I have incontinence and want tightening - is Thermiva right for me?

Hello, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Thermiva is a non-surgical procedure to treat and tighten the internal and external tissue of the labia and vagina. One of the benefits of Thermiva is that is does help treat incontinence, and helps improve the laxity of the vaginal tissues. It’s essential to have a thorough consultation with a provider.. They can assess your specific situation and help determine if ThermiVa is the right treatment for you.

Thermiva has several benefits. Thermiva specifically targets vaginal tightening for interior and exterior tissue. Thermiva also increases natural production of moisture which leads to less painful intercourse with more sensitivity , allowing a more pleasurable experience for a woman. While although Thermiva has been shown to help with reducing urinary leakage and urgency, it is not specifically geared towards it. Some women have experienced a change with incontinence while some not so much. Generally, we put urinary incontinence at the bottom of the list of benefits solely because it is not meant to target the issue but has been shown to help improve it in some women.

Thank you for your questionThermiva does two things: it increases colog tissue and increases blood supply. These two affects address four internal issues: 1) because of the collagen , movement of the urethra is restricted which can significantly reduce stress incontinence( losing urine when coughing or sneezing) 2) It also helps urge incontinence probably due to improved blood supply3) Increase blood supply helps treat dryness4) The cologen makes the vagina stiffer so while it does not reduce the vaginal size the stiffness gives some resistance, reduces stretching and can give the sensation of being a little tighter.
