THERMIva in Charlotte, NC

Charlotte, NC plastic surgeon, Dr. Vincent Voci, offers THERMIva for women who wish to have vaginal rejuvenation without surgery. This procedure uses radiofrequency technology to reshape the vaginal area into a more tighter appearance, as well as improves overall function. There are many reasons why the appearance of the female genitalia could change, including natural aging, a massive weight loss, childbirth, and menopause. These events can stretch out the skin, tissue, and muscles around the vaginal section creating an unattractive, loose appearance, while at the same time affecting certain natural functions. THERMIva vaginal tightening works to restore your appearance and sensations. THERMIva treatments are performed inside our Charlotte plastic surgery center, and are a quick, painless way to restore laxity and improve dysfunction. THERMIva also stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen, which continues to restore the vaginal area over time. 

THERMIva uses a special wand applicator which may be applied externally to labia and vulvar tissues to restore normal tissue tone and function. The specially designed hand piece may also deliver radio frequency energy inside the vagina to revive atrophic tissue and other internal structures. The procedure is quick and painless, so patients are able to relax during their treatment without anesthesia or sedatives.

There is no downtime with the THERMIva procedure. It is an in-office procedure that can take up to 30 minutes. You will be able to resume all daily activities following the procedure. Three treatments are recommended for optimal results, and most patients will see noticeable improvement after the first or second session.

ThermiVa is designed to treat the vaginal area, including the labia.

• Vaginal laxity: the treatment will tighten the vagina at the opening and the full length of the vagina.
• Vulvar or labial laxity: it will tighten the labial tissues and minimize any sagging (“camel toe”). This will result in more comfort in body-hugging clothing.
• Vaginal dryness: the treatment will create thicker and softer skin and add more moisture both internally and externally to improve daily life and sexual intercourse.
• Stress incontinence: ThermiVa will help reduce any leakage, accidents, or urge symptoms.
• Sexual or orgasmic dysfunction: it can help result in heightened sensitivity, more coordinated and stronger muscular contractions, and ability to achieve orgasms in a shorter amount of time.

ThermiRF is a new FDA approved device that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat up the deep layers of the skin from inside the body. Using more controlled and carefully monitored delivery of energy right where it is needed most, allows or surgeons to tighten the tissues underneath the skin. Because the heat is not delivered on top of the skin, there is much less discomfort for the patient and superior results are achieved. 

Patients will get their best results if they have three initial treatments in three months followed by annual touch-up treatments. Natural aging will continue and significant weight changes can alter the results. Pregnancy and childbirth will also diminish the results, but another set of ThermiVa treatments can restore the patient's appearance.
