Which one works better and has longer lasting results? I'm a 31 year old and looking for some vaginal rejuvenation (more tightness, urinary incontinence, sexual sensitivity).

Answer: What's the difference between ThermiVa RF and CO2 laser ablation Thermiva is a radiofrequency device. It heats the skin to 42C slowly and this stimulates collagen formation. CO2 nonsurgical lasers burn microscopic holes into the skin and this stimulates collagen. They do the same thing using different thermal technologies. Both produce temporary results because collagen is not a permanent structure. However, urinary incontinence doesn't happen because you lack collagen. It is multifactorial regardless of what country you live in and although the safety profile of all of these devices is excellent, it doesn't mean that they will necessarily work for you. I would recommend you visit an expert in treating incontinence to make sure that your issue can't be fixed with something even more simple and much more inexpensive and likely covered by your medical insurance before jumping into these treatments for the reasons you stated. See your gynecologist to get started.

Answer: ThermiVa vs MonaLisa Touch ThermiVa is a radiofrequency device utilizing thermal (heat) energy to target cell growth. It’s comfortable and has absolutely no downtime. ThermiVa is FDA approved for vaginal and labia majora tightening. Many patients also report increased sensitivity, lubrication/moisture and stimulation, in addition to relief from incontinence, but it’s primary function is vaginal tightening. Based on what symptoms you would like to address, ThermiVa is likely the better option for you. MonaLisa Touch is a CO2 fractional laser that uses ablative techniques to revitalize the vaginal mucosa (tissue) to create more collagen. MonaLisa Touch is FDA approved to treat vaginal atrophy, including vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. MonaLisa Touch treats vaginal dryness, burning, discomfort and itching along with painful intercourse due to loss of elasticity.

Answer: RF vs Co2 Vaginal Rejuvenation Thank you so much for your question. All clinicians will have their preferences; however, in my practice we use Femtouch Co2. We believe that our patients receive optimal and longer lasting results. Our protocol is three treatments for most patients 6 -8 weeks apart, and a maintenance treatment once yearly. I highly recommend that you see your OB/Gyn to determine what the best treatment plan would be for you. Best wishes

Answer: ThermiVa or Co2--Vaginal Rejuvenation, O-Shot, Ultrafemme ThermiVA uses radiofrequency heating for skin tightening, while Co2 is a laser that stimulates collagen by burning small holes in the skin. But for tightening, skin removal, sexual satisfaction, moisture we do this everyday with success. It's best in a combination: 1) surgery if there is loose tissue or tightening needed 2) radiofrequency tightening for long term maintenance -- ThermiVa, BTL UItrafemme in series of 3-6 then every 3 months 3) one treatment every 6 months with laser internal tightening for moisture and drippage/leaking -- Juliet procedure 4) O shot / orgasm / clit shot to increase sexual satisfaction -- once monthly for 3 months then every 3-6 months as needed or desired Best, Dr. Emer
