Vaginal rejuvenation procedures have become more openly discussed in the past several years, but many women still suffer silently from vaginal dryness and laxity which can lead to painful intercourse and decreased libido. Many women find that sneezing or coughing at a dinner party or exercising at the gym can lead to embarrassing leaks. Common factors contributing to uro-genital changes include but are not limited to:
- Childbirth
- Hormonal changes
- Menopause
- Hereditary factors
- Certain prescription medications or drugs
Vaginal rejuvenation can provide women options to revive and restore intimacy with their partner and return to a more active lifestyle.

ThermiVA (Non-surgical Radiofrequency Vaginal Tightening)
ThermiVA is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten and rejuvenate the vaginal tissues. This innovative treatment aims to address various concerns related to vaginal laxity, mild urinary incontinence, and other age-related changes in the genital area.
How ThermiVA Works
-
Radiofrequency Technology
ThermiVA utilizes controlled radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and promote tissue tightening. The RF energy is delivered to the targeted areas through a specialized handheld device, encouraging the body’s natural collagen remodeling process.
-
Temperature Control
One key feature of ThermiVA is its temperature monitoring system. The device is equipped with sensors that continually monitor and regulate the temperature during the procedure to ensure safety and effectiveness. Maintaining optimal temperatures is crucial for triggering collagen synthesis without causing damage to surrounding tissues.
Indications and Benefits
-
Vaginal Laxity
ThermiVA is commonly used to address concerns related to vaginal laxity, which may occur due to factors such as childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes. The procedure aims to tighten and firm the vaginal tissues, leading to improved tone and elasticity.
-
Mild Urinary Incontinence
Some studies suggest that ThermiVA may have a positive impact on mild cases of urinary incontinence. By strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and enhancing tissue support, the treatment can contribute to better bladder control.
-
Sexual Function
Patients undergoing ThermiVA treatment have reported improvements in sexual satisfaction. Tightening of the vaginal canal and increased blood flow to the area may enhance sensitivity and overall sexual experience.
Labiaplasty
Enlarged or asymmetric labia can be a source of discomfort for women of all ages.
Young, active women are most often concerned with their appearance in tight gym clothing or bathing suits. Cyclists, equestrians commonly experience pain and discomfort. This may be a source of embarrassment during intimacy as well. Some females are born with asymmetric labia.
With aging and childbirth, hormonal changes may lead to loss of collagen and fat resulting in sagging and wrinkled tissue. The labia majora (outer labia) may appear deflated or the labia minora (inner labia) may extend beyond the labia majora.
Labioplasty is a surgical procedure to alter the appearance of the labia. Various surgical techniques can decrease the length, remove hyper pigmented tissue and/or improve rugosity (wrinkled edges) of the labia.
Mons pubis and labia majora enhancement/reduction
As women age, fat loss in the mons pubis and labia majora creates a deflated appearance. This can be easily improved with autologous fat grafting or dermal fillers. Fat grafting is a procedure where a patient’s own fat will be used to restore a more youthful, plump appearance to the mons.
Some women may wish to have fat removed from their mons or labia majora. Liposuction is commonly performed to remodel the mons and labia to the desired proportions.
