In addition, Dr. Mayhew is experienced with two different types of lasers. These lasers include Intense Pulsed Lite (IPL) also known as Lite Energy Source and ERBIUM (ER) also known as Yag Laser and are described further below:

IPL therapy is a “quick-fix” procedure requiring virtually no downtime to rejuvenate the skin and restore a youthful glow. IPL stimulates new collagen to form in the skin thereby reducing fine lines, minimizing pore size and acne scars, and increasing skin elasticity. Intense pulsed light also diminishes flushing or redness of the face associated with Rosacea, reduces brown spots, erases broken capillaries, and smoothes roughly textured skin. The pulses of light produced by IPL equipment are very short in duration, so discomfort and damage to non-target tissues is minor. Most people who undergo IPL epilation only experience slight irritation similar to that of a minor sunburn. The Titan™ by Cutera™ is an example of such a laser. The Titan is a fantastic laser for rejuvenating and tightening. It sustains deep dermal heating which results in new collagen formation over time. There is no pain, no downtime. Results can be appreciated within 2 weeks! Best of all - you can have as many visits as you like for as much tightening as you want. The Titan can even be used on loose abdomen after child-bearing. Please learn more about Cutera™ by visiting their site at: www.cutera.com.

The high-powered YAG Laser produces energy in a wavelength that gently penetrates the skin, is readily absorbed by water and scatters the heat effects of the laser light. These properties enable Dr. Mayhew to remove thin layers of aged and sun-damaged skin tissue with exquisite precision while protecting healthy surrounding tissue. The YAG laser is commonly used for hair removal and leg vein removal such as Varicose & Spider Veins. These lasers are also used for the treatment of minor vascular defects such as spider veins on the face and skin resurfacing to improve moderate facial wrinkles, birthmarks, port wine stains, mild surface scars, or other splotchy skin discolorations. LaserGenesis and CoolGlide™ by Cutera™ are an examples of such lasers. Please learn more about Cutera™ by visiting their site at: www.cutera.com.

Labiaplasty and Vaginoplasty

Labiaplasty – Cosmetic Vaginal Surgery (sometimes spelled labioplasty ) is plastic surgery of the Labia majora and/or the Labia minora, the external folds of the female genital organs (Vulva). The procedure involves reshaping or reduction of the labia.

Labiaplasty may be undertaken for functional reasons, aesthetic reasons, or a combination of the two. The procedure is frequently performed to reduce the size of one or both sets of labia. It may also be used to repair the labia following disease or injury, or to reshape after childbirth. Maybe you saw one of several episodes on Dr. 90210 for the successful surgical treatment of labiaplasty and vaginal rejuvenation.

Labia Majora (outer lips) Reduction - This common anatomical variation may be worsened by childbirth or by weight gain or loss. They may sometimes be improved by liposuction. In other cases, surgical reduction is necessary.

Labia Minora (inner lips) Reduction - Many women dislike the large protuberant appearance of their labia minora. This may cause severe embarrassment with a sexual partner. The overly large labia minora can also result in constant irritation in tight pants. Surgical labial reduction can greatly improve the aesthetic appearance of the abnormally enlarged labis. Some women are born with large labia, others may develop this condition with childbirth or age.

Labiaplasty is an outpatient procedure usually performed under local anesthesia . After surgery, patients may experience some mild discomfort and swelling, which usually disappears completely after 1-2 weeks.

Genital/Vaginal Reconstruction

Female Genital Reconstruction Surgery (Vaginoplasty) is plastic surgery to repair or reshape or reduce the vaginal muscles and/or the perineum, and interior/posterior repair, and also reshape the mons pubis. The vaginoplasty surgery tightens the vaginal walls, reinforces the vaginal support (muscles and connective tissue), and tightens the vaginal opening. You may hear variations of terms such as: vulvar-vaginal reconstruction, perineum, perineal trauma, perineal dysfunction, sexual abuse, parturition, vaginal introitus, acute deceleration injury, straddle injury, insertion injury, forceful coitus, intrapartum laceration, obstetric trauma.

Vaginoplasty (rejuvenation of the vagina) involves “tightening” and rebuilding of the vaginal muscles and the perineum. Childbirth, (especially multiple), aging, and genetic factors often cause the vaginal muscles to loosen, tear, and weaken. The diameter of the vagina gets bigger and there is a loss of feeling (and pleasure). In some cases it can lead to urinary incontinence or leaking.

Vaginoplasty returns the vagina to “pre-pregnancy” state and recreates sexual excitement and pleasure for the woman (and the man)! Vaginoplasty also addresses urinary incontinence, hernia, and interior/posterior repair. Some doctors use a laser for vaginoplasty and or labiaplasty surgery. You may hear variations of terms such as: labiaplasty or laser labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation and vaginoplasty or laser vaginoplasty or vaginal tightening. The difference is that some doctors are trained to use the laser for cosmetic vaginal surgery and reconstructive vaginal surgery and some use a scalpel. Both are effective.
