At Southern Urogynecology Wellness and Aesthetics, we offer treatments with ThermiVa, a non-surgical therapy designed to restore vaginal health. Our can help you determine your candidacy for ThermiVa and deliver a treatment that offers real and lasting benefits for your sexual wellness.
At our office in West Columbia ThermiVa is a non-surgical application for complete vaginal rejuvenation. Women choose feminine rejuvenation treatments for their own individual reasons including incontinence, vaginal tightening, and improving sensation and function. ThermiVa is a new form of energy medicine that uses radio frequency heat therapy to promote collagen synthesis, resulting in shrinkage and tightening of female tissues. ThermiVa is non-surgical, non-invasive, and pain-free and is a smart alternative to more invasive procedures. Most women suffer from incontinence, orgasm dysfunction, prolapse, vaginal laxity, and/or vaginal dryness as a result of childbirth or a change in hormone status. Our patients seek and want an intelligent choice for their female needs: a choice that is easy to handle, has no recovery time, and provides results almost immediately.
ThermiVa is that choice. ThermiVa leads to improvements in labial cosmetic appearance, vaginal canal tightening, improvement in dryness/atrophic vaginitis, decreased urinary incontinence, and treatment of pelvic prolapse. ThermiVa is an ideal treatment for women who wish to tighten and tone their genital tissues to improve sexual activity and personal comfort. Find out if you could benefit from ThermiVa and schedule consultation with Dr. Andrea Pezzella or Suzanne Smith, PA-C. Your consultation will include a pelvic exam to make sure that the treatment is the best fit for the individual patient and their personal concerns.
During your initial consultation at Southern Urogynecology Wellness and Aesthetics, your provider will discuss your goals and expectations for ThermiVa in West Columbia. They will perform a thorough examination to assess whether ThermiVa can help you.
On the day of your treatment, a small, disposable probe is gently inserted into the vagina. Radiofrequency energy is then delivered to the tissues, creating a warming sensation. The entire procedure typically takes 30 minutes or less.
