Temperature-controlled radiofrequency treatment for vaginal rejuvenation, vaginal tightening, and improved vaginal health while improving female sexual dysfunction, and stress urinary incontinence.

Thermiva® offers increased vaginal tone, increased vaginal sensitivity, increased sensation, and increased (better) sexual satisfaction. It reduces vaginal and vulvar laxity, decreases vulvar sagging, reduces urinary leakage, and reduces natural internal and external vaginal dryness.

Thermiva® is a quick, non-invasive, non-ablative treatment delivering physician controlled radiofrequency energy using a thoughtfully designed hand piece to gently heat tissue.

The Thermiva® procedure regulates the amount of heat delivered by the slightly curved thin electrode. It is specially designed for use in and around the vagina and is about the width of an index finger. It arrives in a sterile package and is not used on other patients, so there is no possibility of infection.

There is no pain with this treatment, so once the patient is placed in a comfortable position, similar to the position of a normal gynecological exam, treatment begins. Temperature-controlled radio frequency therapy has been used safely in the cosmetic industry for years. The ThermiVa works on the same principle, but collagen production, collagen remodeling and shrinkage of tissue occur not on the skin but intravaginally.

Collagen is a protein that makes your skin firm and elastic. The natural aging process can diminish collagen. When the skin has less collagen, it can lose it's youthful appearance. By using radiofrequency energy, skin is heated to stimulate and re-build your body's own collagen, naturally. Treaments using radiofrequency technology are widely used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.

Our Thermiva® Treatments:

The electrode used for this treatment is passed over the external labial tissue first, with the temperature gradually increased to ensure the patient is comfortable. The heat generated is never too hot; most patients find the level similar to a hot stone massage treatment. The probe is then introduced into the vagina where the heat is directed all around, tightening tissues and stimulating the glands that naturally lubricate the vagina. Total treatment time is about 30 minutes, and once it is completed, patients can go about their usual activities including intercourse.

Thermiva® Sexual Disfunction Thearpy:

Thermiva treatments are gentle, relaxing and feel like an internal, warm massage. The procedure is performed in a relaxing and private treatment room on a traditional massage table. An “S” shape probe is used gently on external labia to improve appearance. The same “S” probe can be inside the vagina to reduce vaginal laxity, prolapse and incontinence. For orgasm dysfunction the ThermiVa treatment includes applying the “S” shape wand to the clitoral area to improve nerve sensitivity and sexual response.
