Viveve Vaginal Rejuvenation

After the effects of aging, pregnancy and menopause take their toll, many women find themselves struggling to enjoy intercourse due to a variety of unwanted symptoms. Vaginal laxity, dryness and decreased sensation can make intercourse difficult and even painful, leading to diminished sexual satisfaction and a loss of libido. If your sex life has been negatively impacted by aging or childbirth, then Viveve vaginal rejuvenation can help you regain what time has taken from you.

With the nonsurgical Viveve System, we are proud to help women improve their self-esteem in the bedroom and strengthen their relationships. If pregnancy or the effects of aging have affected your ability to enjoy a healthy sex life, schedule a consultation with us to learn how nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation by Viveve can help you win back your confidence.

What Causes Vaginal Laxity?

Just like the collagen found in your skin, the collagen fibers that keep your vaginal muscles and tissues tight and youthful are prone to weakening over time. Many different factors can contribute to vaginal laxity, including:

• Tissue weakening from aging
• Decreased collagen production
• Hormonal fluctuations from pregnancy
• Childbirth via vaginal delivery
• Changes in hormone levels from menopause

Vaginal laxity can cause less sensation during intercourse and a decreased libido as a result. Patients who suffer from vaginal laxity may also experience other unwanted symptoms, such as vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, pain during intercourse and unsatisfying orgasms. Over time, these symptoms can make sex less enjoyable and impact your relationship with your partner.

How Does the Viveve Device Work?

The clinically-proven Viveve System uses patented cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) technology to deliver pulses of heating and cooling to the vaginal tissues. This calibrated and controlled delivery of energy activates the body’s natural regenerative processes, stimulating collagen remodeling and increased collagen production. The Viveve device actively monitors the temperature to maintain safe and effective treatment, minimizing side effects while maximizing results.

Following a Viveve treatment, the increased collagen production will gradually remodel and tighten your tissues over the course of several months. Patients who undergo a Viveve treatment session commonly report increased sensation during intercourse, stronger orgasms, improved natural lubrication and a healthier sex life. Schedule a consultation at Gravity Medical Spa to learn if Viveve is right for you.

The Nonsurgical Viveve Procedure

During a Viveve vaginal rejuvenation session, the tip of the slender treatment wand is gently inserted into the opening of the vagina. The device is then rotated to apply the CMRF energy evenly to the vagina. Viveve treatments are considered to be comfortable by most patients and no local anesthesia or numbing cream is required. Appointments last 30 to 45 minutes on average.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Can I Expect After My Treatment Session?

Following a Viveve vaginal rejuvenation treatment, your body will begin remodeling the collagen fibers of your vaginal tissue. Results will take at least two weeks to become noticeable and will peak after about three months. The increased collagen production will continue to improve your results for up to six months. Most patients report that their improvements last 12 months or longer.

How many treatment sessions will I need?

Viveve vaginal rejuvenation only requires a single treatment session for satisfying results. Patients may repeat the treatment as necessary for long-lasting results.

Who is a good candidate for treatment?

Good candidates for Viveve vaginal rejuvenation are women who suffer from issues related to sexual wellness, including vaginal laxity, dryness, pain during intercourse and urinary incontinence. In order to experience optimal results, patients should be non-smokers in good health.

Is there any downtime?

Viveve treatments require absolutely no downtime, allowing patients to enjoy the benefits of vaginal rejuvenation without disrupting their lives. Patients are free to return to normal activities immediately following their appointment but must wait 48 hours before resuming intercourse.

Are there any side effects?

Viveve vaginal rejuvenation is gentle and causes minimal side effects. You may notice some mild redness and swelling following your treatment, as well as a tingling sensation. Any side effects will subside within a few days and should not be overly uncomfortable or keep you from your regular activities.

Are Viveve treatments painful?

Viveve treatments are not painful. No anesthesia is used and most patients find the treatment to be entirely comfortable. Only the tip of the treatment wand is inserted into the vagina. Your Gravity Medical Spa physician will take great care to ensure your comfort throughout the duration of your Viveve treatment.

How is the Viveve System different?

Unlike other nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation devices, the Viveve System actively monitors temperature and applies controlled cooling to increase the treatment’s effectiveness. By keeping the vaginal tissue at a safe temperature through integrated cooling, Viveve can administer heat deeper within the tissue, rejuvenating from within.

How long do results last?

Results from your Viveve treatment will continue to improve over time due to the increased collagen production. Most patients enjoy their results for a year or longer. As aging continues to take its toll, your results may gradually fade. The Viveve treatment can be repeated once the effects wear off.
