The Science Behind ThermiVa Vaginal Rejuvenation
A variety of medical conditions can cause a number of problematic changes to a woman’s vagina including vaginal laxity, dryness and itching, painful sex, loss of sexual sensation, low sex drive, and even urinary incontinence.
ThermiVa is a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and ‘turn back time’ to improve the condition, appearance, and function of the vagina. This innovative vaginal rejuvenation technology has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of vaginal health concerns, including loose vaginal walls, urinary incontinence, and sexual dysfunction.
In this article, the vaginal rejuvenation specialists at Advanced Laser in the Madison Heights area explain the science behind how ThermiVa works, and review some of the clinical studies and statistics on its effectiveness.
Causes of Vaginal Pain, Looseness & Problems
Vaginal changes that cause symptoms such as vaginal laxity, vaginal dryness, painful sex, urinary incontinence, and sexual pain are often due to a combination of factors, including aging, menopause, childbirth, hormonal changes, and even certain medical conditions.
Collagen is an essential protein that gives the skin and tissues of the body their strength, while elastin is a protein that provides elasticity and “snap back”. As women age, their bodies produce less collagen and elastin, which can lead to a thinning of the vaginal walls, decreased lubrication, and decreased elasticity. Just as the skin on the face ages – sagging and becoming thinner – so does the tissue inside of the vagina. This can result in vaginal dryness and itching, painful intercourse, and decreased sexual drive, sensitivity, and satisfaction.
Hormonal changes due to menopause, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and medical conditions like PCOS can also cause vaginal changes. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, increased levels of estrogen can lead to vaginal swelling and increased blood flow. After breastfeeding stops, estrogen levels drop, which can lead to vaginal dryness and decreased elasticity. During menopause, estrogen levels drop significantly, which can lead to thinning of the vaginal walls and decreased lubrication.
Additionally, giving birth can cause trauma to the pelvic floor muscles and tissues, which can lead to vaginal laxity and urinary incontinence. Multiple vaginal deliveries or difficult births can increase the likelihood of these symptoms. And certain medical conditions can also contribute to vaginal changes. For example, women who have undergone pelvic surgery or radiation therapy may experience vaginal scarring or narrowing. Women with conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, or polyps may also experience painful intercourse or other symptoms.
In other words, the underlying causes of vaginal changes that lead to symptoms such as vaginal laxity, vaginal dryness, painful sex, urinary incontinence, and sexual problems are complex.
The Science Behind ThermiVa Vaginal Rejuvenation
ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation is an advanced, non-invasive, and non-surgical treatment available at Advanced Laser in the Madison Heights area. ThermiVa can resolve many vaginal problems and restore the vagina to a younger, healthier state. ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to gently heat the tissues of the vagina, which stimulates collagen production and improves elasticity.
ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation delivers the RF heat energy to the vagina through a small wand that is inserted into the vagina, allowing the energy to be targeted and precise. ThermiVa works by using radiofrequency energy to stimulate the production of collagen in the tissues of the vagina, which can improve elasticity, tighten the vaginal walls, and improve urinary incontinence and sexual function.
Scientifically, the mechanism of action for radiofrequency vaginal rejuvenation is called ”neocollagenesis”, which is the formation of new collagen. The thermal energy delivered by the radiofrequency device causes controlled damage to the existing collagen fibers in the vaginal tissues, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. This response includes the activation of fibroblasts, cells that produce collagen, to synthesize new collagen fibers. The new collagen fibers help to restore and improve the strength, elasticity, and structure of the vaginal tissues, leading to improved vaginal health and function.
The treatment is painless and requires no downtime, making it a fast, comfortable, and convenient option for women looking to improve their vaginal health.
ThermiVa Vaginal Rejuvenation Clinical Studies
Many clinical studies and statistics have been conducted on ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation that demonstrate that this non-surgical treatment is effective in improving vaginal health and function. With high patient satisfaction ratings and a growing body of research supporting its effectiveness, ThermiVa is becoming an increasingly popular option for women looking to improve their vaginal health and restore their sexual enjoyment.
Several clinical studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of ThermiVa for vaginal rejuvenation. One study published in the Journal of Women’s Health found that 94% of patients reported improvement in vaginal laxity after just one treatment with ThermiVa. The study also found that 81% of patients reported improvement in sexual function and 66% reported improvement in stress urinary incontinence.
Another study published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal found that 90% of patients reported improvement in vaginal tightening after just one treatment with ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation. The study also found that 60% of patients reported improvement in sexual function and 70% reported improvement in urinary incontinence.
In addition to these studies, ThermiVa has also received high satisfaction ratings from patients. According to RealSelf, an online community where patients can rate and review treatments, ThermiVa has a 93% satisfaction rating.
