Vaginal Rejuvenation (ThermiVa)
Many women develop intimate issues after childbirth, as well as during and after menopause. These can vary from vaginal laxity (looseness) caused by childbirth to long-term vaginal atrophy, causing itching and dryness as well as pain during intercourse as hormonal changes cause the tissues to thin. Another common problem for women as they age is urinary incontinence, also caused by a reduction in muscle tone in the genital area and the pelvic floor.
It can be difficult to talk to your doctor about these issues. However, there are vaginal rejuvenation treatments that can greatly improve your quality of life. The knowledge that you’re not alone in your experiences and that there’s something you can do about it can make it easier to broach the subject with your doctor. This is the first step toward deciding on the appropriate vaginoplasty or vaginal rejuvenation treatment.
In the past, women have had to resort to invasive and painful vaginoplasty surgery to improve severe incontinence, or have needed to take hormones to improve vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and other side effects of menopause. Today’s technology, though, offers ThermiVa, a new, painless treatment that can give you almost immediate results. Rejuvé offers this innovative, minimally invasive ThermiVa treatment to our patients in Los Gatos, Saratoga, Campbell, Cupertino, Los Altos, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and the greater San Jose Bay Area, CA. ThermiVa treatment provides the latest technology for women’s sexual health and vaginal rejuvenation, and is the closest thing to women’s Viagra.
What issues can ThermiVa treat?
The most common problems addressed with ThermiVa include:
- Urinary incontinence
- Loose vaginal tissue
- Vaginal dryness
- Vaginal atrophy
- Painful intercourse
- Decreased sexual response
- Decreased genital sensitivity
- Sagging in the outer labia, or labia majora
In the past, women have had to endure complex vaginoplasty surgery or long-term hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to receive relief from these symptoms. With ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation, one simple treatment can provide results almost immediately without vaginoplasty surgery, hospital stays, or long recovery periods, usually associated with vaginoplasty.
How does ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation work?
ThermiVa is an electrocoagulation treatment that uses carefully applied radio-frequency (RF) energy. This RF energy creates heat that gently stimulates collagen growth in the genital area, both internally and externally. It stimulates blood flow and rejuvenates the delicate tissues. The result is tighter, firmer tissue where before you were experiencing looseness and atrophy. Increased blood flow can also increase sexual sensitivity and response, making it easier for you to become aroused and reach climax.

This rejuvenation of the vaginal tissues can also positively affect the muscles and tissue around your urethra, increasing your ability to control your bladder and reducing urinary incontinence.
The ThermiVa treatment is administered in your doctor’s office using a slim wand. The wand allows your doctor to deliver the radiofrequency energy to specific areas, both inside your vagina and the outer labia as necessary. ThermiVa heats tissues slowly and gently, then maintains the optimal temperature for comfortable, effective treatment. Unlike laser vaginal rejuvenation and surgical vaginoplasty treatments, it requires no anesthetic.
What are the advantages of the ThermiVa treatment?
ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation does not involve vaginoplasty or surgery. The treatment can be administered easily and discreetly in your doctor’s office. You will see and feel results almost immediately. Over the next two or three weeks, the changes will become even more noticeable. Dr. Tang recommends three treatments over a period of 3 months for optimal results. This treatment schedule can restore your enjoyment of sex and bring intimacy back to the life you share with your partner.
What is the difference between ThermiVa treatment and other devices that do vaginal rejuvenation?
Compared to CO2 lasers used in the past for vaginal rejuvenation, ThermiVa uses considerably less power and a much lower heat threshold. The temperature controlled technology used maintains temperatures maintained at 40-45 degrees Celsius. Carefully maintaining these temperatures allows for tissue tightening without discomfort. The results of the treatment are much more consistent and reliable, as well. Unlike previous laser devices that required numbing, was painful, and required a number of restrictions and downtime, there is no downtime after a ThermiVa treatment; no need for anesthesia, and no restrictions on returning to normal sexual activity after treatment.
What are some contraindications of the treatment?
Patients who are pregnant or have an active sexual transmitted disease or bladder infection should not have the treatment. Patients who have any active pelvic, ovarian, or uterine cancer should not have the treatment as well. In addition, because ThermiVa is an RF device, patients who have any implantable cardiac device such as a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator should not have the procedure.
