61. TREATMENT TIME : what it takes ??
• External labia : 5-10 min, atrophy/lax
• Full vagina : 30 min
• SUI &OAB :10-15min

• Cystocele : 7-10 min
• Rectocele : 7-10min
• Orgasmic dysfunction : 15-20 min

63. HOW ARE
LASERS
DIFFERENT

64. Alma FemiLift
Key Differentiator: Treatment Time and Efficiency
The Alma FemiLift allows Selective Targeted
Treatment Areas meaning practitioners can
target specific areas or zones 45 degrees at a
time i.e. protocol choosing between 11 o’clock
and 2 o’clock for maximum thermal efficacy and
penetration depth.
ThermiVA
ThermiVA uses a disposable wand to deliver RF
energy to the external and internal vagina. Requires
time to increase temperature into the “therapeutic
range” of 40-45° C. Thermal reaction only, no
ablative reaction reduces long term neocollagenisis.
Requires topical numbing cream for external use
(30-45 min)

65. 3. ThermiVA has a single use probe which times
out after 1 treatment and can’t be reused on the
same patient for treatments 2 & 3. Per patient
costs are $450 vs $120 for Femilift. Femilift has a
much better ROI.
ThermiVA is Monopolar and also requires a
grounding pad. Push downside of “old” mono RF
technology and importance of positioning
grounding pad in the correct spot.
How are we different?

66. FemiLift Probe
Key Differentiator
ThermiVA Wand
Small shape – can’t be reused – slow
with small spot size
Slim Shape – ease of use. Comfortable
for practitioner and patient.

How does the FemiLift Pixel CO2 Works?
Alma Pixel CO2 surgical laser utilizes fractional technology to
create micro-ablation and thermal damage to the mucosa and sub-mucosa
• fractional laser through holographic lenses
pixelating the beam to 81 microscopic beams (pixels)
• ablated mucosa and microscopic columns
of thermal damage that penetrate deep into the sub-
mucosa
• Strongly stimulates the growth of new collagen
• Collagen remodeling allows tissue re- firming, causing

80. Effective Mechanism
 Thermal Damage
 Superficial Shrinkage
 Deep Asceptic Wound
 Collagen Remodeling

81. Collagen Remodeling & Stimulation-

Fractional microablative CO2 laser treatment is associated
with a significant improvement of VVA symptoms in women
affected by hormone-driven breast cancer.
This procedure has the advantage of relieving
iatrogenic/physiological VVA symptoms without resorting to
