Can you get Thermiva if you have a blood clot history and are on blood thinners currently?
Answer: Thermiva and blood thinners Thanks for asking your question. Blood thinners do not automatically bar you from getting Thermiva. Thermiva is non-surgical and doesn't break the skin. That being said, I would recommend seeing your physician and giving him your complete medical history so that you and he together and come up with the best plan for you. Good luck.

Answer: ThermiVa with Blood Thinners/History of Blood Clots Thank you for asking such an important question. There is no contraindication for having ThermiVa Treatments either with a history of blood clots or while currently taking blood thinners. ThermiVa treatments do not increase your risk of clotting and the treatment does not break the skin, so blood thinners are not a problem. There are certain implanted cardiac devices that are sometimes used with blood thinners and are a contraindication with ThermiVa, so be sure to tell your provider about all your medical conditions. Good luck to you.

Answer: ThermiVa safe with blood thinners You may have the ThermiVa procedure while on blood thinners. It is a radiofrequency device that uses thermal energy and does not involve any cutting of the tissue. There are no contraindications with the use of ThermiVa and blood clots nor blood thinners. The procedure is very safe and comfortable. Best, Dr Chughtai
