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 doctor 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.

Feel like you can’t escape your disruptive period? 🛴💨

We know how challenging it can be to live with fibroid symptoms like heavy bleeding, debilitating pain and frequent urination. But you don’t have to let them hold you back any longer.

A minimally invasive treatment like the Acessa® procedure can help give you relief without removing your uterus. It works by delivering energy into the fibroid, which causes the tissue to shrink over time.

Only you and your doctor can decide the right treatment for you. But it’s important to know your options!

Navigating treatment options for uterine health issues can be a complex journey. That’s why it’s important to seek care from a doctor who helps you feel comfortable and supported.

Take it from Dr. Soyini Hawkins, who says partnership is important. If you don’t feel confident in the treatment your doctor suggests, it’s OK to get a second opinion. The right decision for you is the one you’re comfortable with!

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.
