Day 11 of Healthy, Beautiful Skin – ThermiVa® at Preferred Women’s Healthcare
By Best Self Staffer: Kim Cooper
Tons of women experience different vaginal issues but often feel too embarrassed to talk about this “taboo” subject. I was excited to tell our readers about my experience with a great treatment called ThermiVa®. I know so many women could benefit from the results of this easy nonsurgical procedure.
Preferred Women’s Healthcare
Audrey Arona, M.D., of Preferred Women’s Healthcare, and Gabrielle M. Sabini, M.D., of North Atlanta Dermatology, did a fantastic job of explaining the procedure to me and answering any questions I had. I felt at ease most of the time.
The ThermiVa® treatment involves administering low heat and radiofrequency waves to different areas of the vaginal region to remedy a variety of issues such as bladder leakage, painful sex, dryness, sagging or excess skin, or complications from childbirth. The best part about the treatment is that it is totally painless and takes less than an hour. Dr. Arona recommends receiving three different 40-minute treatment sessions. After that, a once a year procedure can be done to help results last.
Dr. Arona was very professional during my treatment and gave me a detailed description of the procedure. Essentially, a small wand that is heated to a regulated temperature is inserted into the vagina. In five-minute increments, the wand gently massages the walls of four areas within the vagina. The heat can be decreased if it’s uncomfortable, however, that was not necessary when I had it done. After the inner portion is completed, outer areas are treated for an additional five to seven minutes, depending on the desired result.
Overall, it was far less painful than any regular pap smear/vaginal exam I have ever experienced. There are two more treatments that occur after the first, but I can already see a drastic change.
