Childbirth and the natural ageing process can cause changes which may affect feminine wellness. A strenuous vaginal birth or multiple births can cause stretching of the vagina and loosening of the pelvic floor.

The effects of menopause can cause physical and functional changes such as excessive dryness, thinning of the vaginal wall, pain and urinary incontinence. Leaks before the bathroom and during exercise, the inability to orgasm, less intense orgasms and decreased lubrication are all areas of concern to many women.
ThermiVa has been developed to address these issues in a non-surgical and painless way.
ThermiVa treats not only the internal vagina but is uniquely able to change the external appearance of enlarged or unsightly labia without the need for invasive surgery.
Delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy, ThermiVa is designed to treat vaginal laxity by tightening the vaginal opening and the full length of the vagina, in the areas which are noticeable to both the patient and their partner, thus improving sexual satisfaction for both.
It is also used to treat vulvar or labial laxity of the vaginal lips. This will tighten the labial tissues and reduce any sag or a ‘camel toe’ appearance, resulting in noticeably softer and smoother skin. This will provide more comfort in tight clothing and less self-awareness in leotards and bikinis.
ThermiVa can also target vaginal dryness, also referred to as atrophic vaginitis. This will result in softer and thicker skin in the area, plus more moisture, both internally and externally, to make daily life and sexual intercourse more comfortable without the use of hormones.
Mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence can also be treated with ThermiVa. Treatment this will reduce accidents and leakage and may reduce urge symptoms. Along with Kegel exercises, women may avoid the need to use of surgically applied mesh slings in their vaginas.
Finally, ThermiVa is used to address sexual or orgasmic dysfunction, which may result in increased sensitivity, more coordinated and stronger muscular contractions, and the ability to achieve orgasms in a shorter time period.
ThermiVa RF is one of a combination of treatments available as part of The O Concept™, developed by Dr Sherif Wakil who is a pioneer in sexual aesthetics. Designed to provide a specialised solution to improve and rebuild sexual well-being, many treatments, including radiofrequency energy can be combined to treat female sexual dysfunction.
Radiofrequency’s therapeutic effects on muscular and tissue healing are well known and have been used in physical therapy practices for decades. Due to the unique nature of collagen and the levels of moisture in the tissue around the vagina, temperatures much lower than those usually employed for radiofrequency leads to remarkable results. ThermiVa temperatures are not uncomfortable, will not burn and have been compared by many patients to the feeling of a warm stone massage.
A full medical history will be taken during discussion about your suitability for treatment. If you have any of the following conditions, then this treatment is just right for you: vaginal laxity, a lack of tightness in the vaginal canal, vulvar or labial laxity, a lack of tightness in the labial or vaginal lip tissue, vaginal dryness, medically known as atrophic vaginitis, mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or sexual or orgasmic dysfunction, an inability to reach orgasm, poor climaxing ability or a lengthy time until orgasm.
The treatment is a warm sensation (temperature control allows the tissue to get as warm as tolerable).
Approximately 10-15 minutes for labia majora reduction and 15-20 minutes for vaginal tightening. The protocol consists of 3 treatments recommended one month apart.
There is no downtime, no post-treatment discomfort or any restrictions.
