ThermiVa is an “S” shaped hand-held device that emits thermistor-regulated radiofrequency energy to safely and gently heat the muscles and skin of the vagina, causing the tissue to contract and become tighter. The ThermiVa hand piece measures approximately 0.5″ in width and is specifically designed with patient comfort in mind. It also features an active tip, i.e. a small metal square on the bottom of the electrode. The active tip ensures safe, effective emission of radiofrequency energy to gently heat vaginal tissue.
For years, radiofrequency energy has been used successfully in cosmetic facial treatments to address the signs of aging. The non-invasive ThermiVa wavelengths penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin and stimulate collagen fiber production, nerve enhancement, and even increased development of blood vessels for healthy, firm tissue.
ThermiVa is a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation outpatient procedure which means no hospitalization is required. Our Los Angeles urologists use thermistor-regulated radiofrequency energy emission to gently heat lax tissue of the labia and/or vaginal canal, causing it to gradually shrink and tighten. Scientists feel the heat causes the denaturation and contraction of collagen fibers, which leads to the observed tissue tightening seen in this vaginal rejuvenation procedure. Collagen contributes heavily to the strength and elasticity of the skin. ThermiVa is administered with the “S”-shaped handpiece with smooth curves for optimal comfort in treating both internal and external female anatomical features such as the inner and outer labia, as well as the vaginal canal.
A urethral sling procedure is typically minimally invasive and takes no more than 30 minutes to one hour to perform. After light anesthesia takes effect, the surgeon will make very small incisions in the vaginal area in order to place the sling around the urethra, before closing the incisions with absorbable sutures. A urethral sling procedure is highly effective and is performed as an outpatient procedure.
Many women see immediate results after the procedure, although some may need to wait a few days to a few weeks for full results. Following the urethral sling procedures, patients can typically return to normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks.
ThermiVa for Mommy Makeovers
A mommy makeover involves one or more procedures to help a woman address any post-pregnancy body concerns. Common mommy makeover procedures include a tummy tuck, fat removal with liposuction, stretch mark removal, breast enhancement, and cellulite treatments.
ThermiVa treatments may be incorporated into a mommy makeover, too. In fact, some of the reasons why ThermiVa may be a great addition to a mommy makeover include:
Immediate Vaginal Rejuvenation: ThermiVa can be administered approximately six weeks after a woman gives birth or between pregnancies.
Long-Term Results: The results of a ThermiVa treatment may last up to two years.
Limited Maintenance: In most instances, women only need a single follow-up ThermiVa maintenance appointment annually.
