ThermiVa is a fast, non-invasive, non-ablative treatment that delivers physician-controlled radiofrequency energy, using a carefully designed handle to slightly heat the tissue.
ThermiVa is a ground-breaking device that tackles problems in the area of genitalia, such as vaginal cosmetics issues and even light incontinence. It is a new revolutionary method that is the first thermally controlled, non-invasive procedure to tighten the inner canal of the vagina and of the outer labia. ThermiVa plays a key role in the overall cosmetic and functionality of a woman and therefore in her psychology.
The innovative ThermiVa device safely uses radio frequencies to shrink tissues in and around the vagina. Using the energy of radiofrequencies, the skin is heated to stimulate and rebuild your body’s collagen and elastin naturally. The combination of which effectively contributes to the tightening of the affected areas.
BENEFITS
- Vaginal (internal) tightening: ThermiVa tightens the vagina at the opening and full length of the vagina, reducing the laxity felt by the patient and partner.
- Vulva Tightening (Vulva / Labial External): ThermiVa tightens the outer labia.
- Reduced dryness: ThermiVa causes a new dilation of collagen fibres and fibroblasts are stimulated to produce new molecules, resulting in a significant increase in the density of the dermis and more moisture both internally and externally. For those who experience vaginal dryness or atrophic vaginitis, ThermiVa makes daily life and intercourse more comfortable without the use of hormones.
- Reduced incontinence: Women who are diagnosed with exertional incontinence may avoid surgical repair in their vagina after treatment.
- Increased sexual satisfaction: Patients gain increased sensitivity at the vagina, more coordinated and stronger muscle contractions and the ability to achieve stronger orgasms in a shorter period of time.
DURATION
- Each session lasts 20 minutes.
- A complete treatment protocol consists of 3 treatments.
- Treatment intervals: Once per month.
- You can return to normal activities, including sexual intercourse, immediately after treatment.
