to perform the Genityte procedure
to a prospective patient.
Nationally recognized for her revolutionary procedure in helping to relieve women of incontinence, Julie Reil, M.D., founder of Genityte, has chosen Estelle Yamaki, M.D. of Federal Way, Wash. as one of the first physicians to offer the procedure in the nation. Genityte uses infrared light to reverse the effects of urinary incontinence, vaginal prolapse and rectal incontinence in women. Dr. Reil began developing the procedure eight years into her medical practice as she witnessed the functional changes that occur in women after childbirth. Her experience using lasers for the aesthetics portion of her practice led her to begin to research the healing benefits it may have for women suffering with incontinence symptoms and conditions.
Dr. Yamaki says, “Incontinence comes with many limitations and can become debilitating for sufferers.” Until the advent of Genityte, women were faced with few options to treat their incontinence and were limited to over-the- counter hygiene products and surgeries that were not guaranteed to cure their conditions. Women who have had the Genityte procedure report an array of health benefits.
Depending on age and severity of their condition, patients average one to three treatments and notice significant improvement immediately. Patients experience a virtually painless procedure; treatments last approximately one hour each and can be performed on consecutive days which can be a critical factor for patients traveling long distances. Patients report an end to leakage and use of incontinence products along with a return to their active lifestyles. Dr. Reil says, “Women have their dignity restored.”
Genityte has been featured on national television shows such as “The Doctors”, garnering attention for the procedure’s astounding success rate. Patients have travelled from all over the United States to be treated by Dr. Reil and her staff in Montana. With the addition of Dr. Yamaki to the provider list, women now have an option for treatment on the West Coast.
Dr. Yamaki is known both locally and nationally for her unprecedented care of her patients as well as her commitment to staying educated and trained on the surgical and technical advances in women’s health. “When a physician with Dr. Yamaki’s credentials became one of the first to join us, my gratification could not have been greater,” Dr. Reil said.
