Vaginal Tightening in Santa Monica

Choose Between Mona Lisa Touch and ThermiVA

What is vaginal atrophy?

Vaginal atrophy affects women of all ages, but is commonly seen in women who have been pregnant and those women who are in early stages or late stages of menopause. Affecting millions of women in the United States, vaginal atrophy refers to the gradual diminishing of vaginal wall activity, leading to dryness, lack of lubrication, thinner walls, reduced collagen, and less elasticity and resiliency of vaginal tissue. In all, women with vaginal atrophy may complain of pain and discomfort during intimacy, a decrease in lubrication, and a reduced sense of intimate satisfaction. Vaginal atrophy may be seen alongside labia minora and labia majora atrophy and sagging.

Our Santa Monica plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology center treats symptoms of vaginal atrophy with labiaplasty, vaginal PRP, the O-shot, ThermiVA and labial laser RF.

 

What is ThermiVA?

ThermiVA is an exciting new treatment that uses safe sound waves to build collagen and elastin the vaginal tissue. It is an ideal treatment for vaginal atrophy as it is simple to perform, has minimal discomfort, and minimal to absent downtime. An RF device is used to tighten the vagina and outer labia minora and majora. Unlike Mona Lisa touch, the ThermiVA machine can be used for the outer labia to improve the cosmetic appearance of the female genitalia.

What is the MonaLisa Touch?

The Mona Lisa Touch is a laser-based device that uses laser energy inside your vagina to tighten the tissue. The laser energy burns the tissue of the inner vaginal wall, improving lubrication and vaginal tone. In our experience, we prefer the ThermiVA treatment because it can be used on the inside and outside of the vaginal, vaginal opening, and labia minora/majora.
