What is the ThermiVa Procedure?
ThermiVa® Feminine Rejuvenation: A Non-Surgical Approach to Vaginal RejuvenationThermiVa® is a revolutionary non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for vaginal rejuvenation that has gained popularity in recent years. This innovative procedure uses temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy to address various feminine health concerns, offering women a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgical methods.
ThermiVa helps retighten and renew vaginal and labial tissues, it allows women to take their life back and enjoy more confidence and convenience in their daily lives.
How ThermiVa Works
ThermiVa utilizes a slim, S-shaped treatment probe designed specifically for vaginal application. The probe features a postage stamp-sized radiofrequency emitter on its ventral tip, which delivers controlled heat to both internal and external vaginal tissues.
This gentle heating process stimulates the body's natural collagen production, leading to improved tissue elasticity, increased blood flow, and enhanced vaginal function.
The treatment works by passing radiofrequency current through the skin, creating resistance that generates heat. This controlled heating causes therapeutic damage to the tissues, resulting in:
- Denaturation and contraction of existing collagen
- Activation of fibroblasts
- Increased blood flow
- Neocollagenesis (formation of new collagen)
These effects collectively contribute to the rejuvenation of vulvovaginal tissues, resulting in improved vaginal tightness, lubrication, and overall function.
ThermiVa Process
What You’ll Experience During a ThermiVa Treatment
A typical ThermiVa treatment session lasts approximately 30 minutes and is performed in-office without the need for anesthesia.
The procedure is generally described as painless, with most women reporting a warm, relaxing sensation during the treatment.
The treatment is divided into two parts:
- External application: 10-15 minutes spent treating the vulvar, labial, and clitoral tissues. ThermiVa tightens the external labial tissues to reduce sagging, resulting in noticeably softer and smoother skin. Patients experience more comfort in tight clothing and feel less self-conscience in yoga pants and bikinis.
- Internal application: 10-15 minutes spent treating the vaginal canal. ThermiVa tightens the opening and the full length of the vagina, reducing laxity that is noticeable to patient and partner
One of our nurse practioners will apply a conductive gel facilitate the procedure. A slim Thermiva wand, which is .5” in diameter, is carefully glided over the treatment area for 20-30 minutes. The procedure is completely painless - all you’ll feel is a gentle warming sensation as the radiofrequency heat is transferred to the target tissue. The ThermiVa wand is designed to maintain a precise temperature to prevent burning or discomfort.
This controlled heating causes therapeutic damage to the tissues, resulting in:
- Denaturation and contraction of existing collagen
- Activation of fibroblasts
- Increased blood flow
- Neocollagenesis (formation of new collagen)
These effects collectively contribute to the rejuvenation of vulvovaginal tissues, resulting in improved vaginal tightness, lubrication, and overall function.
Most treatment plans consist of three initial sessions, spaced one month apart. To maintain the effects, patients typically require a maintenance treatment every 9-12 months.
The procedure is elective and no referral is needed. Simply contact us to schedule a consultation. Looking for a comprehensive treatment plan? ThermiVa can be combined with Hormone Therapy and/or an O-Shot. Talk to your provider to learn more.
After Your ThermiVa Treatments
After your ThermiVa treatments, you can return to normal activities as soon as you walk out the door. There is no downtime with ThermiVa. You can exercise, have sex, go swimming, and resume all your normal activities right away. In rare cases, light spotting may occur after treatment. If you experience spotting, wait a day or two before swimming or getting into a hot tub.
The ThermiVa radiofrequency heat provides instant restructuring of the college matrix, causing the tissue to tighten up right away. You may feel results the same day as your first treatment. As collagen rebuilds, the results only improve, with the optimal results occurring a few weeks after your third and final treatment.
ThermiVa Safety and Side Effects
ThermiVa has demonstrated an excellent safety profile, with minimal reported side effects. The treatment's temperature-controlled radiofrequency technology ensures that the heat delivered to the tissues remains within safe limits, reducing the risk of burns or tissue damage.
Most patients experience no significant side effects following ThermiVa treatments. Some women may notice mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area, but these effects typically resolve quickly without intervention. Others may experience mild cramping in the first 24 hours after a ThermiVa treatment or have light spotting directly after their treatment.
Long-Term Results and Maintenance
The results of ThermiVa treatments can be long-lasting, with many women reporting improvements that persist for a year or more after their initial treatment series.
However, as with any non-surgical cosmetic procedure, the effects of ThermiVa are not permanent and may gradually diminish over time.To maintain the benefits of ThermiVa, most providers recommend annual maintenance treatments. The frequency of these maintenance sessions may vary depending on individual factors such as age, lifestyle, and the severity of the initial concerns.
ThermiVa offers a safe, effective, and non-invasive solution for women seeking vaginal rejuvenation and relief from various vulvovaginal symptoms. By harnessing the power of radiofrequency energy, this innovative treatment can address a wide range of concerns, from vaginal laxity and dryness to urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. As with any medical procedure, it's crucial for women considering ThermiVa to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if the treatment is appropriate for their individual needs and goals. With its minimal downtime, lack of significant side effects, and impressive results, ThermiVa represents a promising advancement in the field of feminine rejuvenation.

ThermiVa Benefits
ThermiVa offers a wide range of benefits for women experiencing various vaginal and urinary issues. Some of the key advantages include:
Vaginal Tightening and Rejuvenation
ThermiVa effectively addresses vaginal laxity, which can occur due to childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes. The ThermiVa treatment increases collagen production which helps tighten and rejuvenate vaginal tissues, leading to improved sexual function and satisfaction.
Improved Lubrication and Vaginal Dryness
By stimulating collagen production and increasing blood flow, ThermiVa can help alleviate symptoms of vaginal dryness and improve natural lubrication. This is particularly beneficial for women experiencing vaginal atrophy due to menopause or other hormonal changes.
Enhanced Sexual Function
Many women report improved sexual function following ThermiVa treatments, including increased sensitivity, easier arousal, and enhanced orgasmic function. Some studies have shown that women who had previously lost the ability to achieve orgasms were able to regain this function after treatment.
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) Improvement
ThermiVa has shown promising results in treating mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence. By strengthening and tightening the tissues surrounding the urethra, the treatment can help reduce involuntary urine leakage during activities such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
Overactive Bladder Symptom Reduction
Bladder leakage, or urinary incontinence, is a common concern among women, particularly following childbirth or during menopause. This condition can make activities like running or walking challenging due to the fear of unexpected leakage. ThermiVa® offers a potential solution by the stimulating collagen production and enhancing tissue elasticity. This process can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and support the urethra, thereby reducing instances of stress urinary incontinence.
Many women have reported that after undergoing ThermiVa® treatments, they can engage in their preferred physical activities without the worry of bladder leakage.
Cosmetic Improvements
ThermiVa can also address cosmetic concerns related to the external genitalia. The treatment can help improve the appearance of the labia majora, resulting in a fuller, more youthful-looking vulva.
Between childbirth and menopause, a woman’s vagina goes through a number of changes, and not all of them are welcome. Hormonal changes, as well as the physical stretching and trauma related to childbirth, can cause a woman’s vaginal tissues to lose the elasticity and tightness they once had - leading to a wide variety of annoying issues. ThermiVa helps retighten and renew vaginal and labial tissues, so women can enjoy more confidence and convenience in the bedroom and in their daily lives.
Vaginal Laxity is Common - and Treatable
Are you experiencing decreased vaginal tone, sensation or satisfaction? This is called vaginal laxity...and you are not alone. As many as 75% of women develop symptoms of vaginal laxity at some point in their lives, but it’s an underreported and under-talked-about issue. For some women, lack of tightness can be due to genetics, aging or an event (most commonly childbirth).
Vaginal laxity is the feeling of “looseness” that often occurs after pregnancy, vaginal childbirth or menopause. Symptoms of vaginal laxity include:
- Decreased sexual pleasure
- Loss of sensation with intercourse
- Reduced lubrication
- Urinary leakage (stress incontinence, like peeing a little when you cough or sneeze)
- Vulvar sagging
Pregnancy and childbirth are hard on a woman’s body. The weight of carrying a baby, as well as its journey through the birth canal, can cause stretching and trauma to the vagina to a degree that Mother Nature cannot heal all on its own. Though most vaginas “snap back” like a rubber band after birth, many, many women find that the rubber band isn’t as tight as it was before birth.
Aging is also a cause of vaginal laxity. The tissues of the vagina and vulva will eventually start to lose elasticity, stretch, and sag just like the skin on our face and arms. This is caused by the decreasing production of collagen, the component in our skin that keeps it supple and springy.
So many women believe that “life after childbirth” or “life after menopause” just includes inconveniences like less sensation during intercourse or the occasional urinary leak - but that’s not true anymore! ThermiVa has been used in thousands treatments worldwide to tighten the vaginal tissues and relieve these annoying, and sometimes life-altering, symptoms.
Ideal Candidates
ThermiVa is suitable for a wide range of women experiencing various vulvovaginal issues. Ideal candidates include:
- Women who have experienced vaginal laxity due to childbirth or aging

- Women seeking non-hormonal alternatives to traditional treatments
- Patients who prefer non-surgical options for vaginal rejuvenation
It's important to note that ThermiVa is not recommended for pregnant women or those with active vaginal infections or certain medical conditions. A thorough consultation with a qualified healthcare provider is essential to determine if ThermiVa is the right treatment option for an individual.
Advantages Over Other Treatments
