About THERMIva^™

THERMIva^™, a pioneering radio frequency apparatus, was created by Dr. Red Alinsod, a urogynecologist from Laguna Beach. Dr. Alinsod collaborated with Thermi, a global manufacturer specializing in radio frequency technology, to introduce ThermiVa to the market. THERMIva™ represents a non-invasive therapy that employs radiofrequency energy to gently warm tissue, all without causing discomfort or requiring downtime. This innovative treatment empowers women to regain their zest for life, rejuvenate their bodies to a more youthful state, and rekindle excitement.

Over time, vaginal tissue and surrounding muscles can lose their elasticity and strength due to factors such as childbirth, aging, trauma, or genetics. Thermi, an FDA-approved, in-office, non-surgical device, is utilized for dermatological concerns like loose and sagging skin, dryness, and decreased sensitivity. In Europe, ThermiVa holds a CE Mark, signifying its approval for addressing vulvovaginal laxity.

Am I a Candidate for ThermiVa?

If you're an adult and meet any of the following criteria, you could be eligible for ThermiVa treatment:

• You experience urinary leakage or stress incontinence.
• You suffer from vaginal or labia dryness due to menopause.
• You have pelvic organ prolapse, specifically at stage two or lower, such as a fallen bladder or rectum, or you struggle with retaining tampons.
• You encounter sexual dysfunction or issues related to orgasm.
• You feel vaginal laxity and experience a sensation of looseness or rubbing.
• You're dissatisfied with the appearance of your labia.

ThermiVa is not recommended if you're using any cardiac devices, are pregnant, have any active infections or had recent vaginal surgery.

What to Expect from ThermiVa

For those eligible for ThermiVa, we typically recommend a series of three treatments, scheduled every four to six weeks, to achieve the best results. Afterward, an annual maintenance treatment is advisable, although the specific plan may vary based on your individual requirements.

ThermiVa utilizes radiofrequency energy to gently warm tissue, stimulating collagen rejuvenation without causing discomfort or necessitating downtime. The procedure typically lasts around 30 minutes and usually doesn't require anesthesia.

Immediate tightening sensations may be noticeable after each treatment, with further enhancements becoming apparent over time. Notably, some individuals experiencing incontinence may observe reduced urinary leakage shortly after ThermiVa. Research has indicated that morning ThermiVa sessions can lead to reduced stress incontinence later that evening. For those dealing with vaginal dryness, moisture levels may significantly improve within two weeks, though additional progress may occur after subsequent sessions. It's advisable to discuss any concerns you have about the outcomes with your healthcare provider.

Following ThermiVa treatments, you might experience temporary skin redness, mild swelling, and warmth, which should typically subside within an hour of the procedure. Mild cramping may also occur but is expected to resolve within 24 hours. Some individuals may notice light spotting immediately after the treatment.

Generally, you should be able to resume normal physical and sexual activities post-treatment, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider. You can also swim, bathe, or use a hot tub immediately afterward, unless you experience spotting or mild bleeding.
