Viveve can address a number of problems women commonly experience after child birth and as they get older including:
Viveve’s unique technology allows radiofrequency energy to be delivered into the vaginal tissue without damaging the delicate surface of the skin. It works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen formation process.
In clinic, a qualified nurse places a small probe the size of a thumb just inside the vaginal opening. It is then rotated so that the tip alternates by cooling the surface and heating the soft tissue underneath.
Results are noticeable after a few months as the Viveve vaginal rejuvenation works by stimulating collagen and elastin production and strengthening the vaginal opening.
Most patients require just one session, which can last between 30 and 60 minutes. They tend to notice a difference after just one treatment. Thereafter one treatment per year is recommended to maintain results.
Viveve is not suitable for patients that have an implantable pacemaker or an Automatic Implantable Cardioverter/Defibrillator (AICD) or any other implantable metal device.
Due to Viveve’s innovative cooling technology, there is no trauma to the vaginal tissue. No anaesthetic is needed, and the skin may just be slightly warm and swollen immediately after treatment.
Risks are minimal after a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation. There may be some mild cramping and blood spotting in the first few days, but most patients experience no downtime after treatment and should be able to resume normal physical activities, including sexual intercourse soon afterwards.
Full results of the Viveve non-surgical vagina rejuvenation can be seen after three months. Clinical trials have indicated that 90% of women treated for vaginal laxity report an improvement in tightening, sensation and satisfaction. Stress incontinence is also addressed, with a recent study recording a 90% improvement.
