FAQs ABOUT ThermiVa
ThermiVa is a popular vaginal treatment that helps women regain the confidence and comfort they enjoyed pre-motherhood and/or pre-menopause. ThermiVa is a radio frequency treatment that can drastically improve the function of the vagina without pain or downtime.
Many women find that giving birth permanently stretches their vagina ever so slightly and damages the delicate tissue of their vulva as well. These differences can be so slight that they are indiscernible to a partner, but to the woman herself, sometimes the changes lead to a host of negative changes such as difficulty achieving orgasm, less sensation during sex, bladder leakage, and discomfort when wearing tight pants or swimwear.
For women in pre- or post-menopause, vaginal laxity and atrophy can be a disheartening sign of aging that affects not only their physical experience of sex but their self-esteem, too.
ThermiVa helps women in all phases of their lives restore their vaginal tissues and find relief.
ThermiVa uses radio frequency to subtly heat areas of the vulva and vagina to stimulate collagen growth. The heat is minimal, so it is not enough to be uncomfortable. Most ThermiVa patients describe treatments as a slight warming sensation.
The technology that uses radio frequency to stimulate collagen production has long been used on other areas of the body such as the neck, arms, and breasts. ThermiVa has adapted that technology so that it is now safe for delicate tissues of the vagina and vulva.
During a ThermiVa treatment, the slim ThermiVa wand will either be inserted into the vagina for vaginal rejuvenation or passed over the vulva for vulvar rejuvenation. This motion is repeated several times over the course of the treatment appointment, about 20 to 30 minutes. As the wand contacts the targeted tissue, radio frequency waves enter the tissue and stimulate collagen growth. After each treatment, collagen production increases over the following weeks.
ThermiVa has become increasingly popular because it offers many benefits for women post-birth and in menopause.
Benefits of ThermiVa include:
- Tightening of the vaginal tissue
- Reduced vaginal laxity that is noticeable to patient and partner
- Reduced sagging of labial tissue
- Noticeably softer and smoother vaginal tissue
- Decreased dryness
- Reduced incontinence
- Increased sexual satisfaction
- Stronger orgasms
- Orgasm achieved in a shorter time period
- Increased vaginal sensitivity
One reason women love ThermiVa is that treatments only take between 20 and 30 minutes each. There is no downtime after the treatment, and there is no preparation required before the appointment, meaning you can walk into the office, have your treatment done, and be out in as little as 30 minutes. Many women have their ThermiVa treatments done on their lunch breaks.
Usually, patients need three ThermiVa treatments to see the full benefit of the collagen-stimulating procedure. The complete course of treatment takes about three months, as treatments are spaced a month apart so that your body has time to produce the desired collagen after each treatment. After the initial course of three treatments, you may need to return once or twice a year to maintain results with a single treatment.
Many patients report seeing results from their very first ThermiVa treatment, though the full course of treatment is necessary to see all that ThermiVa can do.
Patients report seeing improvement in tightening both internally and externally, as well as decreased incontinence, better lubrication, and increased sensation about two weeks after their first treatment.
After you have finished all three initial treatments, you will see the full results of ThermiVa about three months after your final treatment. Start to finish, you may see the full result about six months after your first treatment.
Yes, you can receive ThermiVa if you have an STD. Please let our office staff know which sexually transmitted disease or infection you have. Certain conditions may require pre-treatment before coming to your appointment.
In the case of herpes, ThermiVa treatments may cause a flare. If you have herpes, a course of anti-viral medication will be needed before your ThermiVa treatment to help prevent an outbreak.
