Over time, menopause and births, the vagina tends to lose firmness and get older¹, which implies a series of effects on the physical and emotional state of women. However, there are currently innovative technologies of non-invasive medicine that help rejuvenate the female intimate area and reverse these problems.

Vaginal tissue is made of collagen bras that are stretched during childbirth (perineal trauma) and age, which causes loss of tone, dryness and irritation, which can lead to urinary incontinence and can even affect sexual life² and women’s self-esteem.

According to Mayo Clinic one of the main causes of the reduction of muscle tone of the vagina is natural childbirth. He estimates that more than 60% of women between 25 and 45 years of age who have had a birth suffer from this problem.

Fortunately, there are methods that help prevent and reverse the effects of estrogen reduction in vaginal tissues (typical in menopause and postpartum) by reactivating the production of new collagen and restoring the conditions of the vaginal mucosa typical of fertile age.

For many people, a migraine can be a severe nuisance that can be so daily that it is adopted as part of everyday life; However, in Mexico this is a public health problem that can be shocking and can cause serious economic repercussions ¹.

Migraine can cause pain as a pulse in the head, usually on one side only. It is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound. A migraine attack can last from hours to days.

Bad oral alignment, for example, can cause tension and muscle pain, lack of concentration, disharmonized or aged appearance, poor posture and tread, digestive problems, poor performance and migraine¹.

According to the American Association of Orthodontists of the United States, in that territory alone there are more than 4.5 million people who use some type of oral appliance to straighten their teeth ².

According to Terry Pracht, DDS, former President of that institution, poor oral alignment has its origin in hereditary, environmental factors and bad habits such as, in the case of children, sucking your finger or pushing your teeth with your tongue; In less case the problems are due to accidents that compromise the mandibular function.
