Sparks Fading? How to Rekindle Your Libido at La Belle Vie Medical Spa in Draper
As a women’s wellness practitioner
As both a mother and the founder of La Belle Vie Medical Care and Aesthetics in Draper, Utah, I’ve walked the path that many of you are on now. When I established our sanctuary of healing in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, I did so with a profound understanding of what women—especially new mothers—need but rarely ask for: compassionate care for both their physical wellness and intimate health concerns.
My journey as a medical practitioner in the Salt Lake Valley began long before opening our doors, but it was my own experience with motherhood that illuminated the gap in postpartum care. Many new mothers in Draper and surrounding Utah communities receive excellent obstetric care during pregnancy and immediately after birth, but then find themselves navigating the lasting physical changes without adequate support.
At La Belle Vie, we’ve created a comprehensive approach to postpartum wellness that acknowledges all aspects of recovery—including those that many women feel uncomfortable discussing. Today, I want to share how we’re helping mothers throughout the Salt Lake Valley reclaim their confidence, vitality, and intimate wellness through personalized care.
The changes your body experiences after childbirth extend far beyond what most medical textbooks acknowledge. As both a healthcare provider and a woman, I understand that these changes aren’t merely physical—they affect how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and your quality of life.
Many of my clients express surprise when I explain that the pelvic floor—a group of muscles supporting the bladder, uterus, and bowel—can be significantly impacted by pregnancy and childbirth. These changes can lead to issues ranging from mild discomfort during intimacy to more concerning symptoms like urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Nearly 40% of new mothers experience some degree of these challenges, yet few feel comfortable seeking help.
Hormonal fluctuations after pregnancy, particularly decreased estrogen during breastfeeding, can cause vaginal dryness and discomfort during intimacy. Combined with fatigue, these physical changes can significantly impact sexual function and satisfaction. Many women silently wonder if they’ll ever feel like themselves again.
What I want every mother in the Salt Lake Valley to know is this: these changes are normal, but you don’t have to accept them as permanent. Modern advances in non-invasive treatments have revolutionized postpartum care, and they’re available right here in Draper.
At La Belle Vie, we offer several cutting-edge treatments that address postpartum intimate health concerns with dignity and exceptional results.
Our FemiLift vaginal rejuvenation treatment represents the gold standard in non-surgical intimate wellness care. This advanced laser therapy precisely delivers thermal energy to vaginal tissue, stimulating collagen production and revitalizing the vaginal mucosa. For our postpartum clients, FemiLift offers remarkable improvements in vaginal laxity, dryness, and mild urinary stress incontinence.
What makes FemiLift particularly appealing to new mothers in Draper and surrounding communities is its efficiency and comfort. Each session takes just 15-20 minutes, requires no anesthesia, and allows you to return immediately to your daily activities—though we recommend waiting 72 hours before resuming intimate relations. Most clients experience optimal results after three sessions spaced one month apart, with many reporting noticeable improvements even after their first treatment.
One mother from Cottonwood Heights recently shared: “After two difficult deliveries, I assumed the changes in sensation and comfort were just part of motherhood I’d have to accept. After my FemiLift treatments, I feel restored in ways I hadn’t thought possible. My husband has noticed the difference too, though I did this primarily for myself.”
For women experiencing more significant challenges with arousal, sensation, or orgasmic function after childbirth, we offer the revolutionary O-Shot. This procedure utilizes platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood to stimulate tissue regeneration and enhance sensitivity in the vaginal and clitoral tissues.
As a medical practitioner serving clients from Park City to Provo, I’ve seen firsthand how this minimally invasive procedure can transform intimate wellness. The O-Shot takes approximately 30 minutes from start to finish in our Draper office. We draw a small blood sample—similar to a routine lab test—process it to concentrate the growth factors, and then administer precise injections using advanced techniques for maximum comfort.
The results our Utah clients report are often life-changing: increased arousal, improved natural lubrication, stronger orgasms, and greater overall satisfaction. For new mothers who feel disconnected from their sexual response after delivery, the O-Shot can help bridge that gap, often with effects lasting 12-18 months.
Among our most specialized offerings for postpartum intimate wellness is Clitoxin therapy. This innovative treatment uses highly purified neuromuscular modulators to relax the muscles surrounding the clitoral hood, potentially increasing blood flow and enhancing sensitivity. For mothers throughout the Salt Lake Valley who experience decreased sensation after childbirth, this minimally invasive procedure can provide remarkable results.
The treatment is extremely quick—often completed in under 10 minutes—and the effects can be noticed within days, typically lasting 3-4 months. Many of our clients incorporate Clitoxin into their regular wellness routine, reporting that it helps them reconnect with their bodies’ pleasure responses after the significant changes of pregnancy and childbirth.
For many new mothers, hormonal fluctuations represent the most significant barrier to postpartum wellness and sexual satisfaction. Our comprehensive Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) program begins with thorough testing to identify your specific hormonal profile and imbalances.
Unlike conventional hormone treatments, our bio-identical options are precisely matched to your body’s natural hormones in molecular structure, allowing for better absorption and fewer side effects. For postpartum women experiencing vaginal dryness, decreased libido, fatigue, mood fluctuations, or sleep disturbances, BHRT can address these concerns at their source.
One of my clients from Herriman described her experience: “After my second child, I felt like I was living in someone else’s body. The hot flashes, mood swings, and complete lack of interest in intimacy weren’t just affecting me—they were affecting my entire family. Six weeks into my personalized hormone therapy program at Radiance, I started recognizing myself again. Three months in, my husband said he had his wife back.”
I’ve witnessed remarkable transformations in women who finally address these underlying hormonal factors. Our approach integrates regular monitoring and adjustments to ensure optimal results throughout your postpartum journey and beyond.
The changes in your body after pregnancy deserve celebration—they’re evidence of the incredible feat your body has accomplished. But it’s also natural to desire help with recovery, especially for changes that don’t resolve with time and traditional exercise.
For many new mothers, diet and exercise alone aren’t enough to address stubborn fat deposits that appear after pregnancy. Our advanced CoolSculpting treatments offer a non-surgical solution that specifically targets these resistant areas with proven effectiveness.
This FDA-cleared technology uses controlled cooling to precisely target and eliminate fat cells without affecting surrounding tissues. During your treatment at our Draper location, the CoolSculpting applicator delivers controlled cooling to the targeted area, crystallizing fat cells which your body then naturally eliminates over the following weeks.
What makes CoolSculpting particularly valuable for postpartum women is its ability to target specific areas that often prove resistant to traditional weight loss efforts—lower abdomen, flanks, back rolls, and even the “bra bulge” that many mothers notice after pregnancy. Each treatment takes just 35-60 minutes depending on the area, with no downtime required—you can return to caring for your little ones immediately.
Our clients appreciate that results develop gradually over 1-3 months, appearing natural rather than sudden. One mother of twins from Draper shared: “After carrying my boys, my body stored fat differently, especially around my midsection. After three CoolSculpting sessions, I’ve reclaimed my waistline without surgery or downtime. The gradual improvement meant no one questioned how I suddenly changed—they just noticed I looked more like myself again.”
Pregnancy stretch marks represent a common concern for many of our clients throughout Utah. But we offer a comprehensive approach to treating stretch marks based on their severity and your personal goals.
For mild to moderate stretch marks, our microneedling pen treatments provide excellent results with minimal downtime. This innovative approach uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin’s surface, triggering your body’s natural healing response and stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production. These essential proteins help strengthen and revitalize your skin, gradually reducing the appearance of stretch marks over time.
Most mothers see significant improvement after 3-4 sessions spaced approximately four weeks apart. The treatment itself takes about 30 minutes, with minimal discomfort thanks to our topical numbing protocol. Many clients schedule their treatments during their baby’s naptime and return to normal activities immediately afterward, though we recommend avoiding intense exercise or heat exposure for 24 hours.
For more pronounced or mature stretch marks, we offer revolutionary deep dermal heating treatments that combine microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. Our state-of-the-art technology delivers focused RF energy deep into the dermis where standard treatments cannot reach. This powerful combination stimulates three essential skin components—collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—resulting in dramatic remodeling of scar tissue and noticeable skin tightening.
What distinguishes our approach to stretch mark treatment is our customized protocol. During your consultation at our Draper office, we’ll assess your specific concerns and develop a tailored treatment plan that may combine different modalities for optimal results.
Perhaps the most important service we provide at our Draper location is permission for mothers to prioritize themselves. In Utah’s culture of family dedication and service, many women view self-care as selfish rather than essential. As both a healthcare provider and a mother, I’m here to tell you: self-care is a vital component of family wellness.
For many women, our treatments represent their first hours of uninterrupted self-focus since giving birth. The physical benefits are significant—reduced muscle tension, improved circulation, and rejuvenated skin. But the emotional impact is equally powerful. As one mother from Riverton recently told me, “Those two hours at La Belle Vie reminded me that I’m still a person with my own needs, not just someone’s mother.”
As I reflect on the hundreds of postpartum women who have trusted us with their care since opening our doors in Draper, I’m struck by one consistent truth: every mother’s journey is unique, but none should walk it without support.
Whether you delivered your baby six weeks or six years ago, whether you’re struggling with intimate discomfort or simply feeling disconnected from your physical self, there’s a place for you at La Belle Vie. Our team of specialists serves women from across the Wasatch Front with the medical expertise, compassionate understanding, and personalized attention that postpartum recovery demands.
I invite you to schedule a confidential consultation at our Draper location, where we can discuss your specific concerns and design a treatment plan aligned with your goals, timeline, and budget. For many women, this first conversation becomes a turning point—the moment they realize that postpartum challenges are both normal and addressable.
Remember that caring for yourself isn’t separate from caring for your family—it’s an essential component. When you prioritize your physical comfort, intimate wellness, and emotional health, you’re not just investing in yourself. You’re creating a foundation for the vibrant, confident presence your family deserves.
