There are 34 known menopause symptoms. Every woman will have a different experience during this phase of her life. Over the past 5 years, more women have begun to speak about their symptoms and how their lives are impacted. The lock-on effect was more products and services entering the market to target said symptoms. I am always curious about the treatments that promise to help us menopausal women live our best lives. When I learn something new, I have to share it with you. Recently, I attended a presentation about the Caress Flow treatment. The science behind Caress Flow was shared with attendees and we also heard client feedback. So, are Caress Flow treatments worth it? This is Caress Flow explained.
What Is Caress Flow
Caress Flow is an innovative vaginal treatment from Italy. It applies oxygen and hyaluronic acid (specially designed for the vagina) via nebulisation and internally through a cannula 15mls of hyaluronic is applied per season.
How It Works
First, it is important to know Caress Flow is not just for menopausal women. It can be done from 18+ years and as early as 2 weeks after a hysterectomy. It’s suitable for women who are already on HRT because it’s not related to hormone balance in the bloodstream. New studies have shown it aids urogenital health in postpartum.

Vestibulitis is a subset of vulvodynia that is characterized by severe pain during attempted vaginal entry (intercourse or tampons insertion), tenderness to pressure localized to the vulvar vestibule and redness of the vulvar vestibule
Vulvo Vaginal Atrophy is thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls that may occur when your body has less estrogen. Vaginal atrophy occurs most often after menopause
Recurrent Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast in your body

Each treatment starts at £250, and one course is a total of five treatments. One course can be taken every six months, with one treatment every other week. Content Creator Sarah Cawood (Breast Cancer Survivor) was forthcoming about her Caress Flow treatment experience.
Sarah noticed an improvement in her vaginal atrophy after the second treatment. It had not totally healed but there was a noticeable improvement. Sarah then went on to have her 3rd. The recommendation for vaginal atrophy is the full course of 5 treatments.
