ThermiVa is a radiofrequency (RF) energy treatment that’s commonly used for vaginal rejuvenation.

As women age, they not only suffer from changes to their appearance via wrinkles and other signs of aging but also when it comes to their sexual health and body functions. One area of the body that is getting more attention when it comes to age management is the vagina. Over the years, events like pregnancy and childbirth along with hormonal changes and age-related tissue decline can impact vaginal wellness.

When your vaginal health is suffering you can experience symptoms like vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, lowered libido, and even experience pain during intercourse due to a natural reduction in lubrication. Fortunately, science is finally catching up on delivering relief for women everywhere.

The ThermiVa treatment works by stimulating blood circulation and inducing collagen production to promote increased tissue strength, elasticity, and vaginal wall thickness.

Vaginal tissues lose elasticity and firmness with age, as the collagen and elastin fibers that provide structure and suppleness break down and get replaced at a slower rate. Childbirth can further stretch tissues and cause urinary incontinence, especially when you sneeze or laugh. Hormonal changes from perimenopause and menopause can mean dryness and loss of sensation, making sex less pleasurable (even painful).

A ThermiVa rejuvenation procedure stimulates collagen and elastin production and increases blood flow to the vaginal tissues. The ThermiVa machine has a thin probe attached to a wand. This delivers targeted energy that gently heats tissues inside and outside the vagina to provoke a regenerative healing response. The skin of the labia becomes less lax, internal tissues tighten, and nerve signaling is restored, improving both sensation and lubrication.

ThermiVa is a convenient radio-frequency treatment performed in-office

Understanding that your body continues to age and change, results are not always permanent. The cells in the vaginal lining are constantly regenerating and new cells may need the stimulation from the radiofrequency treatments to maintain your results.

On average, after a series of 3 ThermiVa treatments, a maintenance treatment should be done every 12–18 months.

Thermi® radiofrequency products should not be used on patients who are pregnant, have fever or skin infection in or around the area of application. Expected procedure side effects may include transient pain in procedure area, erythema and edema.

The ThermiVa treatment is almost unique in the sense that it’s so effective while being so non-invasive. In fact, the treatment is so safe that there have been no reported side effects. However, as with any treatment, there is the risk of you not responding to the treatment at all. Some patients may not see the same level of results as another patient.
