How Viveve® Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment Improves Sex

Viveve® vaginal rejuvenation uses radio-frequency energy with integrated cooling technology to help restore tightness, elasticity, lubrication and sensation to the tissue in the vagina and pelvic floor. Collagen and elastin are the natural substances in the body that are responsible for skin strength, thickness and elasticity. Viveve® radiofrequency stimulates collagen and elastin production in the vagina – while the cooling technology ensures that the procedure is more comfortable than other types of vaginal rejuvenation treatments.

Radiofrequency has been FDA approved to treat loose and “lax” skin on the face for almost a decade. Now this same safe, non-surgical technology is being used to increase collagen production in the vagina – which improves the vaginal tissue’s texture, lubrication, suppleness, thickness and elasticity.

In multiple clinical studies that were approved by the FDA, Viveve® has been clinically proven to be a safe and effective treatment for vaginal rejuvenation – without reported side effects or complications.

In addition to remedying pain during intercourse, Viveve® also typically improves sexual sensation. This is because the radiofrequency heat used for the treatment stimulates the body’s own collagen and elastin production, for thicker and more responsive vaginal walls.  In addition to plumping and strengthening the vaginal tissue with new collagen, Viveve also improves blood flow to the vagina. And, Viveve also stimulates the production of natural vaginal lubrication in the vagina – making the tissue less dry, so intercourse is less painful and more pleasurable.

What to Expect during Viveve® Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment

During your Viveve® vaginal rejuvenation treatment a small wand (about a thumb’s width) is gently inserted into the vagina to deliver warm radiofrequency (RF) energy. The patient experiences both a heating and cooling sensation, thanks to Viveve®’s unique, patented cooling technology.

The majority of our patients describe the procedure as comfortable, not painful. Only a single treatment is needed. The Viveve treatment itself typically only lasts approximately 30 minutes, during which time the patient can relax, use their phone, or listen to music .

Benefits of Viveve® Vaginal Rejuvenation

Since Viveve® vaginal rejuvenation is non-surgical and has no negative side effects, patients can return to work or their normal daily activities immediately after the 30-minute treatment. Patients will typically be asked to abstain from sexual intercourse for a couple days, but other than that there are no post-procedure restrictions on activities.

Viveve is also a very affordable treatment – less than a quarter of the cost of surgical vaginoplasty.

Viveve® treatment begins to work immediately. Many women report some immediate initial results, such as improved lubrication, more comfortable sex and reduced itching and dryness.

After just a few weeks most women report even greater effects including an increase in vaginal tightness and sensitivity, less or no pain during intercourse, improved sexual sensation, and a even a reduction in bladder leaks. After approximately six to nine weeks, the collagen should be substantially restored and “rejuvenated” for the maximum improvement in sexual sensation, tightness and lubrication.

The Best Christmas Gift of 2021: Better Sex with Viveve!

/in , /by

The Most Intimate Christmas Gift: Better Sex with Vaginal Rejuvenation

Just as things were getting back to normal, another coronavirus variant is surfacing – making Christmas shopping in 2021 challenging! What if we told you we had the perfect gift that keeps on giving, is guaranteed to “fit” and that can be purchased online with a few clicks?

Why not give your partner AND yourself the gift of better sex and improved intimacy this holiday season with a  Gift Certificate for vaginal rejuvenation at AMAE in the Detroit area?

Improve Sexual Intimacy with Vaginal Rejuvenation

Sexual intimacy is an important part of any couple’s relationship! And, during 2021, many couples are spending more time at  home together during the pandemic – so an active and satisfying sex life has become even more important to couple. Revolutionary non-surgical, radiofrequency Viveve Vaginal Rejuvenation may be just what you both need to reinvigorate your love life.

What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

In the early days of romance or marriage, the couple’s sexual relationship is often the focal point of their time together. But as responsibilities such as children, careers, and mortgages take center stage, sexual relations can often get shifted to the back burner. Unfortunately, once the kids are older, careers are established, and a couple finally has more time for one another again, physiological changes in a woman’s body can make sexual intimacy less than satisfying for both partners. Even worse, in many cases, sexual intercourse actually becomes painful for many woman.

Childbirth, aging and post-menopausal hormone decrease all take their toll on the vagina. The vaginal lining can become loose, lax (lacking in tone), dry, and less sensitive. This results in painful sex for the woman, as well as less sensation and less satisfaction for both partners.

But the fantastic news is that a painless, one-time, non-surgical Viveve vaginal rejuvenation treatment can “turn back the clock” on female intimacy problems. Radiofrequency “vaginal rejuvenation” restores tightness, elasticity, lubrication and sensation to the vagina – in just one treatment, without surgery and without hormones and with no downtime.

Radiofrequency stimulates the vaginal tissue to produce more collagen and elastin, the building blocks of firm, thick, elastic skin. This promotes the regeneration of vaginal walls and helps restore and rejuvenate the vagina to a more youthful state. The vaginal becomes tighter, more toned and more lubricated – improving intimacy for the woman and her partner.

Cost of Vaginal Rejuvenation in Detroit

So what’s the catch? There really isn’t one! There are no side effects, no downtime and no complications from this safe and natural treatment. The only issue, for some women, is the “price tag” – since insurance does not currently cover vaginal rejuvenation. And, as we all know, many women are notorious for not spending money on themselves.

But what better gift can you give her (and yourself) this holiday season, than a  Gift Certificate for better sexual health and improved intimacy?

The average middle-class married couple spends more than $1000 every year on Christmas gifts alone! Couples also typically invest this much money in a good mattress set. And a new car payment alone can run from $2500 to $4500 or more per year. Isn’t your intimacy as a couple also worth a small investment as well?

Men: You can purchase a  Gift Certificate at our Detroit area medical office for the cost of vaginal rejuvenation treatment. You will be giving your wife or partner the gift of heightened sexual sensation and pain-free sex – while also giving yourself the present of more satisfying sex with the woman you love.

Women: Treat yourselves to more comfortable and satisfying sex – while giving the man you love the holiday gift of more frequent and pleasurable sexual intimacy! There is still time to schedule Viveve vaginal rejuvenation before Christmas. But hurry! Time is running out.

Ask the Doctor: Is Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation Safe?

/in , /by

ASK DOCTOR ALI:
What is Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation and Is it Safe?

Fast, comfortable, non-surgical radiofrequency skin tightening treatments – boasting zero downtime, and no scars – have been a popular cosmetic treatment for faces for more than 15 years. Now the same radiofrequency skin tightening used since 2001 to make people look younger is gaining widespread recognition for making vaginas act and feel younger.

The Science of Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation

Radiofrequency is a common type of energy found in many aspects of daily life – from WiFi signals, xrays, radio and TV waves, and microwave ovens. Like any type of energy, radiofrequency is measured in “frequency,” or wavelengths per second.

The radiofrequency used in skin tightening is around 450 kilohertz, which is on the very low and “slow” end of the radiofrequency range. For example the radiofrequency (RF) of skin tightening treatments are more than 1 billion times slower/lower than an Xray. In other words, RF energy is very, very low when compared to the whole spectrum of electromagnetic energy.

How Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation Tightens Skin

Like any form of energy, radiofrequency produces heat. RF vaginal rejuvenation treatments work by heating the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate new collagen and elastin production, and encourage new cell regeneration. This in turn helps skin lining the vagina to become firmer, thicker and more youthful.

The advantage of using radiofrequency to heat vaginal tissue – as opposed to using the higher frequency lasers – is that the lower frequency of radiofrequency can safely penetrate to a deeper level. In other words, while high frequency lasers improve the skin’s surface, radiofrequency penetrates the skin to improve skin tone and structure, even lifting tissues.

Studies Show Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation is Safe

Everyone is exposed to low levels of radiofrequency energy every day, from cell phones, TVs, WiFi, and more. Because it’s used for so many things, RF has been extensively studied for many decades to determine its impact on humans. However, there is no conclusive evidence that radiofrequency exposure increases cancer risk in humans, even in those individuals who are regularly exposed to higher amounts of radiofrequency on their jobs.

The main known risk of radiofrequency exposure is the potential for burns from the thermal heat RF generates – but ONLY if it is administered in high doses without proper protection. However, the radiofrequency used in FDA-approved non-surgical tissue tightening is highly controlled and administered at very low doses for complete safety.

If the RF vaginal rejuvenation procedure is performed correctly by a trained medical professional, there should be no risk at all of burns or even discomfort from the heat. The radiofrequency in vaginal tightening treatments is highly controlled, and the equipment allows the doctor to closely monitor and control the device during treatment to ensure that the vaginal tissue reaches the optimal temperature to stimulate new collagen production and cell regeneration – without ever overheating the vagina.

Many clinical studies have demonstrated the excellent safety profile of radiofrequency for facial skin tightening as well as vaginal rejuvenation.

New Alternatives to Vaginal Mesh for Bladder Leak Treatment

/in , , /by

Alternatives to Vaginal Mesh for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Bladder leaks are frustrating and embarrassing, yet they happen to almost 40% of women either after vaginal childbirth or after menopause. Sadly – because of some dangerous and ineffective bladder procedures used by doctors in the past – many women avoid pursuing any treatment at all and just “live with” urinary incontinence.

The great news is that there are now non-surgical, non-invasive bladder leak treatments that are 100% safe and highly effective!

The Dangers of Vaginal Mesh

If you own a television, you have no doubt seen the many attorneys’ commercials advertising for individuals who have had a trans-vaginal mesh implant. This mesh looks like a fishing net made of either metal, fiber or plastic. In the 1970s some gynecological surgeons started to use meshes to treat pelvic organ prolapse, as well as “stress urinary incontinence” (bladder leaks).

Because so many women suffer from urinary incontinence, over 100,000 procedures using transvaginal mesh were being performed in the United States every year. But women began to experience both mild and very serious complications from the mesh. And because the mesh is a permanent implant that literally becomes enveloped by the body tissue, it typically cannot be removed if complications occur.

As a result, the FDA now recommends that women and their doctors carefully consider other treatment options – and only use trans-vaginal mesh as a last resort.

 Poor Vaginal Mesh Alternatives

Many doctors preach that weight loss and exercising, along with Kegel exercises, can help improve stress incontinence. But for Kegel exercises to be effective, they have to be done every day. And, we all know how hard losing weight can be – particularly after menopause.

Other undesirable options to treat stress urinary incontinence are also sometimes recommended, such as inserting an object into the vagina to physically hold the bladder – such as a “pessary” or “vaginal cone” or a surgically inserted sling (urethropexy). Electrical stimulation or biofeedback have also been tried, but require the insertion of electronic devices.

Radiofrequency the Best Alternative to Vaginal Mesh

Because of the newness of radiofrequency vaginal treatments for stress urinary incontinence, many doctors or gynecologists may simply not be familiar with this amazing technology yet.

The vagina, like the face, is made up of skin. And all types of skin rely on collagen for elasticity, tone and overall youthfulness.  As we age, and as female hormone production decreases over time, the skin on the face and in the vagina loses its tightness, and becomes dry, and lax.

State of the art Geneveve radiofrequency technology stimulates the production of collagen in the vagina – “rejuvenating” the tissue to a more firm, plump, elastic and youthful state, with just one single treatment.  This treatment not only improves sexual sensation and performance, but also stops or substantial reduces bladder leaks due to stress incontinence.

Before you agree to have any type of surgery, electronic device, or vaginal device inserted schedule a consultation to learn about non-surgical, non-invasive Geneveve radiofrequency treatment for bladder leaks (stress urinary incontinence.)

FDA Approval for Vaginal Tightening Treatment Clinical Studies

/in , /by

Viveve Announces FDA Approval to Continue Studies on Vaginal Tightening

Vaginal looseness or “laxity” that causes loss of sexual sensation is a medical condition affecting more than 40% of women. Yet, because many women are embarrassed to talk about it – coupled with the fact that the medical community was male dominated until relatively recently – this problem was largely ignored. And when vaginal laxity was addressed, dangerous and invasive surgery was the only option.

The good news is that new vaginal tightening treatments for vaginal laxity are finally available, very safe, and do NOT require painful surgery.

12 Month Geneveve Vaginal Tightening Treatment Study

Viveve Medical, Inc. is a women’s health company dedicated to advancing medical solutions that improve women’s quality of life. Viveve has patented the GENEVEVE™ treatment, which uses clinically-proven cryogen-cooled, monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) technology to stimulate the production of collagen in areas of the vagina and pelvic floor. By “rejuvenating” the tissues in these areas with radio frequency, the vagina can be “tightened” – leading to improved sexual sensation and function.

Geneveve already has international regulatory approvals and clearances for treating vaginal laxity and/or improvement in sexual function indications in more than 55 countries around the world.

An initial clinical study was also very successful, and the safety data was sufficient for the FDA to grant continued enrollment of up to 100 subjects in second stage of sexual function trial. In March, Viveve received FDA approval to proceed with a second clinical trial (VIVEVE II) to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Viveve® System for the improvement of sexual function in women following vaginal childbirth.

Following FDA review of the second stage of safety data, Viveve plans to expand the study and continue enrollment of up to 250 patients to study the positive effects of Geneveve vaginal tightening treatment on vaginal laxity and sexual sensation.

Radiofrequency has been FDA approved for almost a decade for tightening laxity in the face. And in the initial study absolutely no complications, side effects or risks were found. In the second phase of the study female patients will also be assessed for safety – as well as for improvement in “FSFI”: Desire, Lubrication, Orgasm, Arousal, Satisfaction, and Pain.

Vaginal Rejuvenation in Younger Women after Childbirth

/in , /by

Clinical Studies Prove Effectiveness of Vaginal Rejuvenation in Younger Women after Childbirth

Due to a number of cause – from childbirth and aging, to reduced hormone production, to genetics or even trauma – the vagina can become loose and lax over time. The result is often stress urinary incontinence (bladder leaks), itching, burning and dryness, decreased sensation during sex, and painful intercourse.

Previously, these conditions could only be treated with dangerous hormones, or painful and expensive surgery. Recently, however, surgical procedures, medications and topical creams have been replaced with new, noninvasive, energy-based systems of vaginal rejuvenation.

However, a new non-invasive, non-surgical treatment is now available for women seeking to revitalize and strengthen the elasticity of the vaginal wall and improve the natural lubrication of their vaginal tissue. The Geneveve System from Viveve Medical uses a proprietary form of radiofrequency based energy to remodel collagen and restore the tissue in the vaginal.

Two clinical reports have been published demonstrating the effectiveness of Geneveve Vaginal rejuvenation device for treating vaginal laxity following vaginal child birth in women before menopause.

Geneveve Vaginal Rejuvenation Study #1

A pilot clinical study was conducted on 24 women who had delivered children vaginally. The women were between the ages of 25 and 44 years. Reverse gradient radiofrequency energy was delivered through the “vaginal mucosa” (tissue).

Results from the study showed that after only 1 month after vaginal radiofrequency treatment, 67% of the women reported that vaginal tightness had already significantly improved. By 6 months almost 90% of the patients reported a substantial improvement in vaginal tightness.

Additionally, the women also reported that their sexual function had improved. And absolutely no adverse effects or complications were reported during the vaginal rejuvenation study.

Geneveve Vaginal Rejuvenation Study #2

In another clinical study, 30 pre-menopausal women between the ages of 21 and 52 were treated with a single 30-min office treatment using Geneveve radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation. 100% of the patients reported a significant improvement in sexual function at 6 months after treatment, and all of the women also reported a decrease in discomfort and/or pain during sex.

Every participant in the clinical study also reported a decrease vaginal laxity (looseness) within the first month after the treatment, as well as sustained vaginal tightening through 12 months.

Board certified plastic surgeon Doctor Ali stays on the cutting edge of the latest prevention, treatment, and management strategies for women’s vaginal health and wellbeing. The new Geneveve radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation treatment enables women and their physicians to have another treatment option to consider, while weighing the associated risks and benefits.

Choosing the Right Vaginal Rejuvenation Doctor

/in , /by

Choosing a Doctor for Vaginal Rejuvenation

In previous articles we discussed the many different types of vaginal rejuvenation procedures that are now available. From medications, to surgery, to state-of-the-art treatment, a woman now has choices in treating painful intercourse, vaginal looseness or dryness and/or embarrassing bladder leaks.

But the single most important decision a woman will make when considering vaginal rejuvenation is who will perform the procedure.

Obviously, surgical procedures such as labiaplasty and vaginoplasty are complex surgeries requiring highly specialized training and experience to ensure patient safety and achieve a successful outcome. But even non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedures require special training, and should only be performed by a highly experienced, licensed medical provider.

Choosing Your Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment

To begin with, only doctor can help you determine the underlying medical condition causing your vaginal problems – including painful sex or bladder leaks. And diagnosing the underlying cause is essential to choosing the right treatment to restore vaginal and pelvic function.

For example, Geneveve radiofrequency vaginal rejuvenation is very effective in reducing or eliminating bladder leaks due to “stress urinary incontinence” (SUI). But Geneveve treatments do not remedy bladder leaks caused by urge Incontinence (overactive bladder) which is a condition in which the brain, spinal cord and bladder don’t work together properly release urine at the right time.

Since many vaginal rejuvenation treatments are often not covered by health insurance, a woman can end up paying thousands of dollars for the wrong treatment, if it is not properly selected by an experienced women’s health professional.

Choosing Your Vaginal Rejuvenation Doctor

Always check your doctor’s credentials before agreeing to have a vaginal rejuvenation procedure or surgery. Do not have these treatments performed at a spa or other facility without a qualified doctor conducting or supervising the treatment.

Choosing a plastic surgeon like Doctor Ali who is board certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) is a good place to start. Board certified plastic surgeons undergo a minimum of 1 to 2 years of cosmetic surgery training beyond medical school, and exclusively operate in accredited surgical facilities.

When performed by a highly qualified medical doctor, vaginal rejuvenation procedures can enhance and improve many aspects of a woman’s life. The best way to learn more is to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali for a consultation.
