If you suffer from a leaky bladder when you cough or sneeze, you are likely to be a good candidate for ThermiVa. The radiofrequency based procedure is perfect for women seeking to tighten the vaginal cavity and prevent urinary incontinence. Women with realistic expectations about what the ThermiVa procedure can do for them are more likely achieve desired results.

ThermiVa is capable of both internal (vaginal canal) and external (labia majora) stimulation for the treatment of urinary incontinence.

ThermiVa treatment will last approximately 30-45 minutes and is ideal for women with busy lifestyles. Internal treatment can take anywhere from 15-20 minutes. External radiofrequency treatments are approximately 10-15 minutes.

Most patients report same-day results. Others, however, don’t see noticeable results until several weeks later. Because ThermiVa stimulates your body’s natural healing process, you’ll experience continued improvements for several months after the procedure. Improved results can last up to a year or more.

You will not experience any downtime with the ThermiVa treatment. After your short treatment, you’re free to go about your daily activities restriction-free. Sexual activities can also be resumed the same day for those that wish to do so.

This will depend on the severity of your urinary incontinence. The majority of patients who opt for ThermiVa to treat their urinary incontinence require a three-session plan. Each treatment will be spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart. Additional maintenance treatments may also be recommended on an annual basis.
