Meet Dr. Joseph Berenholz Michigan Center for Women’s Health

For the past 42 years, Dr. Joseph Berenholz has been a passionate supporter of women’s health and well-being. Over 25 years ago, he became Michigan’s first physician certified in the specialty of Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery. He trained with Dr. David Matlock of Beverly Hills, CA, before establishing Michigan’s first Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute, at a time when cosmetic gynecology was virtually unknown in the Midwest. Dr. Berenholz further refined his expertise by training with Dr. Red Alinsod, author of the seminal textbook Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery, in Laguna Beach, CA. Thanks to the influence of these pioneering figures, Dr. Berenholz has since performed close to 4,000 cosmetic gynecologic procedures, assisting countless women in achieving their aesthetic goals.

Pioneer in Electromagnetic Treatment of Incontinence

Dr. Berenholz, always an innovator, tested the first Emsella chair in the United States. He was asked by the BTL Corporation to perform a study on the effectiveness of the electromagnetic chair for the treatment of incontinence. 20 women with varying degrees of urge incontinence and stress urinary incontinence were selected for the study. It should be noted that the Emsella chair was FDA cleared.

Most recently, Dr. Berenholz has published the first paper in the world on the use of High Intensity Electromagnetic therapy for the treatment of urinary incontinence. (See http://emsellamichigan.com/).

Dr. Berenholz has been a pioneer in cosmetic gynecology for the Midwest United States and with mentors like doctors Red Alinsod, the inventor of ThermiVa and David Matlock, Dr. Berenholz has been able to spread the word of cosmetic gynecology and bring relief and solutions to thousands of women.
