The Viveve System is a pain-free vaginal rejuvenation method. This system uses radiofrequency with a small amount of cryotherapy. The combination allows for deeper treatment of the muscle tissue than Viveve’s predecessors. Radiofrequency heats up the tissue, which contracts and tightens it.
Radiofrequency can heat the tissue to the muscle. This is only possible because cryotherapy cools the tip during insertion to prevent any burning sensation. The smart technology on the Viveve system senses how hot the tissue is and secretes the liquid nitrogen to protect the body for a pain-free, burn-free procedure. No numbing or lidocaine is necessary.
How Viveve Improves Vaginal Health
The Viveve System can improve vaginal health in a few ways, though it achieves this in two separate rounds.
The first round is used for sexual dysfunction. The Viveve device is inserted two centimeters into the vaginal vault. The device pulses 110 times to increase the amount of tissue being created. In turn, this assists with lubrication and muscle contraction, with the end goal of an increase in orgasms and help with sensitivity. Most women are considered to be good candidates for this procedure.
The second round is used to treat urinary incontinence. The device is inserted five centimeters into the vaginal vault and then repeats the 110 pulses. At this point, the device is treating the pelvic floor and strengthening the muscles around the urethra.
While this issue is most commonly seen in women after pregnancy or during menopause, both the first and second-round treatments can be administered to anyone experiencing urinary incontinence.
Viveve Timeline
The procedure takes around thirty to forty-five minutes, and there is no downtime required after the treatment. Tissue regrowth tends to take about three to four weeks. However, many patients see improvement in their health concerns before this time.
