Radiofrequency (RF) therapy has emerged as a versatile, non-surgical treatment addressing various issues of the Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause. By delivering controlled RF energy, treatments like ThermiVa stimulate collagen and elastin production, enhancing tissue firmness and functionality. At WHP and Hada Cosmetic Medicine we can pair this treatment with Emsellas, PRP or PGDF treatments to the Clitoris, or MonaLisa Touch therapies to individualize your treatment.
Key Benefits of Radiofrequency Therapy:
- Vaginal Laxity: RF therapy effectively tightens vaginal tissues, improving elasticity and reducing feelings of looseness. Some research indicates this can stall off surgical treatments.
- Sexual Function: Enhanced blood flow and nerve sensitivity can lead to increased sexual satisfaction and reduced discomfort during intercourse.
- Urinary Incontinence: Strengthening of pelvic floor muscles through RF therapy can alleviate symptoms of stress urinary incontinence.
- Bowel Health improves, but less studied.
Safety and Efficacy:
Recent studies indicate that RF treatments are generally safe and effective for vaginal rejuvenation. A systematic review highlighted improvements in vaginal laxity and sexual function with minimal adverse effects. However, the FDA has raised concerns about the marketing of such devices for unapproved indications, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive clinical trials to validate efficacy and safety claims.
ThermiVa Procedure:
ThermiVa utilizes a specialized device to deliver RF energy both internally and externally, promoting tissue remodeling without discomfort or downtime. Each session typically lasts about 30 minutes, with most patients requiring a series of treatments for optimal results.
Considerations:
While RF therapy offers promising benefits, it’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine suitability based on individual health conditions and concerns. Ongoing research aims to further elucidate the long-term effects and optimal protocols for these treatments.
Conclusion:
Radiofrequency therapy represents a significant advancement in non-surgical vaginal health treatments, offering solutions for common concerns with minimal risk. As with any medical procedure, informed discussions with healthcare professionals are crucial to achieving the best outcomes.
