Viveve Treatment

I was researching for procedures that would help alleviate my severe dyspareunia and stress urinary incontinence symptoms caused by early menopause. I just knew that I could not continue to live with these issues. Sex had been nonexistent, the closest attempt resembling broken glass. After several months of casually looking around and researching I decided to consult Dr. Dupont in Chevy Chase, MD. The manager, Irini introduced me to Viveve. Viveve is a non-surgical vaginal procedure that works in just 1 treatment. I was familiar with similar procedures that use radio-frequency technology to promote tissue rejuvenation by applying thermal energy. Irini was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. Most importantly, I felt I was in good hands. The procedure was an in-office procedure and took about an hour. Irini made an otherwise very stressful situation feel like a spa treatment. From the custom music playlist, to the soft blanket that envelops your body so that you don't feel exposed, to the care with which she treats you, to the spanky humor you sometimes desperately need. Let's face it, no one is comfortable doing the spread eagle, but somehow I was. I could feel the heat and cool alternating and I'm so grateful for that; knowing how sensitive I was there was no way I would have tolerated just the heat and would have potentially stopped the treatment midway through. But because of that, I was not only able to tolerate it, but I'm going to repeat the treatment in about a year. It has been about 4 months since my procedure and I'm happy to report that my incontinence has been gone! Sex has been dramatically improved. And let me give you some advise. Snatch the Víveve gel used for the application. It makes the most fantastic personal lubricant. I'm so happy that I took a step towards improving my quality of life. I'm not one to write reviews, but if I can help someone change their life as well, then I'm all for it. If you have been experiencing similar issues, what are you waiting for?
