Non-surgical laser treatment for Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)

For most women, the issue is completely resolved after this procedure.

Treating Stress Urinary Incontinence with Femilift: 80-85% of women experience a reduction in symptoms.

Stress incontinence is the most common form of involuntary urine loss. It occurs during moments of increased pressure, such as laughing, sneezing, coughing, and exercising. Stress Urinary Incontinence can occur at any age, being prevalent in young women, especially young mothers, as well as in older age, such as after menopause.

How can stress Stress Urinary Incontinence be treated?

1

Pelvic floor physiotherapy

This therapy aims to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and teach you to use these muscles consciously, reducing urine loss during activities like coughing or laughing.
2

Surgical treatment

In this operation, a tape is placed under the urethra to provide support. After the surgery, you should avoid sports, heavy lifting, or intercourse for the first 4 weeks. In 85% of women, urine loss is completely resolved after this procedure. In 10%, symptoms are lessened but not entirely gone. In 5%, the operation does not help.
3

Laser treatment (Femilift)

For mild to moderate symptoms, a laser treatment of the vaginal wall is a good option. The fractional CO2 laser stimulates the mucous membranes and underlying connective tissue of the vagina, tightening it. Femilift addresses vaginal dryness, contributing to the reduction of discomforts like itching, burning, and pain during intercourse, thus improving overall quality of life. Laser treatment for the vagina has been widely used, and there are many scientific studies proving its effectiveness.

Alleviation of discomfort

By addressing vaginal dryness, Femilift can contribute to reducing discomforts such as itching, burning, and pain during sex, improving overall quality of life.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

The treatment is suitable for women with mild to moderate stress incontinence.

How does the laser treatment work?

FemiLift laser treatment thickens the vaginal wall and provides more support to the urethra by strengthening the tissue around it. The treatment alleviates symptoms of stress incontinence and can even completely resolve the issue. By making the vaginal wall stronger and thicker, Femilift also reduces feelings of heaviness. Women post-menopause additionally notice a decrease in vaginal dryness, recurring infections, and pain during intercourse.

How is the procedure performed?

The treatment takes about 15 minutes, occurs in the outpatient clinic, and is virtually painless. Usually, 3 treatments are needed, spaced every 4-6 weeks. Afterward, an annual treatment is required to maintain the effect.

Hygiene

Willeke Kamphof uses the Femilift laser, employing a sheath placed over the probe. This sheath becomes the patient’s property and can be reused for each treatment, ensuring optimal hygiene.

What is the recovery period?

After the treatment, you can immediately resume normal activities. For the first 3 days, it’s advisable to avoid sexual intercourse (penetration), using tampons, and visiting pools or saunas.

What are the results?

After treatment, 80-85% of women notice a reduction in symptoms, or the symptoms have completely disappeared.

Are there risks or side effects to the treatment?

The risks are minimal. As far as known, no complications have occurred. The laser beam penetrates about 0.5 mm into the vaginal skin, reaching the level where new collagen is formed, but not so deep as to potentially damage other organs.

How long does the result of the treatment last?

After the initial 3 treatments, an annual treatment is needed to maintain the effect because the aging process continues. The treatment is also suitable for women who have undergone surgery for prolapse or incontinence, requiring approximately 4-5 treatments to achieve a satisfactory result.

what people say

I was dreading the treatment (Femilift) for stress incontinence, but it turned out to be much better than I expected—hardly sensitive at all, and the doctor's approach was very reassuring. I've already had two treatments, and the results are very promising.

Wendy

Geweldig. Ook voor (jonge) vrouwen die kinderen hebben gebaard. Voor mij een echt een snelle oplossing voor mijn klachten. Ik had licht urineverlies. Vooral met hard niezen, maar ook bv trampoline springen. Ik moest altijd rekening houden met mijn klachten. Ik raad het zeker aan. Fijne snelle oplossing.

Danielle

Willeke is highly knowledgeable and friendly, providing thorough explanations and carrying out the treatment with great precision. She also took breaks whenever it became a bit painful. The entire treatment lasted about 15 minutes. The result is truly amazing after just one session. No more burning sensation after intercourse, increased lubrication, and an overall better feeling. I wish I had done it years ago. Recently had the second treatment, which was hardly painful at all. I am very satisfied.

Willeke is a professional. What I appreciate is her honesty and the way she puts you at ease.

Although the phone isn't always answered personally right away, you are always called back as soon as possible. The same goes for texting and emailing, as soon as possible. Clearly knowledgeable and exudes that confidence. Customer friendliness gets a 10; you always feel welcome. During the treatment, you are observed to see how it's going and if you're comfortable. They take your needs into consideration. A little chat for distraction also works. Top-notch. There's good explanation, and there's an opportunity to ask questions. The personal service is excellent; if you explain your personal/financial situation, they try to find a solution together. Various options are offered. In summary: Top!!! Highly recommended in every aspect. I hope you continue doing this for a long time, Willeke.

Due to urinary incontinence, I was advised to undergo surgery, which would have put me out of commission for 6 weeks. Why do none of the general practitioners know that you can also resolve this issue with 3 painless laser treatments?!!

Marjella

Femilift for stress incontinence. Complaint-free after 3 treatments. Truly amazing! Didn't think that such a simple treatment could achieve such results.

Willeke offers a fair price for a Femilift treatment. I have now undergone a follow-up treatment, and after a long time, I can say that the Femilift has improved my incontinence to the extent that I (still) do not want surgery. I trust Femilift more than a synthetic sling in my body. I can't run, but daily activities are drier thanks to Femilift. The claim that the treatment is painless is not accurate (as claimed by the manufacturer). It also depends on the numbing spray you can request. This time there was too little time between applying the spray (also too superficially numbed this time) and the treatment. So, I experienced more pain than in previous sessions. It makes sense to take more time, allowing the anesthesia to work better.

Dealing with incontinence for 10 years, and now after 2 treatments, I no longer need pads for normal activities. Personally, it's a very positive breakthrough for me. I was very skeptical and cautious, but after extensive research (there is a lot of information on Femilift on American websites), I took the step and really wonder why this treatment is still relatively unknown. Several gynecologists saw no other solution for me than a TVT sling. (But I don't want a synthetic sling in my body, heard too many unpleasant stories about it) And the recovery is long after surgery. Soon, I will go for a 3rd treatment. Although coughing and sneezing are already 'dry,' I have to wait a few more weeks for the final results because improvement continues in the first weeks after the treatment. After the 1st treatment, it took 2 weeks before I really started to experience the first results. I am genuinely surprised by the impact and the result. I don't expect a 100% dry result, but my daily activities no longer result in urinary leakage. I can bend, make beds, lift grocery bags, make larger movements, and walk a bit faster, even do a bit of a jog to catch the train without losing urine (still not running). But hey, this has already been well worth it for me!! The treatment is manageable. Ask for some numbing cream, it helps!! Afterward, you may experience some discharge for a while (a week after the first time, a bit shorter after the second treatment). My incontinence was not mild; I had leakage during daily activities, not just during sports or coughing. Therefore, I had little hope. But for me, no surgery anymore!!

The treatment is manageable but not painless. Fortunately, it is a short procedure. Taking a painkiller beforehand is recommended. I had a good result after just one treatment!

I experienced the treatment by Willeke Kamphof as highly professional and friendly. Highly recommended.

I read about this treatment in the magazine Linda. I specifically underwent the treatment to improve the quality of my sex life. My vagina had become quite loose after the birth of my children. The treatment has had a significant impact for me. My vagina feels tighter, and I experience much more sensitivity during sex.

Linda

I am very satisfied with the Femilift treatment by Willeke Kamphof. After 2 sessions, urinary incontinence is gone, and I can jump without any leakage. Willeke is knowledgeable, and she knows how to make you relax; before you know it, it's done. The treatment is painless and highly recommended!

Willeke is friendly, honest, and to the point, excellent! The treatment meets expectations. It is definitely recommended!

Heavy feeling improved after just one session. Cycling and walking are much more enjoyable. I hope it's permanent.

Very customer-friendly, knowledgeable, and I could get an appointment quickly. The COVID-19 measures are well implemented in the practice.
