This team lives to make you look and FEEL like a million bucks

A note from Sylvia…

Women’s Health was an area of medicine that I kind of “fell” into.  During my training at the University of Colorado PA Program and immediately after graduating from PA school, I worked in all male physician-lead family practices. Because many women preferred to see a female medical provider for women’s health concerns, I became the “go to” for women’s health issues. 

Moving on years later, I found a professional passion in student healthcare at the University of Denver.  In my 12+ years at DU, my practice primarily involved women’s health and sexual health. I met one of my mentors while working at DU. She is a OB/GYN by training. After working together for a couple of years she asked me to work at her private practice exclusively providing women’s and sexual healthcare. 

Interestingly, at the same time I had joined my mentor’s practice, I started working in ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery.  During this time, I found another passion in cosmetic surgery.  I had the best of both worlds, I was working in gynecology and plastic surgery!! 

My mentor at the GYN office expanded her practice focus and we added hormone therapy, Mona Lisa Touch vaginal rejuvenation laser, and sexual health treatments. At that time, very few practices offered similar therapies. The demand for these services skyrocketed and the practice evolved. Women were coming to our office from all over the country (and other countries) for treatments. Our patients sought out treatments for dyspareunia (painful intercourse), lichen sclerosis, libido and hormone concerns, and stress/urge incontinence issues. We saw cancer survivors who had painful vaginal atrophy who were unable to be intimate with their partners for years, not only become sexually active, but enjoy sex again!

Just as the clinic evolved, the whole area of women's health and sexual wellness has evolved. Women are seeking out therapies for issues that previous generations just accepted as part of the normal aging process. Stress and urge incontinence (loss of urine) affects over 50% of women. It often prevents women from being physically active and intimate with their partners. The Mona Lisa Touch laser was revolutionary in treating these issues. 

Several companies like Inmode have expanded female health treatment options. With Empower by Inmode, are we targeting tissue remodeling, contraction and re-training the pelvic floor muscles to improve incontinence. Empower uses radiofrequency and electric muscle stimulating modalities to improve tone, tightness, tissue elasticity, and aesthetic appearance of the genitourinary tract. Dr. Huang and our entire staff are excited to incorporate women’s health treatment options into the practice. We feel like this platform goes beyond aesthetics and provides functional improvement and wellbeing.
