ThermiVa® in Atlanta, GA

The effects of pregnancy, genetics, childbirth, menopause, and the natural aging process can cause vaginal skin laxity, vaginal dryness, decreases in sexual sensation, along with other concerns. Atlanta, GA plastic surgeon Dr. John Connors is proud to offer ThermiVa to treat these unpleasant symptoms. As a nonsurgical treatment performed by Dr. Connors, ThermiVa uses radiofrequency energy to revive collagen to help tighten vaginal tissue and treat functional difficulties. ThermiVa is both safe and effective at improving the elasticity and strength of vaginal tissue without any surgery or additional downtime. It is a great solution for those wanting to restore both the appearance and functionality of the vaginal area.

The best candidate for ThermiVa is a patient with mild to moderate vaginal skin laxity. It is also an ideal solution for women unsure about having more children and who want to avoid the downtime of surgery. Ideally, a candidate for ThermiVa will be at least 2 – 3 months post-partum from childbirth, be finished with planned pregnancies, have a drop in sexual sensations, and have loose external or internal vaginal tissue.

Performed as an in-office procedure, ThermiVa is administered in three 15 – 30 minute sessions. The sessions will also need to be timed at least one month apart. For the actual treatment, the ThermiVa wand is positioned over the external area of the vagina and then gently inserted into the internal area. The wand has a built-in thermometer to control the temperature to ensure the safety of your skin. Following the treatment, patients should avoid sex for at least a day but otherwise can continue their normal activities.

Patients who receive ThermiVa can expect to see results about 2 – 3 weeks following their final treatment. Though follow-up treatments may be needed, results can last around two years. The results will be affected if the patient becomes pregnant or has a natural childbirth following the treatment.

With ThermiVa, women no longer have to suffer from loose vaginal tissue or functional difficulties. There is no downtime needed, unlike with surgical approaches for vaginal tightening. Feel more confident after your ThermiVa treatment as your internal and/or external vaginal area becomes firmer.
