The Acessa™ System For Treatment of Uterine Fibroids
Fibroids are a real pain, causing heavy periods, bloating, and more. If you suspect you have uterine fibroids or have already been diagnosed with them, the Acessa® procedure is a treatment option that lets you keep your uterus intact. The medical term for the Acessa procedure is laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (Lap-RFA). Essentially, the do

ctor delivers heat directly into the fibroid causing it to shrink over time and, in turn, relieve your symptoms. Most patients are cleared to go home within 2 hours and are usually ready to return to work after 4 to 5 days. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks to consider and discuss with your doctor when making your treatment decision.

It’s no secret that periods can be an inconvenience. But if you plan your life around them, this is your sign to take charge. 🪧

Periods that are heavy and last longer than a week could be abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), a common condition that affects 1 in 3 women.¹ Fibroids, polyps, or a hormonal imbalance are often the cause.

A treatment like NovaSure® endometrial ablation offers relief by removing just the uterine lining, which is the part of the body that can cause heavy periods. It’s a quick, one-time option for women who are done having children or don’t wish to conceive.

One size fits all doesn't apply to treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. 📢

Many women grow up thinking a health choice made by their mom, sister, or aunt is the one they'll have to make too. When it comes to fibroids, that might mean assuming a hysterectomy is the only option. But what was right for one person doesn't automatically mean it will be for you.

Advances in technology have led to procedures that are non-hormonal and minimally invasive. If you have fibroids and are looking for relief, ask your doctor about all your options. Whatever you choose, it should be based on your health, goals, and lifestyle.

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate progress while continuing to work toward better care.

When awareness of common health conditions like fibroids and heavy periods is low, symptoms like disruptive bleeding and pelvic pain are dismissed as "normal." But that's not the case.

Education is important for women to advocate for themselves and make confident decisions about their care. We’re here to be a supportive resource, no matter where they are in their health journey.

For women who are suffering with symptomatic fibroids, know this:

🌸 You're not alone.
🌸 Your pain is real, and your health matters.
🌸 You deserve treatment options that fit your lifestyle.

Our Story and FAQ

Dr. Bruce Lee’s fibroid patients all had the same concern. They didn’t want a hysterectomy or a myomectomy. They wanted a better option for them. And he agreed.

It just so happened around the same time, Dr. Lee was evaluating a new technology designed to treat liver-cancer- radiofrequency ablation. After pouring over thousands of pages of research about the science behind radiofrequency ablation, he wondered, if this can be used to shrink liver tumors, could it work for fibroids too?

It did. The Acessa procedure has transformed from a patient’s wish to a reality that is changing the standard of care for fibroids.
