Many are asking about the procedure at our office of obtaining a medical marijuana card. 

At Optimal Health you must be a current patient before we will issue a card. 

If you have not been seen for a while or are not a patient here yet, you must make an appointment to establish care before we will issue a card.

For the medical marijuana visit, it is a $200 charge for the visit and paperwork that must be filed. Then you will have 30 days to register online. 

If you have questions, call us 405-715-4496. 

With our PicoSure laser, we can not only remove tattoos but lighten them for adjustments to design. 

• PicoSure is quickly surpassing traditional lasers in terms of effective tattoo removal because it’s faster, more effective and more affordable.
• The procedure uses picosecond technology to deliver short bursts of energy into the skin, effectively breaking ink into tiny particles for the body to process.
• Compared with traditional Q-switched lasers, PicoSure has more power to eradicate stubborn, old, previously-treated tattoos.
• Bonus points: PicoSure is gentler on the body (it doesn’t affect the surrounding skin) and comes with almost no downtime or side effects.

WHAT IS VAGINAL ATROPHY?

Vaginal atrophy, or vaginal aging, affects around 50 percent of menopausal and post-menopausal women. The walls of the vagina become thinner and the natural elasticity and blood supply are reduced. The protective mucosa of the vagina can lose hydration and thickness causing a loss of lubrication. The changes in the natural pH balance of the internal environment have detrimental effects on the function and health of the vagina.

WHAT ARE THE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL EFFECTS OF VAGINAL ATROPHY

The symptoms of vaginal atrophy may or may not occur simultaneously and may be felt as:

• Vaginal dryness or itchiness,
• Burning sensations and irritation of the vagina,
• Fissuring of the opening of the vagina,
• Pain during sexual intercourse (Dyspareunia)
• Vaginal pain

The symptoms of vaginal atrophy can have both a physical and emotional impact on the patient, including affecting their intimate relationships.

PREVALENCE OF VAGINAL ATROPHY

Around half of menopausal and post-menopausal women are affected by vaginal atrophy will experience some or all of the symptoms listed above.

In addition, younger women who have used the Pill for prolonged periods, breastfeeding mothers and women who experienced traumatic delivery and severe perineal repair and scarring may also experience these symptoms.
