Femilift is a non-surgical vaginal laser treatment developed by Alma Lasers. It uses a fractional CO2 laser delivered through a specially designed intra-vaginal probe to support the treatment of vaginal laxity, dryness, and mild stress urinary incontinence. The procedure is performed as an outpatient treatment, typically without general anaesthesia.
At Dr Nazelia Clinic, Femilift is offered as part of our broader approach to women’s intimate wellness. Each treatment is preceded by a consultation to review your medical history, assess your suitability, and explain what the treatment involves.
Femilift uses the Alma CO2 laser treatment platform, delivering fractional CO2 laser energy to the vaginal tissue through a single-use sterile probe with 360-degree rotational coverage. The laser creates microscopic columns of controlled thermal effect in the vaginal mucosa, penetrating approximately 0.5 mm into the tissue while leaving the surrounding area intact.
This fractional approach allows the tissue to heal quickly while triggering the body’s natural repair process. The thermal effect stimulates collagen and elastin production. As new collagen and elastin fibres form, the vaginal wall becomes firmer, more elastic, and better hydrated. This mechanism of tissue remodelling is what supports improvements in vaginal laxity, dryness, and mild leakage over a course of sessions.

Internal Vaginal Canal: The primary treatment zone, where the rotating probe delivers laser energy across the full vaginal wall.
External Vulvar Area: When indicated, a separate applicator can be used for the external tissue, supporting overall vulvar and pelvic floor health.
Entire Vaginal Mucosa: The probe’s 360-degree rotation ensures even coverage across the full length of the vaginal canal.
Your doctor at Dr Nazelia Clinic will assess which approach is most suitable for your concerns and explain the plan in full before treatment begins.
Femilift may suit adult women experiencing vaginal changes linked to childbirth, ageing, or hormonal shifts, subject to a medical consultation and suitability assessment. You may be suitable if you:
A consultation at Dr Nazelia Clinic will help determine whether Femilift is the right option for you. A recent PAP smear or gynaecological clearance may be required before treatment.
Your doctor will review your medical history and complete a gynaecological assessment before confirming suitability. You may not be suitable if you:
If any of the above applies to you, your doctor can guide you on next steps or alternative options.
Before Treatment
Your doctor will review your medical history, symptoms, and any recent gynaecological examinations. A PAP smear or gynaecological clearance within the past 6 to 12 months may be requested. You will also be advised to pause vaginal products and intercourse for a short period before treatment. If you have a history of genital herpes, antiviral preventive medication may be prescribed.
During Treatment
A gentle vaginal examination is performed before the probe is inserted. The sterile, single-use probe is placed into the vaginal canal, and the laser energy is delivered in pulses as the probe rotates. Most patients feel a mild warmth or light pressure rather than pain. The treatment typically takes around 15 minutes.
After Treatment
Recovery time is generally short, and most patients return to daily activities soon after. Mild spotting, watery discharge, or a brief urge to urinate may be experienced within the first day. Pelvic rest is recommended for several days, with full aftercare instructions provided by the clinic.
Aftercare Guidelines
Your doctor will provide personalised guidance after your Femilift treatment. General advice includes:
Short-Term Effects
Mild warmth, sensitivity, light spotting, or a watery discharge may occur in the first one to three days. These are temporary and typically resolve on their own. More significant side effects are uncommon as the procedure does not involve incisions. If you experience prolonged discomfort, fever, or unusual symptoms, please contact the clinic for guidance.
