It’s time to talk about a subject that people don’t discuss enough – feminine health and wellness. More specifically, female vaginal rejuvenation. ThermiVa is a leader in the vaginal rejuvenation arena. Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery, Lipo and Medspa was one of the first to bring this treatment to the Boise area for good reason. We knew this treatment would be game changing for our female patients. ThermiVa is non-surgical with no downtime and delivers immediate results. It has a 95% satisfaction rating on Real Self, and is a favorite among our clients. 

Who Are Ideal ThermiVa Candidates?

ThermiVa is for all ages. Young clients often need help with bladder control or may want the appearance of their labia to be more aesthetically pleasing. Women who have had vaginal births seek ThermiVa treatments to restore their vaginal tissues to pre-birth levels. Women who are aging or going through menopause often suffer from reduced sensitivity or pain  during intercourse, urinary incontinence, and vaginal dryness. For women who suffer from these conditions, there is often a sense of hopelessness, lack of confidence and lower self-esteem. The good news: The majority of women who want this treatment are candidates!!! The only requirement is that you must have a recent pelvic exam within 6 months of a ThermiVa treatment. 

How Does ThermiVa Work?

ThermiVa uses a small wand that can be used in two ways. The wand can be applied externally to labia and vulvar tissues to restore normal tissue tone and function, or internally to the vagina using radiofrequency energy to revive atrophic tissue and other structures. The use of radiofrequency energy promotes the production of new collagen and elastin.

How Many Treatments Do I need? 

We offer ThermiVa treatments in a package of three spaced about a month apart. Then a yearly maintenance of a treatment to maintain results. Often clients have amazing results after the first treatment! 

Benefits of ThermiVa

• Reduces urinary incontinence
• Improves vaginal lubrication
• Increases sensation
• Tightens vaginal tissues by encouraging collagen production. 
• Aesthetically pleasing improvements to the appearance of the labia
• Alleviates pain from intercourse
• Increases sexual satisfaction for couples by toning and tightening  the vaginal wall and thereby increasing the ability to have orgasm. 
• Patients can resume normal sexual activity the same day/night as treatment

FDA Advisory
Within recent weeks, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a statement saying vaginal rejuvenation treatments have been cleared for destroying abnormal or precancerous cervical or vaginal tissue, as well as condylomas (genital warts) and other serious genitourinary (GU) conditions—but not for disorders and symptoms related to menopause, urinary incontinence or sexual function. Furthermore, the Administration claims these treatments “have serious risks and don’t have adequate evidence to support their use for these purposes.”

FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb says he is aware of “numerous” reports of vaginal burns, scarring, pain during sexual intercourse and recurring or chronic pain following these procedures and as a result, is asking the manufacturers of the devices in question to address their concerns and reevaluate the marketing of their products.

In light of this statement, we wanted to share with you what we and other industry experts think about the warnig.

Firstly, women seek these treatments for many health and aesthetic reasons both. Vaginal dryness, inability to climax, loss of sensitivity, urinary incontinence - and the list goes on! And we know it works because our clients have shared with us and we celebrated in the success of the results they see. Lasers and Radiofrequency devices have been used for these type of treatments for years, and have a large body of evidence showing unequivocal benefit to women's health. There have been very few and rare reports of burns and complications, and none so far at Silk Touch.

Secondly, this statement lumps all vaginal rejuvenation treatments into one category. Both lasers and Radiofrequency (RF) - which are very different technologies. We offer ThermiVa, a RF device which has less complications and downtime than laser treatments.

The reason these warning letters have been sent out is these devices are not supposed to be marketed for indications they are not FDA-cleared for until they receive approval, and this is where some companies have gone awry, leading to warning letters. Just because something doesn't have FDA-clearing, doesn't mean its unsafe. It's a costly and lengthy process to get something FDA-cleared, which is why its so common to get off label treatments. (Example, Botox in crows-feet, even though its FDA cleared for forehead.)

Here's an excerpt from NewBeauty magazine where Dr. Alexiades & Dr. Canter ( industry leaders in Vaginal Rejuvenation) shares her opinion.

"....these devices do work for many people and it’s important that the FDA is finally discussing women’s health issues after all these years. “The important take home messages are that women need treatments for conditions such as pain with intercourse, urinary leakage and infections, which can result in a poor quality of life,” says Dr. Alexiades. “Approximately 50 percent of postmenopausal women suffer from these conditions, and this new generation of devices offers significant efficacy and excellent safety profiles.”

Reston, VA urogynecologist Maria Canter, MD agrees. “Although I agree with the FDA that the safety and effectiveness of a device should be established prior to it being marketed a certain way, some patients have failed multiple ‘approved’ treatment options and have had significant improvement with energy-based devices. For example, a radio-frequency device I work with, Viveve System, has studies demonstrating safety and efficacy when used to treat vaginal laxity that can lead to decreased sensation during intercourse and urinary incontinence. There is also a prospective randomized controlled trial that was blinded and demonstrated significant improvement in symptoms. This device also currently has 2 FDA IDE trials. To date, there have been no serious adverse events and the benefits have outweighed any risk.”

To wrap it up...

While any FDA warning sounds scary - this one really is more of a warning to the companies to hold off on marketing certain benefits UNTIL they get FDA approval. We stand behind our vaginal rejuvenation treatment ThermiVa, in both the safety of the device and health benefits.

ThermiVa has truly been one of the most gratifying treatments to be able to offer to our clients. It has changed the life of countless women, and even improved marriages. We can't say enough good things about this treatment!

For many women, childbirth, genetics, age or a combination of all three can change their vaginal anatomy. These changes are often unwelcome and can cause discomfort, both in day-to-day life and sexually. Thankfully there are ways to combat this problem through non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation. ThermiVa is a game changer when it comes to vaginal rejuvenation treatments. No pain, no downtime and its our treatment with the highest patient satisfaction, even after their first treatment. 

Here are 5 Big Benefits To ThermiVa.

Non-surgical treatment

ThermiVa is a non-surgical treatment. This means there are no injections or incisions required. This is a big plus as many women are weary of having surgery performed on such an intimate part of their body. There is also no downtime with ThermiVa, making it a very convenient treatment that’s perfect for those with busy schedules.

Improved sexual stimulation

For some women, the tightening of vaginal tissue that ThermiVa provides also resulted in greater stimulation during intercourse. A lot of women seek out vaginal rejuvenation mostly due to poor sexual stimulation so this is a big benefit.

Improves Urinary Incontinence. 

Do you sneeze when you pee? We can help with that! An often overlooked benefit of vaginal rejuvenation is that is can help with incontinence. Not all women who experience anatomical changes to their vagina suffer from incontinence, but for those who do, ThermiVa can be very effective at improving it.

Fast treatments

ThermiVa is a very fast treatment, with session typically lasting 30-45 minutes. This means you can get the treatment without having to prepare or take time off work. (Perfect for lunch breaks!) ThermiVa is done in a series of 3 treatments. And for some women, it’s recommended to get maintenance treatment once or twice per year in order to maintain the benefits. 

Feel comfortable and confident with your body

While ThermiVa does have appearance benefits (tighten in and out) Feeling confident about your body isn’t just about improving areas that are visible. If you have noticed changes in your vaginal anatomy that are causing you discomfort or affect sexual performance then it can certainly affect your confidence in a negative way. This treatment can help restore your confidence and make you feel comfortable in your own skin again.

Have you heard about this new treatment recently featured on The Dr. Oz Show? It's a treatment for women that will seriously change your life! The best news.. we now offer it at Silk Touch! Say hello to your new best friend, ThermiVA. Thermiva is a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment.

We are so excited to be one of the first to bring this amazing technology to the women of Idaho! This is seriously a game changer in female rejuvenation treatments - with the only other alternative before this being painful, expensive, surgery.

ThermiVA is Non-Surgical 

ThermiVA is completely pain free and non-surgical. 

There is no recovery time with ThermiVA. It's the perfect lunch time treatment! One of the best parts  about ThermiVA is how easy the treatments are. You don't have to interrupt your life with expensive surgery and downtime! Who has time for that? Want to exercise afterwards? Go for it. Have sex? Sure! 

A small, slender wand (similar to ones used in transvaginal ultrasounds during the beginning of pregnancy) is used to provide a temperature-controlled radiofrequency directly to the inner vaginal tissue and the outer labias. Treatments are extremely comfortable and quick. It takes about 30 minutes total, fifteen minutes for the inner vaginal tissues and fifteen minutes for the outer vaginal area.

Is Everyone A ThermiVA candidate?

The only contraindications to getting Thermiva include pregnancy, active STD, urinary tract infection and patients with a cardiac device e.g. pacemaker/ defibrillator/ mechanical valves.

How Many ThermiVA Treatments Do You Need?

For optimal results we suggest a series of 3 treatments. We recommended that women come in for one treatment a month for three months. From that point forward, some may need one treatment a year just for maintenance.

Treats Urinary Incontinence

Urinary leaking is a daily struggle for many women of all ages. Chance are if you don't suffer from this, you probably know several people who do... Many women come to us with concerns of even being worried to sneeze without peeing a little. ThermiVA can stop this!

Childbirth (both vaginal deliveries and c-sections), abdominal surgeries, menopause, and even the things we can't control like genetics and aging are all major causes. Luckily, we now have ThermiVA to help! 

ThermiVA has a 96% "Worth It" Rating on Realself.com. Which is one of the highest patient satisfaction scores on Realself. Here's what some ThermiVa patients have to say about treating urinary incontinence with Thermiva.

“I couldn’t do a squat or a jumping jack during boot camp without leaking on myself, but after three treatments I have none.” — mom of four, all vaginal deliveries

“You know that whole cross your legs and squeeze when you sneeze? Well, I don’t have to do that anymore — I now sneeze freely without having to worry about leaking.” — patient after just one ThermiVa treatment

Improves Postpartum Recovery 

As early as six weeks after delivery, women can receive a ThermiVa treatment. This is a big deal for women who have had vaginal deliveries, women with stretching of the vaginal tissue, and women healing from episiotomies as a result of vaginal deliveries.  ThermiVa will restore the elasticity of the vaginal tissue much quicker and will reduce the healing time in those who had tearing or episiotomies during child birth.  Breastfeeding? Not a problem! Breastfeeding moms can still receive ThermiVa. (How exciting is that, ladies?!)

Improves the Appearance of the Vaginal Area

ThermiVa, through tightening the skin of the vagina, helps bring the outer parts of the vagina closer to the body.  The effects are sometimes immediate — the technicians can sometimes see the skin contracting and tightening during the actual procedure. 

Restores Moisture

This is something that affects so many women, and can become a serious medical issue. Menopause and the lack of estrogen in our bodies results in vaginal dryness. Which can lead to things such as — bleeding with wiping, tearing, pain during sex, collapsing of the vaginal walls, and can even allow for the bladder or the intestines to fall into the vaginal space.  Vaginal rejuvenation with ThermiVa will create softer and thicker skin and more moisture both internally and externally to make daily life and sexual intercourse more comfortable without the use of hormones or messy creams.

Improves Sex

Another great benefit of Thermiva? ThermiVa will enhance your sex life!!It will feel fuller, tighter  and smoother afterwords. Plus, in addition to restoring moisture which can help improve sex, ThermiVA can result in increased sensitivity, more coordinated and stronger muscular contractions, and ability to achieve orgasms in a shorter time period. Even women who’ve never been able to have an orgasm during vaginal intercourse before have reported having orgasms thanks to ThermiVA.
