ThermiVa is an in-office, non-surgical procedure for skin tightening, used for dermatologic conditions. A radio frequency generator, made by Thermi Aesthetics powers an “S” shaped handpiece that tightens external and internal vulvovaginal tissue via a thermistor tip which can control heat delivered.
As women get older and levels of estrogen decline, they experience unexpected vaginal changes that cause health problems and affect their sex life. ThermiVa® offers a gentle and effective solution – without surgery or downtime. It is a great option for patients with vaginal atrophy.
VAGINAL ATROPHY
Vaginal atrophy develops when estrogen levels go down. Estrogen is essential for vaginal health – it keeps tissues lining the vagina elastic and maintains adequate blood flow and lubrication. When your ovaries stop producing estrogen at menopause – or when estrogen levels decline for any health reason – vaginal walls become dry, lose elasticity, and thin out.
It is estimated that half of all women develop vaginal atrophy after menopause. These changes cause symptoms that affect personal and sexual health such as:
- Vaginal dryness
- Painful intercourse
- Vaginal burning
- Genital itching
- Pain or burning during urination
- Urinary incontinence
