I am seriously considering vagina rejuvenation. I have had 3 kids all before 28 and my gyn doc insist everything is normal down there. While I know everything is normal, I would like to have a tighter vagina. I would like to feel my husband penis like I use to before kids. Now it seems looser at 38 than even 2 years ago. I was reading on thermiva and I was wondering if it was something I should consider and if it actually works to tighten vagina muscles compared to other options..surgical?

Answer: Tighter yes, but its not the muscles Kegel exercises will strengthen your pelvic musculature but thats not how ThermiVa works. It works by applying controlled heat to the mucosa of your vagina which shrinks the tissues. Its minimally intrusive, painfree and, in the world of cosmetic procedures, fairly cheap. Hope you'll schedule an appointment with a doc in your area to discuss your interest. Good luck

Answer: ThermiVa for Vaginal Tightening ThermiVa works by delivering radiofrequency (thermal energy) via a small probe to both the internal vaginal canal and the external labia. The tissue is heated to specific temperatures, encouraging the growth of new collagen, increased blood flow and improved nerve supply. ThermiVa is FDA approved for skin tightening, however, patients also report increased sensation, moisture and improvement in symptoms of stress urinary incontinence. The ThermiVa can certainly improve the laxity of your vagina, but keep in mind that unlike surgery the ThermiVa does not change the amount of skin or tighten muscles. I always tell my patients that it would be comparable to a face lift vs botox injections. Yes, you will see improvement in skin laxity, but it is a non-invasive procedure so results won’t be as drastic. I would recommend that you consult with an experienced physician who specializes in cosmetic gynecological procedures to guide you, based on your medical history and physical exam. Cheers!

Answer: Options for vaginal rejuvenation Thanks for your question -Female vaginal health is something that has long been neglected - There are multiple potential solutions for vaginal laxity. It is completely normal to have a change in vaginal tone after childbirth. Traditionally surgery has been a mainstay in vaginal rejuvenation and is certainly effective. More recent treatments include laser ablation of the vaginal vault and ThermiVA.The downside to surgery and laser is they are procedures that typically require downtime, recovery and anesthesia for pain control. ThermiVA has the advantage of avoiding these down sides.See your plastic surgeon to discuss which treatment is right for you!
