Laser and PRP treatments for vaginal tissue renewal are now offered at clinics across North America, but that was not always the case. FemRenew was founded on early, direct clinical experience with these technologies, and Dr. Fay Weisberg is described as one of Canada’s first gynaecologists to offer laser and PRP treatment for vaginal tissue renewal. This history shapes how FemRenew evaluates and delivers non-surgical, non-hormonal care today.
This article looks at what that early-adopter history means in practice, and how it connects to the two core non-surgical treatments FemRenew offers: MonaLisa Touch laser therapy and PRP-based O-Shot treatment.
Why Early Experience With Laser and PRP Treatment Matters
New treatment technologies are typically adopted first by clinicians with strong academic and research ties, since these providers are more likely to be involved in early clinical evaluation, training, and protocol development. Interest in platelet-rich plasma for vaginal and pelvic floor applications has grown substantially in recent years. A systematic review examining the role of platelet-rich plasma in pelvic floor disorders found a growing body of published research supporting its use across several indications, reflecting a field that has matured considerably since early adopters began using it clinically.
Being among the first to offer a treatment category means a provider has typically spent more years refining technique, patient selection, and follow-up protocols than someone who added the same treatment more recently. For patients considering PRP or laser-based vaginal treatment, that accumulated clinical experience is a meaningful consideration.
How the Research Has Evolved Since Early Adoption
When a treatment is new, published research is often limited to small case series and early clinical reports. Over time, as more clinicians use a therapy and more data accumulates, larger reviews and comparative studies begin to appear. This pattern has played out with platelet-rich plasma in gynecology: what began as isolated case reports has grown into a body of research spanning multiple conditions and patient populations.
Clinics that adopted these treatments early were, by definition, working with less published guidance than clinics starting today. That means early adopters had to rely more heavily on direct clinical observation and careful patient follow-up to refine their own protocols, which tends to build a deeper practical understanding of how a treatment performs in real-world use.
How This History Connects to MonaLisa Touch
MonaLisa Touch is FemRenew’s laser therapy option for supporting vaginal tissue health. The in-office procedure is painless, takes about five minutes, involves no downtime, and is typically delivered across three visits spaced six weeks apart. Offering this technology early meant FemRenew’s team built experience with patient selection and technique well before it became a common offering at general gynecology practices. You can learn more about how the treatment works on our MonaLisa Touch page.
How This History Connects to PRP and the O-Shot
PRP therapy, delivered at FemRenew as the O-Shot, uses a patient’s own platelets to support tissue repair in the vaginal area. FemRenew’s PRP services are used to help address several conditions, including infertility-related concerns and sexual function. Because this treatment relies on a patient’s own biology, careful technique and patient selection matter, both of which benefit from years of clinical repetition. Full details are available on our O-Shot and PRP therapy page.
What This Means When Choosing a Provider
Not every clinic offering laser or PRP treatment for vaginal health has the same depth of experience with these specific technologies. When researching providers, it is reasonable to ask how long a clinic has offered a given treatment and who performs it directly. At FemRenew, every PRP and laser procedure is performed by Dr. Fay Weisberg, OBGYN, rather than delegated to rotating staff.
It is also reasonable to ask what a clinic’s overall treatment philosophy is, not just which specific procedures it offers. A clinic that adopted laser and PRP treatment early, as part of a broader non-surgical, non-hormonal approach, has likely thought through patient selection and expectation-setting more thoroughly than one that added these services as an afterthought.
How This Shows Up in the Consultation Room
For a patient, this history is not just a talking point — it can change what the consultation itself feels like. A physician who has performed a procedure many times over many years tends to anticipate common questions before they are asked, recognize when a patient’s presentation is typical versus unusual, and set expectations with more precision than someone still building experience with a newer technology.
That does not mean every visit looks identical. It means the underlying judgment guiding each recommendation is informed by a broader base of direct clinical observation, accumulated one patient at a time over an extended period.
What “Among the First” Does Not Mean
Being an early adopter of laser and PRP treatment does not mean FemRenew claims to be the only clinic offering these treatments today, and it is not a claim about outperforming every other provider. Other clinics across Canada now offer similar technologies as well. What early adoption does reflect is a longer runway of direct clinical experience with these specific tools, which is one relevant factor among several worth considering when choosing where to be treated.
We think it is more useful to be specific about what this history does and does not tell you, rather than using it as a vague marketing claim. Patients deserve a clear picture, not an oversimplified one.
Questions Worth Asking Any Provider
Before booking a laser or PRP treatment anywhere, it is reasonable to ask how long the clinic has offered the procedure, how many patients the treating physician has personally treated, and what follow-up looks like if results are not what you expected. These are not uncomfortable questions to ask a reputable provider — they are exactly the kind of questions a well-established clinic should be able to answer clearly.
What Sets a Long-Standing Practice Apart Day to Day
Years of experience with a specific treatment tend to show up in small, practical ways: a physician who has seen a wide range of tissue responses is often better equipped to set accurate expectations before treatment begins, and to recognize early when a patient’s healing pattern is progressing typically versus when a follow-up conversation is warranted sooner rather than later.
This kind of pattern recognition is difficult to shortcut. It builds gradually, case by case, which is exactly why FemRenew treats its early-adopter history as a meaningful part of its story rather than a minor footnote.
Frequently Asked Questions About FemRenew’s Treatment History
Is FemRenew the only clinic offering these treatments in Toronto?
No, but FemRenew’s team has offered laser and PRP treatment for vaginal tissue renewal since early in the field’s development in Canada, giving our team years of accumulated clinical experience with these specific technologies.
Does more clinical experience change how the treatment is performed?
Experience typically improves patient selection, technique refinement, and the ability to set realistic expectations, even when the underlying procedure itself is standardized.
Who performs PRP and laser treatments at FemRenew?
All PRP and MonaLisa Touch laser procedures at FemRenew are performed directly by Dr. Fay Weisberg, OBGYN.
Is newer technology always better than an established treatment?
Not automatically. A treatment’s track record, the volume of published research behind it, and the experience of the physician performing it are often more informative than how recently it was introduced.
Does “one of the first” mean FemRenew is the only option today?
No. Other clinics now offer laser or PRP-based vaginal treatments as well. FemRenew’s distinction is the length of clinical experience our team has accumulated with these specific technologies, not exclusivity.
