Warming Up To Vaginal Rejuvenation With ThermiVa

Over the past several years, the vagina has become less taboo of a subject, and something which not only warrants discussion, but is also deserving of care, and even praise. After all, the vagina plays a huge role in everyone’s lives, including in the creation of life itself. The vagina is capable of incredible things, which is why so many women take pride in the appearance and function of this almost magical part of their body.

While the vagina is incredibly resilient and adaptable, aging, childbirth, and other factors can cause the vagina to lose elasticity, strength, and moisture. ThermiVa offers women the ability to instantly and dramatically rejuvenate their vagina’s appearance and function without pain or downtime. Tri Valley Plastic Surgery’s team of highly skilled and experienced medical professionals offers excellence in patient care, as well as surgical and nonsurgical procedures.

How doesThermiVa work?

ThermiVa uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the vaginal tissues. During treatment, our board certified female practitioners will use a wand-like handpiece to treat the area. The treatment process lasts about 30 minutes. The radiofrequency handpiece increases blood flow to the area which stimulates new collagen, tightening the vaginal and vulvar areas while relieving dryness and improving sexual satisfaction to restore women’s confidence and sexuality. This procedure also improves symptoms of mild-to-moderate stress urinary incontinence.

Recovery and Results

At Tri Valley serving Oakland ThermiVa requires no downtime, and patients may return to all regular activities immediately after treatment.

Significant improvement in appearance is visible immediately after ThermiVa treatment, though full results appear within 14 days. Results can be expected to last nine to 12 months following three treatments spaced one month apart. Many patients schedule biannual or annual follow-up treatments to maintain their results.

ThermiVa vs. Other Vaginal Rejuvenation Methods

ThermiVa is quickly becoming a leading method of vaginal rejuvenation due to its convenience, comfort, and efficacy. While there are other vaginal rejuvenation methods available, ThermiVa is unique. It is completely non-invasive and requires absolutely no downtime, making it a much more appealing option than treatments such as laser vaginal rejuvenation or surgery. While surgical rejuvenation may improve appearance, its impact on function is limited. And while the effects of laser treatment may be similar to those of ThermiVa, laser treatments cannot treat the labia. ThermiVa treats the entire vaginal area, including the labia majora and minora.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ThermiVa be covered by insurance?

Unfortunately, ThermiVa is not covered by insurance as it is considered a cosmetic procedure, despite its applications for conditions such as urinary incontinence, female sexual dysfunction, and vaginal dryness.

Can the vagina’s elasticity return on its own?

While the vagina is capable of returning to its original state to an extent, factors such as childbirth and aging can affect the vagina’s elasticity to an extent that requires intervention like ThermiVa.

What causes vaginal laxity, and how common is it?

Vaginal laxity refers to the loosening of tissues that comprise the vaginal canal as well as the outer labia and can occur as a result of childbirth, age, and hormonal changes. Studies suggest that 75% of women in the world have experienced vaginal laxity and related conditions such as urinary incontinence.

What are the side effects of ThermiVa?

Due to the noninvasive nature of ThermiVa treatment, side effects are extremely minimal. Some patients may experience some redness, swelling, discomfort, or tightness of the treatment area, though these symptoms are mild and usually resolve within a few days.Other side effects may include pain, burns, mild spotting, and infection.
