Vaginal rejuvenation encompasses a range of procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance and functionality of the vaginal and vulvar areas. Whether addressing aesthetic concerns, improving sexual satisfaction, or alleviating discomfort, these treatments offer solutions for various physical and emotional needs.
When considering vaginal rejuvenation, choosing the right treatment is essential for achieving the desired results while ensuring comfort and safety. In this blog, Dr. Lisa Jukes from Modern Women's Health Gynecology & Aesthetics explores how AVIVA stands against other popular vaginal rejuvenation methods.
What is AVIVA?
AVIVA is a minimally invasive procedure that offers a non-surgical alternative to traditional labiaplasty. Powered by AccuTite™ and combined with Morpheus8™ radiofrequency microneedling, AVIVA effectively tightens the labia minora, labia majora, clitoral hood, and vaginal opening. This innovative treatment not only enhances aesthetic appearance but also improves sexual functionality and reduces recurrent vaginitis.
Here’s why we love AVIVA at Modern Women’s Health:
- Non-surgical: Avoids the risks and downtime associated with surgery.
- Minimal Downtime: Typically requires only two days of recovery.
- Comprehensive Tightening: Targets multiple areas for holistic improvement.
- Enhanced Functionality: Improves clitoral stimulation and vaginal health.
- Long-lasting Results: Effects can last 3-5 years with maintenance treatments.
AVIVA vs. Traditional Labiaplasty
Traditional labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the size or shape of the labia minora and/or labia majora. While it is a well-established method, it involves cutting and removing excess tissue, which requires anesthesia and has a longer recovery period. AVIVA, on the other hand, offers a minimally invasive and non-surgical alternative to traditional labiaplasty.
Invasiveness
- Traditional Labiaplasty: Involves surgical incisions and tissue removal.
- AVIVA: Utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) with small incisions and no tissue excision.
Recovery Time
- Traditional Labiaplasty: Typically requires several weeks of recovery with the potential for scarring and discomfort.
- AVIVA: Minimal downtime, usually around two days, with reduced risk of scarring and a quicker return to daily activities.
Risks and Complications
- Traditional Labiaplasty: Includes risks such as bleeding, infection, and uneven results.
- AVIVA: Lower risk profile with fewer complications due to its non-surgical nature.
Results
- Traditional Labiaplasty: Immediate and permanent changes to the labial structure.
- AVIVA: Gradual tissue tightening and improvement over 3-6 months, with results lasting 3-5 years and maintenance options available.
AVIVA vs. Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Laser vaginal rejuvenation utilizes laser energy to boost collagen production, tighten vaginal tissues, and enhance sexual function. AVIVA offers a comprehensive approach, improving clitoral stimulation and reducing recurrent vaginitis. Its combination of RFAL (Radiofrequency Assisted Lipolysis) and microneedling provides more effective and longer-lasting results than traditional laser treatments.
Technology
- Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation: Uses focused laser beams to target vaginal tissues.
- AVIVA: Employs radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis combined with Morpheus8™ microneedling for comprehensive tissue tightening.
Effectiveness
- Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation: Effective for collagen stimulation and mild tightening.
- AVIVA: Provides more significant tightening and retraction of tissues, including the labia minora, labia majora, clitoral hood, and vaginal opening.
Treatment Experience
- Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation: Typically painless with minimal discomfort.
- AVIVA: Performed under local anesthesia with injectable anesthesia and oral pain relief, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure.
Maintenance and Longevity
- Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation: Results may require more frequent maintenance sessions.
- AVIVA: Results last 3-5 years with yearly FormaV maintenance to sustain collagen and elastin formation.
AVIVA vs. Radiofrequency Treatments
Radiofrequency (RF) treatments for vaginal rejuvenation use RF energy to heat and tighten tissues, promoting collagen production and enhancing elasticity. AVIVA offers a more advanced, customized approach with its dual-action mechanism, ensuring comprehensive tightening and rejuvenation for lasting improvements in vaginal health and appearance.
Comprehensive Technology
- Standard RF Treatments: Focus primarily on tissue tightening and collagen stimulation.
- AVIVA: Integrates RFAL with Morpheus8™ microneedling, addressing both internal and external tissues for enhanced tightening and rejuvenation.
Procedure Specifics
- Standard RF Treatments: May involve external application or limited internal treatment.
- AVIVA: Delivers RF heat energy internally and externally via a specialized probe, ensuring uniform and thorough tissue retraction.
Customization and Personalization
- Standard RF Treatments: Often follow a standardized protocol.
- AVIVA: Personalized to meet each patient’s specific needs, ensuring tailored results that address individual concerns.
Durability of Results
- Standard RF Treatments: Results can be effective but may require ongoing maintenance.
- AVIVA: Offers durable results lasting up to 5 years with proper maintenance, providing long-term benefits with fewer sessions.
