Pink Intimate for women in Vancouver
Understanding Pink Intimate for Women.
Vaginal dryness, pain during sex, burning, irritation and bladder changes are common, and they're very treatable. Many women feel more comfortable and confident once they have the right care.
At Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic this care is offered as Pink Intimate, a physician-led approach to vaginal and intimate-tissue concerns that begins with a private medical assessment.
We start by understanding what's causing your symptoms, then walk you through every option, from well-established treatments to newer in-clinic procedures, so you can choose what fits your situation.
The options for these symptoms differ in how well they're supported by evidence, so here they are side by side.
Concerns & Goals
Concern guides connected to this treatment.
Vaginal Dryness
Reduced natural lubrication and tissue moisture that can cause irritation, burning or discomfort.
Vaginal Laxity & Tissue Changes
Changes in vaginal tone, moisture or comfort related to childbirth, hormones or aging.
Menopause-Related Tissue Changes
Dryness, discomfort, laxity, urinary changes or sexual concerns linked to declining estrogen in menopause.
Urinary Incontinence & Bladder Leakage
Involuntary urine leakage during activity, with urgency, or with everyday movement.
Mild Urinary Concerns
Urgency, frequency, mild leakage or discomfort that may have pelvic-floor, hormonal, bladder or medical causes.
Menopause Symptoms
Physical, emotional, sleep, sexual, vaginal, or urinary changes associated with the menopause transition.
Changes in Sexual Wellness
Changes in sexual desire, arousal, lubrication, sensation, comfort, or satisfaction.
Reduced Genital Sensitivity
A decrease in genital sensation that may affect arousal, comfort or sexual experience.
Fatigue and Reduced Energy
Persistent physical or mental exhaustion that is not fully relieved by rest and may have many underlying causes.
Hormonal Concerns
Changes such as fatigue, mood shifts, sleep issues, or altered libido that may warrant hormone assessment.
Treatment options at our clinic
- Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants: for dryness and discomfort, used regularly as well as before intercourse.
- Local hormone therapy: where medically appropriate, for menopause-related tissue change, prescribed and reviewed by one of our physicians.
- Pelvic floor physiotherapy, by referral: recognized first-line care for many urinary and pelvic symptoms, including leakage.
- diVa Vaginal Laser: considered alongside established treatment once the cause is understood, for comfort and tissue quality.
- Alma Duo: uses gentle acoustic waves and may be considered for selected intimate wellness concerns after assessment.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): in selected cases, injected by our experienced physicians; still investigational for intimate-health symptoms.
Many women combine more than one of these. Each technology page explains how the treatment works, what to expect, recovery and safety.
What Pink Intimate care can help with
- Vaginal dryness and a persistent feeling of tightness or irritation
- Pain or burning during sex, or afterwards
- Itching, soreness or sensitivity of the vulva
- Tissue changes after menopause, or brought on early by cancer treatment or surgical menopause
- Reduced sensation, or changes in arousal and comfort
- Mild urinary symptoms such as urgency, frequency or minor leakage
- Changes after childbirth affecting comfort or function
Several of these have specific, effective medical treatments, and some share symptoms with other conditions, which is why your care starts with a careful assessment.
Who may benefit
An assessment is helpful for any woman with the symptoms above, whatever her age and whatever she has already tried. An in-clinic procedure is a separate step, considered once the cause is understood and established options have been discussed.
These symptoms are always investigated first:
- Any vaginal bleeding after menopause, or unexplained bleeding at any age
- Bleeding after intercourse
- Persistent pelvic or vulvar pain
- Abnormal discharge, or a lesion, ulcer or white patch on the vulva
- Significant or worsening urinary symptoms
If your main concern is bladder leakage or prolapse, medical assessment and pelvic floor physiotherapy lead your care, with gynecological or urogynecological referral where helpful.
Your medical history, medications and previous treatments are reviewed at your consultation to confirm which option suits you.

Looking for the right next step?
Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic can help you understand this treatment, explore related technologies and concerns, and build a plan around your goals.
Your assessment
This appointment is private and unhurried. You'll have time to talk, and you'll describe your symptoms only to the people directly involved in your care.
Your assessment is with one of our physicians: Dr. Gidon Frame, Dr. Sarina Govindasamy or Dr. Teri Fisher. If a diVa laser treatment is part of your plan, it's provided by our designated Pink Intimate technician, one of our senior laser technicians, under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame.
We discuss your symptoms and how long you've had them, any link to menopause, childbirth, surgery or medication, how they affect your daily life and relationships, and what you've already tried. We also review your gynecological and medical history, medications, cervical screening status, and any history of gynecological cancer or pelvic radiotherapy.
Examination. An examination is usually part of a thorough assessment. It's explained beforehand, you can defer it, and you're welcome to bring someone with you or request a chaperone.
You leave with a clear explanation of what's likely causing your symptoms, the established treatments, anything that needs investigating or referring, and, where relevant, what's known about each in-clinic option.
Your consultation with one of our physicians is $199. If you need to cancel or change it, please give us at least 48 hours' notice and we'll refund the fee or move your appointment. With less notice, or if you miss the appointment, the fee is kept.
Results and planning
What can improve: dryness, comfort during sex, irritation and burning, and in some cases the tissue changes underlying them. Established medical treatments have the strongest track record.
When change appears. Lubricants work immediately, and regular moisturizers build comfort over weeks. Local hormone therapy usually improves symptoms gradually over weeks to months. Timing, sessions and recovery for in-clinic options are explained on the diVa and PRP pages.
Where in-clinic treatment fits. diVa is used for comfort and tissue quality, alongside established care. Regulators have cautioned against marketing energy-based devices for urinary incontinence, prolapse or sexual function, and we don't use it for those.
Keeping your result. Menopause-related tissue change continues over time, so treatment is planned for the long term, and established treatments are usually continued.
What shapes your result: the cause of your symptoms, whether more than one cause is present, your hormonal status, any prior pelvic surgery or radiotherapy, pelvic floor function, and the treatments used together. Individual results vary.
Everyday comfort measures
Simple changes make a real difference and are worth starting whatever else you decide.
- Vaginal moisturizers used regularly, as well as before sex, improve everyday comfort.
- Lubricants during sex reduce friction and pain. Water- or silicone-based products are generally kindest to tissue.
- Gentle products only: scented washes, douches, bubble baths, wipes and perfumed products often make symptoms worse.
- Wash with water or a plain emollient, externally only.
- Continued sexual activity or use of a dilator, where comfortable, helps maintain tissue elasticity.
These measures support whatever treatment you're having.

FAQ
Questions about Pink Intimate for Women.
Your assessment, examination and treatment decisions are with one of our physicians: Dr. Gidon Frame, Dr. Sarina Govindasamy or Dr. Teri Fisher. If platelet-rich plasma is recommended, a physician performs it. diVa laser sessions involve no needles and are provided by our designated Pink Intimate technician under the medical direction of Dr. Frame. You can ask for a chaperone at any appointment, and you'll know in advance who you're booked with.
You'll be seen privately, given time, and you won't need to repeat yourself to several people. You can bring someone with you, ask for a chaperone, or defer the examination to a second visit. Some women find it easier to write their symptoms down beforehand, and nothing you describe will be new to us.
Some studies report improvement in dryness and comfort, while others find little difference from sham treatment, so the evidence is mixed. Health regulators have cautioned against marketing these devices for incontinence, prolapse and sexual function. That's why we discuss established treatments with you first and use diVa alongside them where it suits you.
Bladder leakage has well-recognized treatment pathways, with pelvic floor physiotherapy at the centre, and we'll help you get started with those. Laser isn't used as a treatment for leakage at our clinic.
Often, yes, though it shapes the plan and may mean coordinating with your oncology team. Cancer treatment frequently causes exactly these symptoms, and they deserve proper attention. Let us know about your history early so we can guide you toward the options that suit you.
