Will ThermiVa only last one year even if I dont have sex?

How long does ThermiVa last?
Feb 7, 2019

Wether you have sex or not will not make any difference in how long the benefits will last. If you had it done on your face it will not make any difference how much you smile or don’t smile, it all has to do with your age and the genetics of your individual tissues.
Average is somewhere between 9 and 24 months.
Try it, you will like it.

How long do you have to wait to get ThermiVa treatment after c-section?

It really depends on what your problem is and how ThermiVa can make it better. If it’s vaginal dryness or urinary stress incontinence you are hoping to improve, then I would wait 6 months and see if it gets better over time without any treatment. This is especially true if you are breast feeding. Your hormones are not normal while breast feeding.
If after 6 months you are still having problems with vaginal dryness or urinary symptoms then I would certainly try ThermiVa…

I’m 25 years old and looking for the least invasive option. Labiaplasty or Thermiva?

Labiaplasty or ThermiVa
Jan 28, 2019

Labiaplasty is more expensive and more risky but the results are more dramatic and more permanent. ThermiVa works better for other things like vulvavaginal laxity or urinary stress incontinence. Decreasing the size of the labia minora cannot always be guaranteed with ThermiVa as it works better on some people’s tissue than others.

Am I a candidate for ThermiVa? I am 23 years old, no children.

23 year old and ThermiVa

Thanks for your question. There is no age limit, 23 or 90. I had a 28 y/o that came to me because she had been having sex for 8 tears and could not achieve orgasms. After one treatment she reported a 50% success rate and after the 2nd treatment she reported a 90% success rate reaching orgasms. I treated her the third time and have not heard back so I suspect she is a happy patient. It seems that ThermiVa not only improves lubrication but also…

If a patient does thermiva three times does she have to do it ever again?

ThermiVa 3 times

ThermiVa radio frequency treatments restore the elasticity of the collagen but it is not permanent. Nothing is. Just like botox or other anti-aging treatments the body continues to age and therefore most of these treatments involve maintenance. After three treatments with ThermiVa most people will have excellent results that will last anywhere from 9 to 24 months depending on their own tissues and response. Most of my patients come in annually for a “tune up”.

When is a labiaplasty considered medically necessary?

Labial hypertrophy
Jan 11, 2019

You definitely have labial hypertrophy. From your photos it would seem to me that it might be difficult for you to wear a well fitting bathing suit or some tight shorts. Hopefully you are not a “pole dancer”. You need to find a Gynecologist that is willing to take some time with your insurance company and speak directly with the person that OK’s the surgery and that may involve sending pictures. It also will depend on what kind of insurance you have.
Good luck.

Could the suture that is still in the open wound be in the way of it healing back together? (Pho

Will the suture prevent the would from healing?

The sutures are most likely the kind that dissolve over time. You are doing the right thing. Leave them alone. Over time the swelling will be gone and the sutures will also disappear.
