Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs)

LARCs, or Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives, offer highly effective birth control with minimal maintenance. At Core Luxe, we specialize in the insertion and removal of all LARCs, including:
  • Hormonal (Mirena, Kyleena, Liletta, Skyla): Releases progestin to prevent pregnancy by thickening cervical mucus, inhibiting sperm movement, and thinning the uterine lining.
  • Copper (Paragard): Creates an inflammatory reaction in the uterus, which is toxic to sperm and prevents fertilization.
  • Nexplanon: Releases progestin to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining.

Endosee Advance

Endosee Advance is an innovative device used in gynecology for direct visualization of the uterus without the need for traditional hysteroscopy. It provides real-time images, allowing healthcare providers to assess the uterine cavity efficiently and accurately. Endosee Advance is handheld, ergonomic, and minimally invasive, offering comfort and ease of use during procedures. It aids in diagnosing various gynecological conditions
such as abnormal bleeding, fibroids, polyps, and uterine anomalies, leading to prompt treatment and improved patient outcomes.

Pelvic Ultrasound

A pelvic ultrasound is a noninvasive imaging technique used to visualize pelvic organs like the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. It utilizes sound waves to create real-time images, helping diagnose conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, pelvic pain, and pelvic inflammatory disease. It’s a safe and valuable tool for evaluating reproductive health and identifying issues such as ectopic pregnancy or pelvic pain

Colposcopy

Colposcopy is an advanced gynecological procedure designed to thoroughly assess the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer. Utilizing a specialized magnifying instrument known as a colposcope, a detailed view of the cervix and its surrounding tissues is obtained. If any irregularities are observed during the examination, a biopsy may be performed to gather a small tissue sample from the cervix for further analysis in a laboratory. While the biopsy procedure may induce mild discomfort or cramping, it is typically well-tolerated.
