157, but with enhanced safety and medical supervision. Unlike many peptides purchased online, PDA is compounded in a regulated pharmacy and prescribed by our providers.

What conditions can PDA help treat?

PDA may help with soft tissue injuries, joint or tendon pain, post-surgical healing, gut inflammation, and other inflammatory conditions.

Is PDA safe?

Yes—PDA is prescribed and monitored by licensed medical professionals, and produced in a compounding pharmacy to ensure quality and safety.

How do I take PDA?

PDA is administered as a quick, subcutaneous injection at home. You’ll receive easy-to-follow instructions during your consultation.

How often do I need to use PDA?

Most patients inject PDA daily or several times per week, depending on their healing needs and provider recommendations.

When will I notice results from taking PDA?

Many patients report reduced inflammation and discomfort within days; deeper tissue healing may take several weeks, depending on severity.

Can I use PDA with other treatments?

Absolutely. PDA can be combined with hormone therapy, aesthetic treatments, or vitamin injections for a comprehensive wellness program.

Do I need labs or follow-up appointments with PDA?

Labs are not usually required for PDA therapy, but follow-ups may be recommended to monitor progress and fine-tune your plan.

What is PT-141 used for?

PT-141 is designed to improve low sexual desire and arousal in women and men by acting on the brain’s natural pathways that regulate intimacy and motivation.

Can I use PT-141 along with hormone therapy or other treatments?

Absolutely. PT-141 is compatible with a variety of wellness strategies and can be incorporated alongside hormone therapy, aesthetic treatments, or other sexual health solutions to meet your unique goals.

How is PT-141 administered?

PT-141 is a small subcutaneous injection, typically given about 45 minutes before desired intimacy. We provide easy-to-follow instructions and resources for home use.

Can PT-141 be used regularly?

Yes, PT-141 is well-tolerated when used as directed and may be used on-demand based on your needs and your provider’s recommendations.

How long do the effects of PT-141 last?

Most patients feel increased desire within an hour of injection, with benefits lasting up to 12 hours or more for some individuals.

Are there any side effects of PT-141?

Some people may notice mild nausea or flushing, but these effects are generally brief and resolve quickly.

Will PT-141 change my hormone levels?

No. PT-141 acts through the nervous system and does not alter hormone levels, making it suitable for many individuals who want a non-hormonal solution.

Can Sermorelin help with weight loss?

Sermorelin can improve metabolism and help support healthy body composition, especially when combined with nutrition and exercise. We have a comprehensive weight loss program that utilizes the benefits of Sermorelin in combination with other treatment options for effective weight management.

How quickly will I notice results with Sermorelin therapy?

Most patients notice improved sleep and energy within 2–4 weeks, with muscle tone, fat loss, and mental clarity improving after 2–3 months of consistent therapy.

Is Sermorelin therapy safe?

Sermorelin has a strong safety profile when managed by experienced medical professionals. We carefully monitor your health and progress to ensure optimal, safe outcomes.

How do I take Sermorelin?

Sermorelin is administered as a quick, painless subcutaneous injection—usually at night. Our team will show you exactly how to use it.

Do I need lab work or ongoing monitoring when taking Sermorelin?

Yes. We use comprehensive lab work to personalize your plan and provide ongoing support to ensure you achieve your wellness goals safely.

Cosmetic Injectables

How is Juvéderm different from Botox?

Juvéderm and Botox are both cosmetic treatments, but they work differently. Juvéderm is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, specifically formulated to restore volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. It’s ideal for adding fullness to areas like the lips, cheeks, and under the eyes. Botox, on the other hand, is a neuromodulator that relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines.

Can Juvéderm be used under your eyes?

Yes, certain Juvéderm fillers can be used under the eyes to treat hollows or tear troughs. This procedure restores volume and provides a more refreshed, youthful appearance.

What is the best age to start using Juvéderm?

There is no specific “best age” to begin Juvéderm treatments; it depends on your individual needs and goals. Many start in their late 20s or 30s to address early signs of aging, such as fine lines and volume loss, or to enhance facial features like the lips or cheeks. Others may start later to address more significant signs of aging.

Who should not use Juvéderm?

Juvéderm is not recommended for individuals with severe allergies, particularly to lidocaine or hyaluronic acid. Those with active skin infections, inflammation, or certain autoimmune conditions should also avoid treatment. Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding are advised to wait. Always discuss your medical history with your provider before treatment.

Is Juvéderm covered by insurance?

Juvéderm is considered a cosmetic treatment and is not covered by insurance. We partner with Alle and Cherry Financing to help break up treatment costs into smaller payment plans.

Are there any restrictions after a Sculptra treatment?

After receiving Sculptra injections for the face, it’s best to avoid intense physical activity, alcohol, aspirin, and excessive sun exposure for at least 48 hours. These factors can contribute to prolonged swelling or irritation.

When can I expect to see the full results of Sculptra?

Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production. Most patients notice visible improvements around six weeks, with continued enhancements over time, reaching optimal results approximately six months after treatment.

How long do Sculptra results last?

Sculptra’s effects can last up to two years, as the treatment helps rebuild collagen and restore volume naturally.

Are there any side effects associated with Sculptra?

While Sculptra is generally well-tolerated, mild side effects such as swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site may occur. These typically subside within a few days.

Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?

Yes, Sculptra is often paired with Botox®, dermal fillers like Restylane® or Juvederm®, and CO2 laser resurfacing to enhance facial rejuvenation and achieve a more youthful, balanced look.

Who is a good candidate for Restylane treatment?

The ideal candidate for Restylane is an adult looking to smooth wrinkles, enhance facial contours, or add volume to lips. They should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and not have severe allergies, bleeding disorders, or infections at the injection site.

What can I expect during my Restylane procedure?

A licensed provider will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a numbing agent. Using a fine needle, Restylane is injected into the targeted areas. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.

How soon will I see results after Restylane injections?

Results from Restylane injections are typically visible immediately, with full effects developing within a few days as swelling subsides. The treated area may appear slightly swollen or red at first, but this usually resolves within a few days.

How long do the effects of Restylane typically last?

Restylane results typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area, individual metabolism, and the specific Restylane product used. Touch-up treatments can help maintain the desired look.

Do Restylane injections hurt?

How soon can I go back to work after getting Restylane injections?

Most patients can return to work immediately after their procedure. Some minor swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, but these effects are typically mild and resolve within a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for at least 24 hours.

Female Sexual Health

What’s the difference between vaginal rejuvenation and vaginoplasty?

Vaginal rejuvenation is a non-surgical treatment designed to improve vaginal tone, comfort, and overall tissue health. It requires no anesthesia, no hospital stay, minimal downtime, and carries no risk of surgical scarring. Treatments are typically much more affordable than surgical options such as labiaplasty, and many women appreciate the natural, gradual results.

Vaginoplasty, by contrast, is a surgical procedure performed under anesthesia to reconstruct or tighten the vaginal canal and surrounding tissues. While surgery can provide more dramatic results, it involves higher costs, recovery time, and potential surgical risks.

In short:

  • Vaginal rejuvenation = non-surgical, minimal downtime, no scarring, more affordable.

  • Vaginoplasty = surgical reconstruction, requires anesthesia, longer recovery, higher cost.

Why would a woman undergo a vaginal rejuvenation treatment?

Regardless of age, most women can benefit from being treated for vaginal rejuvenation. Women suffering from vaginal laxity or looseness, wrinkled vaginal appearance, inability to reach orgasm, lack of clitoral sensitivity, female low libido (also known as low sex drive or hypoactive sexual desire disorder), painful intercourse (called dyspareunia), stress urinary incontinence (overactive or leaky bladder), lack of sensation or blood flow, large labia minora, or vaginal dryness have had amazing results after our vaginal rejuvenation treatments.

If you’re feeling self-conscious, our vaginal rejuvenation could help restore your confidence. Many women who experienced discomfort during intercourse no longer suffer from pain after non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation.

Who is an ideal candidate for vaginal rejuvenation?

Women of all ages seeking a renewed, more youthful vaginal appearance and function will see tremendous improvements after the Votiva treatment. Stress urinary incontinence, which is very common after childbirth, is improved greatly after the first Votiva session. This can be a life-changing procedure for women with menopausal symptoms.

How do I get started with vaginal rejuvenation?

How long does a vaginal rejuvenation treatment take?

The our vaginal rejuvenation treatments (Votiva FormaV, Morpheus8V, and VTone) are typically done in a quick, 30-60-minute treatment session. Many women opt to come in during their lunch break.

After vaginal rejuvenation, how long should I wait to have sex?

After vaginal rejuvenation, we recommend abstaining from sexual intercourse for at least 24 hours.

Does Morpheus8V vaginal rejuvenation hurt?

Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort during the Morpheus8V treatment. To ensure your comfort, our providers apply a topical anesthetic beforehand. Patients often describe sensations such as warmth, tightening, or a light stinging or “prickly” feeling as the device is applied. The procedure is generally very well tolerated and not described as painful or excruciating.

For those who are more sensitive or anxious about discomfort, we also offer ProNox (nitrous oxide) as an optional add-on to help you feel more relaxed during the treatment.

What is Votiva?

Votiva is a non-surgical treatment that uses gentle radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate the vaginal and vulvar tissues. By safely heating the cells, Votiva encourages the natural production of collagen and elastin—restoring tone, elasticity, circulation, and moisture.

Many women notice improvements in comfort, confidence, and intimacy—often achieving results beyond what Kegel exercises alone can provide.

The treatment is performed with the FormaV handpiece, which specifically targets internal vaginal tissue. To further personalize care, we also offer advanced vaginal rejuvenation options with Morpheus8V for fractional remodeling and VTone for pelvic floor strengthening.

Does Votiva FormaV vaginal rejuvenation hurt?

The Votiva FormaV treatment is painless. Patients report feeling a warming sensation during the treatment.

Does Votiva treatment need to be repeated?

We recommend three sessions of Votiva FormaV, spaced 4-6 weeks apart with noted improvement after the first. After the initial series, we recommend a maintenance treatment yearly for optimal results.
