Negative effects of genetics, pregnancy, birth, menopause, and the normal aging process can lead to vaginal skin laxity, vaginal dryness, and decreased sexual pleasure among other complications. Dr. James Anthony in San Francisco, CA is excited to provide ThermiVa. As a nonsurgical procedure performed by Dr. Anthony, ThermiVa utilizes radiofrequency power to stimulate the production of collagen to help strengthen vaginal tissue and address operational difficulties. ThermiVa is safe and capable of enhancing the strength and elasticity of vaginal tissue without a need for surgery or extra downtime. It's an excellent option for women looking to revive the look and functionality of the vaginal region.
Completed by Dr. Anthony as an outpatient procedure, ThermiVa can be finalized in three 15 – 30 minute sessions. The treatment sessions may also have to be spaced a minimum of one month apart. For the actual procedure, the ThermiVa wand is placed just above the outside region of the vagina and inserted into the inner vagina. The handpiece has an integrated thermometer to monitor the temperature to manage the safety of your vaginal tissue. After the session, patients need to avoid intercourse for no less than a day but otherwise may continue their regular activities.
An ideal candidate for ThermiVa is a woman with light to moderate vaginal laxity. It's also a perfect option for those unsure about having more kids and who wish to avoid the recovery that accompanies a surgery. As an ideal candidate for ThermiVa, you should probably be at least three months post-partum from your most recent childbirth, be finished having children, have a decrease in sexual pleasure, and also have loose outer or inner vaginal tissue.
Women that choose ThermiVa should expect to notice results about three weeks after their final session. Though follow-up sessions might be required, effects can last up to two years. The outcome will be altered if the patient gets pregnant or gives birth vaginally after the procedure.
The cost of ThermiVa may vary from patient to patient depending on how many treatment sessions are required to gain results. Once your customized treatment plan has been created, we will be able to discuss the specific price of your ThermiVa treatments. We will also be able to answer any questions you have about your out-of-pocket costs.
ThermiVa is more ideal for women who are unsure about having more children since it is less expensive, less time consuming, and requires no recovery period. While ThermiVa is a beneficial treatment option for women who have mild to moderate vaginal skin laxity, it may not be the best option for women with severe loose skin. A labiaplasty is a surgical removal of the excess skin in the vaginal area and may be better suited for women with significant vaginal skin laxity.
For optimal results, a series of three ThermiVa treatments spaced about a month apart is recommended. Following the three initial treatments, annual touch-up treatments may be necessary to help maintain results. Additionally, the natural aging process, significant weight changes, pregnancy, and childbirth can affect results.
By creating a tighter vaginal area, ThermiVa can also treat several other problems that can occur through aging and other factors. ThermiVa is designed to reduce vaginal laxity as well as vulvar or labial laxity to tighten the labial tissues and minimize any sagging. It can also decrease vaginal dryness and stress incontinence to reduce any leakage, accidents, or urge symptoms. Additionally, ThermiVa can treat sexual or orgasmic dysfunction by helping to heighten sensitivity and increase the ability to achieve orgasms.
ThermiVa uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat up the deep layers of the skin from inside the body. Using more controlled and carefully monitored delivery of energy right where it is needed most allows the tissues to be tightened underneath the skin. With radiofrequency energy, there is much less discomfort for the patient and superior results are achieved.
