Votiva is an FDA approved laser treatment to treat vaginal relaxation, a condition most often caused by childbirth or aging. Votiva works to tighten the vaginal and pelvic floor muscles, granting you increased strength, control and confidence. It is a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedure.

​

Votiva uses two complimentary technologies to address your health

issues.  Votiva, with its FormaV handpiece gently and uniformly heats

the treated tissue, stimulating new collagen and elastin as well as

increasing blood flow and sensation to the treated areas.  It can be

used both internally and externally to produce stronger, tighter tissues.

​

Votiva FormaV is gentle and requires no topical anesthetic.  During

treatment a small device, roughly the size of an ultrasound probe is inserted internally for about ten minutes and applied externally for 10-15 minutes to deliver safe and effective heat to the labia, perineum, urethra, and clitoral areas. There is a warm sensation but no pain and no downtime following the procedure.

The second technology uses the Morpheus8 handpiece to remodel the external vaginal area only.  This uses a more aggresive radio frequency to contract and tighten vaginal tissue and correct labial hypertrophy. It may also be used to treat cosmetic issues like wrinkles and loose skin of the labia.  This procedure requires a topical anesthetic as there may be some discomfort.  While there is no downtime, we do recommend no tubs, pools, or sex for 2-3 days afterwards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What results may I expect?

​

Some patients report almost immediate results, however, final results of a single treatment are usually visible after the first few weeks.  Votiva patients report improvement in lubrication, decreased pain, and vaginal discomfort.  Bladder control is improved but most need three treatments for optimum results. We recommend a series of three spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
