ThermiVa is a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment that uses radiofrequency to improve your sexual health. This hand-held device emits thermistor-regulated radiofrequency energy that gently and safely cause the tissue to contract and tighten.
ThermiVa is a radiofrequency treatment that helps tighten the skin of the vagina without surgery. Due to the sensitivity of the treatment area, ThermiVa is thermally controlled, which means there is limited heat used during the procedure. Radiofrequency helps tighten skin and tissues by using radio waves that penetrate the skin to the collagen-producing layers. It then delivers heat and energy to promote collagen production and skin tightening.
Radiofrequency is also used for other skin-tightening procedures on the face and body. It is a first-line treatment for addressing the earliest signs of skin laxity and aging. However, unlike with other radiofrequency treatments, vaginal rejuvenation in Seattle can also help improve certain symptoms experienced due to age or childbirth. Seattle Plastic Surgery provides the best ThermiVa Seattle offers.
ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation does address the aesthetic appearance of the labia. Due to reduced collagen production and having children, the skin of the labia can become stretched and lax. Some women are bothered by these aesthetic changes. However, changes in appearance due to age, pregnancy, and giving birth can cause certain urinary and vaginal symptoms. ThermiVa may also be able to provide some treatment for these concerns. Conditions ThermiVa may address include:
ThermiVa is a non-hormonal treatment. Often, hormone therapy is recommended for patients experiencing some of the above symptoms. However, for various reasons, they may not be viable for everyone. ThermiVa offers a safe, non-hormonal alternative.
Yes, ThermiVa is considered safe. The treatment is FDA-approved, and it uses radiofrequency, which is generally considered a safe and effective therapy. Radiofrequency is also widely used across the body for skin and tissue tightening.
ThermiVa differs from Mona Lisa Touch treatment because it uses radiofrequency energy instead of a CO2 laser. Both treatments can be effective when used on the right patient and they each can address concerns that the other cannot. Otherwise, they are very similar procedures. A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the outer or inner labia lips. This does not involve any internal treatment to the vagina and it addresses only the outer appearance of the genitals.
Using the ThermiVa wand, your provider will begin ThermiVa treatment by applying radiofrequency to the labia and outer structures of the genitals. Then, your provider will insert the wand into the vagina to deliver targeted radiofrequency to the internal tissues. Overall, patients generally do not find this process painful, but some discomfort may occur due to the placement of the wand for twenty to thirty minutes. Patients may also feel some limited warmth.
The combination of radio waves and controlled heat helps promote collagen production and the tightening of existing tissues. ThermiVa Seattle is a completely non-surgical procedure.
ThermiVa may be able to achieve the improvement of various vaginal symptoms of aging. Using radiofrequency energy, ThermiVa treatment can help tighten the vagina. It may also help restore healthy vaginal moisture, which can be reduced due to age as well. Patients may consider undergoing non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation with other therapies to help promote the best possible results.
Because Seattle ThermiVa is a non-surgical treatment, most women experiencing symptoms or who are distressed by changes in the appearance of the labia are likely good candidates for treatment. Though, patients should understand that in many cases, ThermiVa is a tool used in conjunction with other treatments to address certain conditions such as urinary incontinence and menopause symptoms. Having realistic expectations and a good understanding of what to expect from non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation is important for prospective patients.
During a consultation with a provider at Seattle Plastic Surgery, they will review your medical history and concerns and may examine the area to determine if you are a good candidate and if ThermiVa is the right treatment based on your anatomy and goals.
ThermiVa is a low-risk treatment and completely non-surgical. Patients who qualify for treatment often see great results from ThermiVa Seattle. It may also help alleviate uncomfortable or painful symptoms, make sex more pleasurable, and enhance body confidence.
As a non-invasive and non-surgical procedure, patients generally do not need to perform any major pre or post-treatment instructions. This may vary depending on the specific treatment and patient, but usually, no major preparations or aftercare are necessary.
ThermiVa comes with no required recovery or downtime. Sometimes patients may experience spotting for a day or so post-treatment, but there is usually limited pain or side effects. Patients can immediately return to their normal activities, such as exercise, sexual activities, and bathing. In some cases, your provider may give you customized instructions based on your treatment and your body’s reaction. Luckily, any changes to lifestyle or routine generally only last about 24 hours before normal activities can resume.
No, patients can generally return to their full range of activities following ThermiVa treatment. However, depending on the patient’s specific treatment, needs, and medical history, a day of refraining from certain activities such as sex may be recommended. But, patients usually do not need any downtime following ThermiVa treatment.
The final results of ThemiVa will take time to become fully visible. It can take between six and nine months to see the difference. However, it should also be noted that patients generally need more than one treatment to see their goal results. Patients may notice some results relatively quickly depending on their specific treatment and body.

ThermiVa treatment—while it can help address the effects of aging—cannot stop aging. Therefore, patients may notice the appearance of their labia or other symptoms recur after several years. Patients can undergo touch-up treatments once or twice a year to help maintain their results for as long as possible.
Patients tend to be extremely satisfied with their ThermiVa Seattle, which usually produces results within a few months. The exact extent of the results will depend on the specifics of the treatment and concerns. However, most patients see at least some positive effects from treatment.
ThermiVa typically does not cause long-term or major side effects. Occasionally, some spotting, minor swelling, or minor discomfort may occur. However, these side effects usually do not require treatment and can be resolved on their own.
ThermiVa can have many surprising benefits, but in some cases, it can help improve urinary incontinence despite being a labial and vaginal treatment. With that said, other therapies are often needed in ongoing treatment for urinary incontinence.
Three sessions are often considered the ideal for ThermiVa treatment. However, this will vary from patient to patient.
While there may not be any studies directly linking an adverse relationship between ThermiVa and breastfeeding, our providers tend to err on the side of caution and do not perform most procedures on breastfeeding patients.
It is extremely unlikely that RF energy would have any negative effects on breast milk. However, when breastfeeding, hormones can impact the skin and its reactions to treatments like ThermiVa. Therefore, most of the time, our providers prefer that patients wait until they are done nursing to commence ThermiVa treatment.
No, patients can continue their hormone therapies during ThermiVa treatment in Seattle.
Other than possible spotting following treatment, ThermiVa should otherwise not affect your menstrual cycle.
As long as you have an up-to-date PAP smear, generally, there is no reason to get one. While not technically required, patients without an up-to-date result may consider undergoing a PAP smear before treatment, but this is not usually necessary.
Yes, because IUDs are placed in the uterus and ThermiVa does not go beyond the vagina, patients with a properly placed IUD can undergo ThermiVa treatment without issue.
For the initial round of treatment, patients may be safe to undergo a ThermiVa session every month. However, after the initial treatment, patients may undergo ThermiVa treatment every six to twelve months.
