Due to causes ranging from childbirth and aging to genetics, your vagina and its surrounding tissues may lose elasticity, firmness, lubrication, sensation and strength. This can lead to several issues such as urinary incontinence (leaking urine), vaginal dryness and/or painful intercourse, vaginal looseness, reduced sensation, difficulty with orgasm, loss of libido, and sagging/crepey skin externally.

Vaginal rejuvenation isn’t a single procedure, but rather an umbrella term that includes several different treatments.

Available at Renew MediSpa:

• ThermiVa and FormaV– these are “sister” procedures- both delivering radiofrequency energy to the vaginal lining and to the external skin, to restore tissue health and firm and tighten. They also stimulate new blood vessel formation and improved nerve sensation. These are “no needles involved” procedures.
• Morpheus 8V– a radiofrequency microneedling procedure specially designed for the vaginal canal as well as the external skin. This procedure does require numbing but the microneedling component enhances the treatment effect and gives us the ability to deliver more heat than is possible with ThermiVa or FormaV. 
• V-Tone– specialized electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor and other surrounding muscle fibers- to tighten, increase sensation, and treat all forms of urinary incontinence. 
• PRP Injection- the “O shot”– injection of a concentrated solution of your own platelets, obtained from a simple blood draw on the da of your procedure. Platelets are rich in growth factors, which will thus further enhance your tissue healing and your response to other treatment modalities. 
• Femiwave (low intensity shockwave therapy)- low intensity shockwave therapy has been used for decades in the medical field. It delivers a special type of microinjury to stimulate the healing response in the region treated. It requires no numbing and is completely non-invasive. It is especially helpful in stimulating improved sensation, and can also help with incontinence. 
• Aviva Femtite – a minimally invasive procedure in which a probe is inserted under the skin after topical and injectable numbing. Radiofrequency energy, well known medically for it’s ability to restore lost collagen and elastin and both smooth and tighten skin- will be delivered to the target tissue which can include the pubic region, the labia majora and the labia minora. Improvement in skin texture and tightening begins to become apparent once localized swelling has resolved. It will then continue to improve further over the course of 3 to 6 months. Aviva FemTite can be combined with any of our other intimate wellness procedures- it is most commonly paired with Morpheus8V but it can also be done as a stand alone procedure.

In most cases, unfortunately, vaginal rejuvenation procedures are not covered by traditional insurance plans. The cost can however be covered by funds set aside in Heath Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flex Spending Accounts (FSA) which may be available through your employer.

We do not bill insurance (we are not providers with any insurance carriers) but we can usually process HSA and FSA payment cards and provide any documentation you may need to submit to support the expenditure.

Yes- if you purchase your procedure(s) through our Mobile App you can elect to use Affirm- with options for zero interest as well as longer financing options that would have an interest charge. Visit https://renewmedispa.repeatmd.app to explore this option.

We are able to process Care Credit cards for payment ONLY IF they have a major credit company logo on the card- such as Visa or Mastercard.

The procedure itself is done in 20 minutes on average though it may take longer if the full pubic area is being treated also. We will do our best to estimate this for you at the time of consultation. Numbing time could take 45 minutes. 

Most clients are expected to do well with a single Aviva FemTite procedure. Once you have achieved the desired degree of tightening, you could consider future ‘maintenance’ procedures with FormaV which does not require numbing and has no significant downtime! Or, you could repeat the Aviva FemTiteprocedure a few years later or whenever you were noting that laxity had returned (as we cannot stop the aging process).

Yes, all of our equipment has been cleared for use by the FDA.

The Aviva FemTite procedure would be performed by Dr. Lisa Vuich or by Heather Dozois, ARNP.

We take great care to assure that you are as comfortable as possible during these advanced procedures. We will utilize topical as well as injection numbing. We also have ProNox available to help you relax. 

A consultation is recommended in order for us to make the best recommendation regarding your treatment plan. We will base our recommendation on the type of symptom(s) you are experiencing and the severity of the symptom(s), and your history of past treatments/interventions. In some cases you will have more than one treatment option available to you, or a combination of procedures may be recommended. The Sexual Wellness consultation can be booked with an RN or medical assistant. If you live over an hour from our location, we may be able to accommodate phone consultations as well.

Primary contraindications include:
Pregnancy
Active malignancy or receiving chemotherapy
Active infection in the treatment zone
Pacemaker or Implanted Defibrillator is a contraindication for radiofrequency.

Ehlers Danlos patients would be expected to not respond well to collagen stimulating procedures due to their underlying condition.

This is a complex question with no easy answer, but we hear it all the time. Primary care providers are certainly usually managing a very high caseload these days, so time may be a factor. They also may not have read the studies backing these specific types of procedures, and thus do not have the information they need to have the discussion. In some instances we feel they may not be comfortable recommending something that is “not covered by insurance”.
