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: Vaginal tightening: ThermiVA vs Surgery It depends on your situation. As a certified ThermiVA trainer in the Atlanta area, I have trained many doctors on how to safely use ThermiVA and we have the most experience with ThermiVA in Atlanta, Georgia. ThermiVA is safe. It is a non-surgical temperature controlled vaginal tightening device using radiofrequency (RF) energy. ThermiVA is performed in the office using only local anesthesia. There is no need for sedation or general anesthesia, but available if requested. ThermiVA uses the same technology as ThermTight and ThermiSmooth, which has been used for years in other areas to reduce the effects of aging such as the face, neck, arms, and abdomen. We know it works!For those looking for vaginal tightening procedures, its better to be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon and offered the correct treatment for the problem. ThermiVA is one of the tools we offer. I agree, "if all you have is a hammer..... everything looks like a nail" Do your homework to make sure your plastic surgeon offers other options for your problem and is experienced with RF technology and surgical solution. We offer both and give our patients an honest opinion. Themiva is a wonderful procedure for vaginal tightening for vaginal laxity, stress urinary urgency, orgasmic dysfunction, labial reduction. ThermiVA is the latest technology for vaginal rejuvenation without surgery, or downtime. The excellent results from Thermiva has been supported by studies, patient testimonial, and numerous reviews. In our certified center, those that are not candidates for ThermiVa are offered other options such as labialplasty or vaginoplasty during the confidential consultation.However, your best plastic surgeon has the experience, training, and results that relates to you. Do your research and find a real Plastic Surgeon and book a paid consultation. Free consults are just a sales pitch and does not work in your best interest. People always say “you get what you pay for”. This is very true in Plastic Surgery. Below are other criteria to use when selecting a Plastic surgeon. Questions to ask your potential plastic surgeon (Answering NO is a big red flag) 1) Are you a plastic surgeon? (You should research the differences between cosmetic surgeon & plastic surgeon. Make sure that your plastic surgeon is a trained surgeon! You may be surprised) 2) Are you board certified in Plastic Surgery? (Board certified in what? You are looking for the American Board of Plastic Surgery. There are many boards and some are fake. Make sure that the certifying board is a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialties or the American Osteopathic Association.) 3) Will the procedure be performed at a fully accredited & certified procedure room or ambulatory surgery center, or hospital 4) Do you have hospital privilege to perform the same procedure you do in the office? Which Hospital? 5) Do you offer complication insurance. How do you handle complications and revision (it does happen, it better to be safe) The most important decision is to do your homework well. Good luck.

Answer: Surgical vs Non-Surgical Vaginal Tightening Surgical tightening produces effective and long-lasting tightening of the vaginal canal. It is the gold standard for tightness. Nothing can make you tighter than a vaginoplasty. However, vaginoplasty only works well if the vaginal supports are intact. If you have damaged vaginal supports, vaginoplasty will not be enough and you will need to have pelvic reconstructive surgery at the same time in order to achieve an excellent result. Non-surgical vaginal tightening will produce temporary vaginal tightening that is not as tight as what can be achieved surgically. Nonetheless, it is an excellent option for women with relatively intact vaginal supports who do not wish to have surgery.

Answer: Thermiva tightening Thermiva is a great way to address your concerns regarding looseness. With Temperature Controlled Radio Frequency Thermiva promotes three different effects; Immediate contraction of collagen, Immediate collagen remodeling and elasticity, Long term stimulation of production of new collagen. When beginning Thermiva you will start with three sessions that are spread out six weeks apart. A lot of women start to notice the effects after the first session. After your third session is completed you would then only do a once a year maintenance session. Sometimes women find that they can hold off longer than a year but it is always recommended to keep up on it.

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!
