THERMIVA
A MINIMALLY INVASIVE PAIN-FREE ALTERNATIVE TO VAGINAL REJUVENATION SURGERY.
ThermiVa is an in office, nonsurgical, pain-free procedure for vaginal laxity, decreased sexual sensation and labia majora rejuvenation. ThermiVa treatments use radiofrequency energy to gently heat the internal (vaginal) and external (vulvar) tissue to restore, revive and rejuvenate feminine wellness. Three 30-minute in-office treatment sessions will help to restore vaginal / vulvar tone and function enhancing friction and sensation during intercourse. Peri / Post-menopausal women may also have improved vaginal lubrication and increased clitoral sensitivity following treatment.
ThermiVa is very similar to other non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment options such as the Mona-Lisa Touch, or the FemiLift, however Dr. Miklos and Moore feel ThermiVa is the safest and gives the best non-surgical results compared to other non-surgical treatment options.
