ThermiVa Vaginal Rejuvenation

What is ThermiVa?

ThermiVa is a breakthrough non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedure that uses heat therapy in the form of radiofrequency (RF) energy to promote the shrinkage and tightening of vaginal tissues. ThermiVa is the first non-surgical and thermal-controlled procedure to relieve symptoms associated with female gynecological conditions. After giving birth, or with normal aging, women may experience progressive relaxation and deterioration of the vaginal muscles and related structures. ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation therapy may lead to improvements in:

• Vaginal laxity
• Atrophic vaginitis
• Vaginal dryness
• Mild to moderate stress incontinence/overactive bladder
• Sexual or orgasmic dysfunction

ThermiVa is a non-surgical alternative to procedures like labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, bladder surgery and prolapse surgery. This in-office procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and requires no downtime for recovery—patients can usually resume regular physical activities and sexual function immediately. For best results, patients receive three treatments, usually one month apart. Results are almost always immediate, with improvement continuing after each treatment.

How Does ThermiVa Work?

Temperature-controlled radio frequency technology has been used safely in the cosmetic industry for years to promote the body's natural healing process. ThermiVa works on the same principle as the Thermismooth and Thermitight anti-aging procedures, but collagen production and shrinkage of tissue occurs intravaginally, not on the surface of the skin.

ThermiVa is thought to be effective because of the heat the radiofrequency energy generates and how the temperature of the heat is controlled. The device itself looks like an S-shaped hand-held device that contains a tip that is placed inside or outside the vaginal tissue. The shape and gentle curves of the wand provide comfort and ease as the heat contracts the tissues into a tighter bundle. The procedure also encourages new, tighter collagen production and may help with tissue and nerve healing.

Benefits of ThermiVa

Women who receive ThermiVa treatments are often thrilled with their results and experience life-changing benefits to their self-confidence and overall quality of life. Other benefits of ThermiVa treatments include:

• The ability to treat both the vagina and the labia majora in one session
• No anesthesia, no shots and no numbing creams
• It's comfortable and affordable
• Patients experience increased vaginal moisture (before, during and after intercourse)

Typically, rejuvenated vaginal tissues and revitalized vaginal sensations last anywhere from nine to 12 months. Maintenance sessions may be required once or twice a year depending on each patient's needs. Women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s are candidates for ThermiVa treatments, especially if they are nearing or experiencing menopause and noticing a drop in estrogen.
