Let’s face it, talking about your vagina can be a bit embarrassing. And because of that, many women don’t realize their options for vaginal health. Many women think plastic surgery is the only option to improve issues, like vaginal laxity. But modern cosmetic treatments include a non-invasive option, complete in one 60-minute visit.
Intimate health rejuvenation with Viveve uses cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency technology. Simply put, heat from the laser stimulates collagen growth while cooling the area at the same time. Viveve doesn’t only help with vaginal laxity – it may also treat dryness, difficulty having an orgasm, urinary incontinence, an overactive bladder, and more.
Stadia Med Spa in San Antonio, TX, wants to make your intimate health rejuvenation as pain-free and easy as possible with Vivive. Keep reading to learn more about Viveve, including the benefits, procedure, and FAQs.

One of the reasons why women institute a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for vaginal health is because, in the past, the only option to improve vaginal laxity was surgery. Viveve is a new office-based, non-surgical medical procedure for vaginal laxity. The 30-minute procedure does not require anesthesia and is performed by a trained physician in an outpatient setting.
Just like skin, vaginal tissue is made up of collagen fibers. During vaginal childbirth, these tissues can overstretch, damaging the collagen and creating a feeling of looseness (laxity), especially around the vaginal opening.
Women who experience laxity may also notice a decreased feeling of sensation and sexual satisfaction during intercourse. These changes can affect a woman’s overall sexual health and quality of life.
Vaginal laxity can also cause urinary incontinence, lack of stimulation, friction, vaginal dryness, and pain. Most women would rather live with these uncomfortable symptoms than seek out treatment.
Intimate health rejuvenation with Viveve uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate the body’s natural collagen formation processes. New collagen increases vaginal tightness and might improve sexual satisfaction.
However, Viveve doesn’t only help laxity. It can also treat:
The Viveve Treatment is the only clinically proven and effective, non-surgical procedure designed for your vaginal health. The procedure requires little to no downtime, and you can return to your normal activities immediately following the treatment.
Two clinical studies have been published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine and the Journal of Women’s Health on Viveve’s effectiveness. Results analyzed studies with a total of 54 in the U.S. and Japan. Participants showed a significant improvement in vaginal tightness – to pre-childbirth levels – at one, three, six, and twelve months following treatment.
At 12 months, 88% of women showed improved and sustained tightness. Significant improvement in sexual satisfaction was indicated through a 12-month follow-up. These results were achieved after a single, painless, office-based Viveve Procedure.
Vaginal laxity is extremely common. A Viveve-sponsored survey of U.S. OB/GYN physicians revealed that vaginal laxity is the number one physical change they see in their patients following vaginal delivery. Vaginal laxity was indicated to be more common than weight gain, incontinence, stretch marks, and other common side effects of childbirth. In a survey of more than four hundred women in the U.S. who had vaginal deliveries, nearly half reported some level of concern with vaginal laxity.
Kegel exercises are the most commonly known and prescribed treatment for vaginal laxity. However, while Kegels may help improve the strength of the pelvic floor by improving muscle tone, they do not address lax tissue between the muscle and the vaginal surface.
Surgical options currently available to women include significant recovery time and post-procedure pain. These options also involve various health risks and can include high out-of-pocket costs. Currently, there are no other non-surgical devices specifically designed for the treatment of vaginal laxity.
In contrast, the safe and non-invasive Viveve Treatment works at the cellular level to rebuild and restore collagen and, as a result, can increase vaginal tightness and improve sexual satisfaction.
Before, During & After
Stadia MedSpa offers a free consultation to determine if Intimate Health Rejuvenation with Viveve is the ideal treatment for you. During your consultation, one of our medical professionals will ask about your intimate health and troubling symptoms.
At this time, they may suggest additional treatments or another treatment altogether to ensure that you achieve optimal results!
Wash the vaginal/vulvar area on the morning of treatment. Most women drive themselves to and from the procedure, but if you think you may need someone to accompany you to your visit, please make appropriate arrangements.
Write down questions you may have for your healthcare professional so you don’t forget them on the day of the procedure.
The Viveve Treatment is performed by a trained physician in their medical office or clinic. The procedure takes about 30 minutes.
Viveve works via a small probe that emits cryogen-cooling to protect the tissue, and radiofrequency waves heat the tissue. The Viveve® System fits comfortably inside the vaginal canal and most women find the procedure easy to tolerate. In a majority of cases, no topical anesthetic is required. Clients describe a sensation of heating and cooling during the treatment, but usually no pain or discomfort.
Most patients resume normal activity immediately after the procedure, but women vary in their post-procedure course. You should abstain from sexual activity for at least 48 hours while the treatment area heals. Avoid using a tampon or inserting anything into your vagina in the first few days following your procedure. Before you leave, schedule a follow-up appointment and address any questions/concerns you might have with your Stadia Med Spa provider.
Intimate Health Rejuvenation with Viveve is a treatment for women experiencing vaginal dryness and laxity. The non-invasive procedure uses radiofrequency and cooling technologies to heat and cool the inside of the vagina.
The procedure stimulates collagen production to tighten your vagina, increase natural lubrication, and counter any symptoms associated with vaginal laxity. You can improve your sex life, get rid of any lingering discomfort from a vaginal birth, and combat urinary incontinence with one simple, 60-minute procedure.
Intimate Health Rejuvenation with Viveve is for women who have recently given birth or are approaching menopause. However, any woman suffering from vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, or difficulty reaching orgasm may benefit from Viveve.
The Viveve Treatment is contraindicated for patients with either an implantable pacemaker or an AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter/Defibrillator) or any other implantable device as they may be adversely affected by radiofrequency (RF) fields or current.
Typically, women start to feel the results of their treatment after four weeks. It takes time for the collagen to build up in the vaginal wall. Results build over time, and most clients feel and see a notable difference at three months.
Side effects seldom occur and are typically mild, temporary, and resolve shortly after treatment. They include slight, white vaginal discharge; redness or swelling; slight abdominal discomfort, focal, transient altered sensation, and tingling.
In rare cases, a Viveve patient could develop an infection requiring antibiotics. Although no permanent complications have been reported, damage to the urethra or rectum is a remote possibility.
Most patients feel significant changes at three months, and results can last for 12 months to a year. You can retain your results with regular maintenance visits at Stadia Med Spa once or twice a year. Viveve is not permanent, but it does reverse some of the signs and symptoms of aging
