FemiWand for Urinary Incontinence

For many women, bladder leaks begin so gradually that they become part of everyday life.

Perhaps you’ve started crossing your legs before you sneeze, avoiding exercise classes, or making sure you always know where the nearest toilet is. You may even wear pads daily without ever mentioning it to anyone.

At LA LIPO, many women tell us they delayed seeking help for years because they believed bladder leakage was simply part of ageing or something they had to live with after having children. Often, they’re relieved to discover there may be treatment options worth exploring.

The good news is that isn’t always the case.

The right treatment depends on what’s causing your symptoms. After an assessment, your clinician can explain whether a non-surgical treatment such as FemiWand could be appropriate for you.

Urinary incontinence means leaking urine when you don’t intend to.

While it’s incredibly common, it isn’t often talked about, leaving many women believing they’re the only person experiencing it.

The truth is that millions of women experience some form of bladder leakage throughout their lives, particularly following pregnancy, childbirth or hormonal changes during menopause.

The amount of leakage varies from person to person. Some women only notice it occasionally, while others find it affects their daily routine and confidence.

Not all urinary incontinence is the same.

The most common types include:

This happens when pressure is placed on the bladder, such as when:

It is often linked with weakened pelvic floor muscles or reduced support around the bladder.

This is a sudden, overwhelming need to urinate that can be difficult to control before reaching the toilet.

Some women experience one type, while others have a combination of both.

Understanding which type you have is important before considering any treatment.

Bladder leak can also be due to a number of reasons; these include:

Your clinician will review your history and symptoms to see whether what you are worried about may be appropriate treatment for you.

For some women, yes.

FemiWand doesn’t mask symptoms or rely on medication. Instead, it uses carefully controlled radiofrequency energy to gently warm the vaginal tissues. This encourages the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin over the following weeks. As these tissues become stronger and more supportive, some women notice an improvement in mild stress urinary incontinence and vaginal laxity.

As collagen develops, the tissues may become firmer and better supported, which can help improve mild stress urinary incontinence in suitable patients.

Every woman is different, which is why treatment recommendations are always based on an individual assessment.

Every woman’s experience is different

Some women come to us after recently having children.

Others have been living with bladder leaks for ten years or more.

We’ve met women who stopped attending fitness classes, avoided long car journeys and even turned down social invitations because they worried about finding a toilet.

Taking that first step and asking for advice can feel daunting, but many tell us afterwards they wish they’d sought help much sooner.

When should you seek advice?

If bladder leakage is becoming more frequent, affecting your confidence or changing the way you live your life, it’s worth arranging an assessment.

You should also speak to a healthcare professional if your symptoms are painful, associated with blood in your urine, or develop suddenly, as these could require medical investigation before considering cosmetic or non-surgical treatments.

FemiWand is a non-surgical treatment carried out in one of our private clinics.

A specially designed treatment probe is gently inserted into the vagina, where controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered to the surrounding tissues.

Treatment takes 30 to 40 minutes.

Most women describe the treatment as feeling comfortably warm rather than painful, and there is usually little or no downtime afterwards.

Response to treatment varies from person to person, and no treatment can be guaranteed.

But a woman who is a candidate for FemiWand may well see benefits like:

Results develop progressively as collagen production increases through the weeks following treatment.

Many women wait years before seeking help.

Some quietly stop exercising.

Others avoid long journeys or social events.

Many adapt their lifestyle around their symptoms because they assume nothing can be done.

We understand these conversations can feel embarrassing, but urinary incontinence is far more common than many people realise.

Seeking advice doesn’t commit you to treatment. It simply helps you understand what’s causing your symptoms and whether there are options that may be appropriate for you.

Not always.

Urinary incontinence can have several different causes, and some require medical investigation or alternative treatments.

For example, bladder leakage caused by infections, neurological conditions, significant pelvic organ prolapse or certain bladder disorders may not be suitable for FemiWand treatment.

This is why every consultation begins with a full assessment before any recommendations are made.

Although bladder leakage becomes more common with age, it shouldn’t automatically be accepted as an inevitable part of getting older. An assessment can help identify possible causes and appropriate treatment options.

Yes. Falling oestrogen levels during menopause can affect the tissues around the bladder and pelvic floor, contributing to urinary symptoms in some women.

Most women describe the treatment as feeling comfortably warm rather than painful. Your clinician will explain exactly what to expect during your consultation.

Appointments usually last around 20 to 30 minutes.

Because FemiWand works by encouraging your body’s natural collagen production, improvements develop gradually rather than overnight. Every woman responds differently, and your clinician will explain what you can realistically expect during your consultation.

Your clinician may recommend continuing pelvic floor exercises alongside treatment where appropriate, as they can complement one another depending on your individual circumstances.

You don’t have to struggle in silence

Bladder leakage can have a real impact on your confidence, but many women are surprised to discover there may be non-surgical treatment options available.
