Over time, women’s vaginal areas undergo various significant changes. Skin laxity, loss of collagen, reduced estrogen levels, and childbirth-related damage can cause symptoms that are bothersome for many women. These symptoms are both cosmetic and functional and can affect a woman’s interest in sexual activity and impair her confidence. Votiva delivers quick and comfortable treatment to improve feminine health and quality of life.

Procedure
Votiva offers FormaV and FractoraV non-invasive technologies that address several internal and external concerns.
FormaV
FormaV remodels and tightens internal and external vaginal tissue with the use of radiofrequency (RF™) technology. By applying thermal energy, FormaV can internally thicken and tighten the vaginal walls, rejuvenate the vaginal lining and externally treat tissue laxity as well as labial hypertrophy giving a more youthful appearance.
FractoraV
FractoraV uses more aggressive RF™ technology to contract and tighten external vaginal tissue and correct labial hypertrophy. It may also be used to treat superficial issues such as displeasing texture.
Recovery and Results
Many patients may return to work one day following their Votiva treatment. Patients usually experience slight discomfort or none at all. Patients normally feel a mild heating sensation during their treatment. Results from Votiva treatment are noticeable immediately, and improvements are expected to continue in the months after. Treatments are spaced 2-4 weeks apart. The number of treatments is determined by the your personal goals. A majority of patients require 2-3 sessions, but you will notice the difference with one.
