Collagen is a protein that helps keep tissue firm and elastic. Its production can decline with age, affecting the skin and vaginal tissue. ThermiVa® is a nonsurgical, nonhormonal, nonablative, in-office treatment that uses physician-controlled radiofrequency energy, delivered through a specially designed handpiece, to gently heat internal and external vaginal tissue and stimulate collagen production. Radiofrequency technology is widely used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.

          Vaginal tissue may stretch after childbirth or change with age, which can affect sensation, comfort, or sexual well-being. A ThermiVa® treatment typically takes 30 minutes and does not require anesthesia. The temperature is controlled and adjusted for comfort. Some patients may notice results after one treatment, though individual results and treatment plans vary. Follow Dr. Yao’s guidance about when to resume sexual activity.
