Excessive stretching of the vaginal muscles is a common occurrence after vaginal birth or due to aging. Therefore, many have sought out different treatment options to help get their bodies back.  The Viveve does all this and more. This treatment uses clinically-proven cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) to uniformly deliver gentle volumetric heating while cooling delicate surface tissue. This unique technology stimulates the body’s natural collagen formation process.

The Viveve treatment is a comfortable, single-session, 30-minute treatment performed by a trained healthcare professional in an outpatient setting.  During the visit, Dr. Dima uses a small treatment tip (about the size of your thumb) which is then inserted into the vaginal opening. The tip is then rotated while it alternately cools the surface and heats the soft tissue beneath. Women typically begin to feel the results at about 30 days and the full effect at about 90 days. Depending on how you respond, your doctor may recommend a touch up treatment every year or as you see fit.

During this treatment the vaginal tissue is not injured. Therefore, one can return to all normal activities right after receiving treatment.  This includes exercise, bathing, and of course intimacy! We actually encourage our patients to resume normal sexual activity that very same day.

As stated earlier just like skin, vaginal tissue ages over time.  With age and childbirth comes symptoms such as vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, vaginal pain, air passing from the vagina, less satisfaction with intercourse, and increased self-consciousness.  All of these symptoms are easily treatable with the Viveve and have seen amazing results with our patients and across the world.  In fact, 90% of the women who had the procedure in clinical studies, reported significant, sustained tightening, sensation and satisfaction 12 months after treatment

Most women know about highly invasive surgical procedures, which are expensive, can have long and extremely painful recovery times and carry significant risk. Now there is a discreet way to safely and effectively renew satisfaction – with the Geneveve treatment. As compared to other non-invasive procedures the Viveve is different because it only requires one treatment.  As opposed to other non-surgical treatments that require routine appointments – the Viveve is one and done.  This makes this treatment less expensive, less time consuming, and much easier for those with a busy schedule.
