As a woman, you want to look sexy and feel self-confident at any age, but it isn’t always easy after the onset of menopause. You lose collagen as a natural part of the aging process, which affects the quality and resiliency of the skin everywhere on your body. This collagen loss, combined with the changes associated with childbirth and fluctuating hormone levels, can affect the vaginal area in several crucial ways, including:
– Uncomfortable dryness
– Lax tissues
– Incontinence
– Loss of sensation
– A less youthful appearance of the labia
– Inability to reach climax
Women who are experiencing any or all these issues know how frustrating and embarrassing they can be. Fortunately, as many of Dr. Desman’s patients have discovered, there is a quick, comfortable, and pain-free way to improve the look and feel of your most intimate area. An innovative solution called ThermiVa encourages collagen production and helps rebuild loose tissue, creating an improved vaginal appearance and heightened sexual satisfaction.
While there are some surgical procedures to improve this area of the body, ThermiVa is different. It uses radiofrequency energy to gently warm the tissues both inside and outside your vagina, which causes them to tighten. It also stimulates circulation and collagen production that can promote long-term tone and elasticity.
As a non-invasive treatment, ThermiVa requires no incisions, anesthesia, or healing time. The in-office procedure only takes 30 minutes, and is completely painless – most women say it feels like a soothing massage. While ThermiVa’s primary purpose is to firm loose tissue, many women also report increased sexual pleasure and lubrication, plus fewer problems with incontinence, after this therapeutic experience.
After getting ThermiVa, there are no activity restrictions to slow you down. You can drive yourself home, return to work, and even have sex on the same day if you choose to do so.
Dr. Desman completes this procedure using a special wand designed with your comfort in mind. This wand transmits energy to the external labial folds and the internal walls of the vagina. The radiofrequency energy helps tone and improve tissues while simultaneously restoring and rebuilding vaginal walls. The tip of the wand has a built-in thermometer, thus ensuring consistent control of the temperature throughout the treatment session.
Initially, you can expect to need three ThermiVa treatment appointments spaced over a three-month period.
Like most experienced practitioners, Dr. Desman considers ThermiVa to be a low-risk, high-reward procedure, which means many women will be qualified to undergo ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation. You are a good candidate for this treatment if:
You are experiencing vaginal dryness, irritation, and recurring infections. Stimulating the vaginal tissues with ThermiVa will enable your vagina to produce more of its natural lubrication. Your vagina’s pH balance will return to normal, reducing irritation and putting you at less risk of developing unpleasant infections.
You struggle to enjoy intimate moments because sex is painful, or you find it difficult to achieve orgasm. ThermiVa will heighten sexual sensation, making it more comfortable for you to have sex.
You have mild to moderate bladder control issues. Tightening the tissues that lead to the opening of the bladder can improve urine leakage or even make it go away for good.
ThermiVa isn’t a good choice for you if you are currently pregnant, have an infection, are experiencing more severe urinary incontinence, or have a serious bladder or rectal prolapse.
After the first treatment session, you’ll probably notice immediate physical improvement to your labia, as well as increased firmness in your muscles. That’s because the heat instantly triggers your collagen to rebuild itself, and causes tightening of the tissues. This short-term effect will be followed by a more long-range outcome of cell generation that takes up to four weeks. After the third treatment, you will be able to enjoy the ultimate results.
Though the results of ThermiVa are not permanent, they are long-lasting. Many people enjoy a noticeable improvement in the look and feel of their vaginal tissues for up to a year after their three treatment sessions. To maintain your results, you may wish to return for touch-up appointments every six months to a year.
