IUDs and ThermiVa
Mar 15, 2017
Mar 15, 2017
There are very few patients who cannot get ThermiVa. Those who should postpone treatment with ThermiVa would be those with an active pelvic infection, active herpes lesions and those who recently had any type of vaginal or cervical surgery.
IUDs alone should not be a contraindication for ThermiVa treatment. It is always best to consult with your physician about your specific healthcare needs.

ThermiVa: What is The Downtime?
Zero Downtime

Mar 15, 2017
The great benefit of ThermiVa is there is zero downtime. Patients walk out of our office feeling even better than when they walked in. They can resume all normal activities including exercise and intercourse immediately after treatment.
Does ThermiVa Treat Leaky Bladder Symptoms?
ThermiVa and Stress Incontinence
Mar 15, 2017
Mar 15, 2017
Although not the original intent of the treatment, many of our patients have reported significant improvement with stress incontinence. Since ThermiVa uses RF technology to heat the area of the vagina improving elasticity and increasing collagen production in the area, it helps provide more support to the urethra and bladder areas that are right above the vagina. With more support, there is less leaking from stress activities such as sneezing, coughing, exercising etc.
How long the ThermiVa treatments last? Do I have to do it yearly?
ThermiVa Longevity
Mar 15, 2017
Mar 15, 2017
ThermiVa is usually performed as a series of 3 sessions approximately one month apart. From our experience, after the initial series of 3 treatments, results last 9-12 months. Most patients desire a “touch up” after this time to see the same results they experienced initially.
