How it works

Ongoing Results and Maintenance

Collagen remodeling continues for several weeks after each session, with full results typically appreciated after completing the series and giving the tissue four to six weeks to respond. Annual maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain results, and Dr. Rodriguez monitors your progress at follow-up appointments.
01

Consultation and Assessment

Based on your consultation, Dr. Rodriguez outlines a customized protocol, typically three sessions spaced four weeks apart, calibrated to your specific degree of laxity and any accompanying symptoms such as dryness or leakage. You leave with a clear picture of what to expect and when.

ThermiVA Treatment Session

During each session, a small curved handpiece delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to both the external vulvar tissue and internal vaginal canal, gently heating the tissue to stimulate collagen remodeling. Most patients describe a warm, comfortable sensation throughout, and the entire appointment is complete in under an hour.

Ideal candidate

ThermiVA may be a good fit if you

  • Experiencing vaginal laxity after childbirth or with natural aging that affects sensation or comfort during intimacy
  • Managing mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence, such as leakage with coughing, sneezing, or physical activity
  • Dealing with vaginal dryness or atrophic changes related to menopause or hormonal shifts that have not resolved with topical treatments alone
  • Seeking a non-surgical option because surgery is not desired, not medically appropriate, or not yet necessary given the degree of laxity present
  • In generally good health without active vaginal infection, undiagnosed pelvic pain, or a history of pelvic malignancy that would require medical clearance before elective tissue treatment
Candidacy is confirmed during an in-person consultation with Dr. Rodriguez.
What to expect

Before, during, and after

Before
No special preparation is required before a ThermiVA session, but patients should arrive to their appointment without any active vaginal infection or open irritation in the treatment area. Avoid scheduling your session during your menstrual cycle, as the tissue is more sensitive and the handpiece cannot be used during active menstruation. Discontinue any blood-thinning supplements such as fish oil, vitamin E, or aspirin for at least five days prior if medically safe to do so, and inform Dr. Rodriguez of all current medications at your consultation.
During
ThermiVA requires no anesthesia and no sedation. You remain fully awake and comfortable throughout while a trained clinical team member guides the smooth radiofrequency handpiece externally along the labia and internally within the vaginal canal. The thermal energy is precisely controlled, and most patients feel a consistent warmth rather than discomfort. The session takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish.
After
You leave the office immediately after your session with no restrictions on daily activity, driving, or work. Mild warmth or slight sensitivity in the treated area is normal for a few hours and resolves on its own. Sexual activity is typically resumed within 24 to 48 hours, and Dr. Rodriguez will confirm that timeline based on how your tissue responds to the first session.
Recovery

What the first weeks may look like

●
First 24 Hours
Mild warmth and minor sensitivity are the most commonly reported sensations immediately following treatment. No wound care is needed, and patients return to full daily activity, including work and exercise, the same day.
●
Days 2 Through 7
Any residual sensitivity in the external tissue fully resolves within the first week. Sexual activity is generally comfortable by 48 hours post-treatment, and no topical products or restriction on hygiene routines are necessary.
●
Weeks 2 Through 6
Collagen remodeling is actively occurring beneath the surface during this period, even without visible signs of change. Many patients begin noticing improved sensation, reduced dryness, or greater tissue firmness by the end of the first month, particularly after the second session in the series.
●
After Full Series
Full results are assessed four to six weeks after the third and final session, when tissue remodeling has reached its peak response. Most patients maintain results for 12 to 18 months before an annual maintenance session is recommended to preserve the collagen improvements achieved.

The photos in this gallery are from real patients treated by Dr. Rodriguez at Rodriguez Rejuvenation, shared with each patient’s documented written consent. Because ThermiVA produces internal tissue changes, results are often experienced more than they are photographed, and external improvements vary meaningfully between individuals based on starting anatomy, age, and number of sessions completed. These images represent genuine outcomes and are never altered or selected to overstate typical results.
Individual results vary. Photos should only be used with documented patient consent.

What patients say about ThermiVA

Frequently Asked Questions about ThermiVA

Clear answers to common questions before your consultation.
How many ThermiVA sessions do I actually need?
The standard protocol is three sessions spaced approximately four weeks apart. Some patients with mild laxity or dryness notice meaningful improvement after one or two sessions, but the full three-session series produces the most durable collagen response. Dr. Rodriguez assesses your tissue at each visit and adjusts the plan if your response warrants it.
ThermiVA is considered an elective cosmetic procedure and is not covered by health insurance. Pricing at Rodriguez Rejuvenation is discussed during your consultation and reflects the full series rather than individual sessions. Financing options are available through our practice to make treatment accessible without requiring full payment upfront.
The treatment is well-tolerated by the vast majority of patients without any anesthesia or numbing agents. The sensation is described consistently as a gentle, steady warmth rather than pain. The handpiece temperature is precisely regulated so the tissue is heated therapeutically without exceeding a comfortable threshold.
Yes. While vaginal laxity and dryness are frequently associated with childbirth and menopause, hormonal changes, aging, and anatomical variation can affect women at any stage of life. Dr. Rodriguez evaluates your individual anatomy and symptoms at consultation to determine whether ThermiVA addresses your specific concerns, regardless of obstetric history.
Results from the initial three-session series typically last 12 to 18 months, after which most patients benefit from one annual maintenance session to sustain the collagen improvements. Individual results vary depending on tissue quality, age, and hormonal status, all of which Dr. Rodriguez factors into your long-term care plan.
ThermiVA has a well-established safety profile and does not carry the risks associated with surgical procedures. The most commonly reported side effects are transient warmth and mild sensitivity, both of which resolve within hours. Treatment is not appropriate during active vaginal infection, pregnancy, or if you have an undiagnosed pelvic condition, which is why a thorough medical review at consultation is a required first step.
If vaginal laxity, dryness, or discomfort has been affecting your quality of life, a private consultation with Dr. Rodriguez is the right first step. He listens carefully, evaluates your anatomy honestly, and recommends only what is clinically appropriate for you. Call Rodriguez Rejuvenation or request your consultation online to schedule your appointment in Houston.
