Ask Dr. Dima: Feminine Rejuvenation with Viveve

WellMedica would like to introduce the latest tech-nology in non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation. It is called Viveve—and it is a clinically proven treatment that is revolutionizing feminine wellness as we know it. Currently it is used in 52 different countries around the world and has benefited thousands of women improving their health and quality of life.

What is Viveve?

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. Viveve does all this and more. This treatment uses clinical-proven cryogen-cooled monopoly radiofrequency (CMRF) to uniformly deliver gentle volumetric heating while cooling delicate surface tissue. This unique technology stimulates the body’s natural collage formation process.

What to expect?

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, we may recommend a touch up treatment every year or as you see fit.

It there any downtime?

During this treatment the vaginal tissue swells slightly. It is recommended that patients abstain from intercourse for 48 hours, although resuming other normal activities right after receiving treatment is acceptable. This includes exercise and bathing.

What does Viveve treat?

Vaginal tissue ages over time. With age and childbirth, certain symptoms can occur 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 Viveve and we have seen amazing results with our patients and around the world. In fact 90% of the women who had the procedure in clinical studies, reported significant, sustained tightening, sensation, satisfaction and noticeably reduced bladder incontinence 12 months after treatment!

What makes Viveve different?

Traditional invasive surgical procedures are expensive, can have a long and extremely painful recovery time and carry significant risk. Viveve is non-invasive, painless, discreet, safe and very effective.
