Dr. Hailparn is always incorporating safe and effective treatments for feminine health into her cosmetic gynecology practice. At the Cosmetic Gynecology Center of San Antonio, she’s introducing Empower RF, the latest radiofrequency technology that can deliver life-changing women’s wellness therapies. Empower RF addresses a broad range of conditions, including:

• pelvic floor weakness
• stress, urge and mixed urinary incontinence (SUI)
• vaginal dryness and discomfort
• pain from vaginal dryness
• bladder pain
• pain from scar tissue in the vaginal area
• painful intercourse due to menopause
• large labia minora
• saggy labia majora skin
• vaginal looseness (vaginal laxity)
• loss of sensation during sex

as well as other conditions.

Empower RF is a multi-functional FDA approved device that uses different handpieces designed to improve the function and appearance of the female anatomy. These safe treatments improve quality of life and help restore patient self-confidence without surgery or prolonged downtime. All Empower RF procedures are performed in our San Antonio office and take from 20-60 minutes. Some may require 2-6 treatment sessions, depending on what you want to achieve. For some procedures, you can expect to feel a warm sensation during your treatment with little to no pain or discomfort.

How Can EmpowerRF Help Me?

Empower RF is a treatment option for women with the above conditions who want results without surgery.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Procedures

V TONE: Over time, the female anatomy can be affected by such factors as pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, menopause, and aging. The pelvic floor can weaken, resulting in stress urinary incontinence and a reduction in the quality of life. V TONE is a highly effective, gentle non-surgical technology that provides intravaginal muscle stimulation to improve weak pelvic floor muscles and improve SUI symptoms.

FORMA V: Uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to improve blood circulation, lubrication, tighten the vagina by increasing collagen, and can help with SUI. Patients often see treatment effects immediately, with continued results over the following weeks.

MORPHEUS 8 V: Used for vaginal tightening, to treat urge and stress urinary incontinence, vaginal pain, and discomfort from vaginal dryness.

AVIVA: In-office labiaplasty without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended downtime. For women who want to reduce the size of their labia minora and don’t want labiaplasty surgery, this technology uses RF heat to produce desired results. AVIVA is also used for shrinking the mons pubis area and outer labia majora by contracting the fat and tightening the connective tissue underneath.

Face/Body Treatments

MORPHEUS 8 for the Face and Body - safe on all skin types, this minimally invasive device is safe to use on wrinkles and loose skin around the body. Harnessing the regenerative properties of radio-frequency waves, this device stimulates collagen and washes away many different signs of aging.

Morpheus8 – Sculpt the fat and tissue along your cheeks, nasolabial folds, neck, and jowls.

Morpheus8 Resurfacing – Smooth out wrinkles and skin texture with epidermal resurfacing of the superficial layer of the skin.

Morpheus8 Prime – Target adipose tissue in small hard-to-reach areas such as the preorbital area, forehead, inner arms, and delicate female region.

Morpheus8 Body – Target fat and tighten skin along larger body areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.

* For all treatments above, it’s important to understand that every woman's body is different, and results may vary.
