VIVEVE - The Vaginal Tightening Treatment for Women's Intimate Health Q & A

Updated: Jan 23



WHAT IS THE VIVEVE® SYSTEM?


Viveve is TGA approved for the treatment of the vagina and vaginal introitus (after vaginal childbirth), to improve sexual function.


The Viveve® System, formerly known as Geneveve®, provides the only treatment to resolve vaginal laxity, incontinence, dryness, and increasing sexuality. It is a fantastic choice for women who desire non-invasive in clinic treatment to improve symptoms of laxity or loss of sensation, urge incontinence, stress incontinence, and overactive bladder. This unique technology stimulates the body’s natural collagen formation process. Doctors and patients report the Viveve procedure delivers a noticeable tightening of the entire vaginal barrel for increased friction and pleasure during sexual intimacy, greater bladder control, and more youthful vaginal tissue.


HOW DOES THE VIVEVE® SYSTEM WORK?

The Viveve System delivers a low amount of frequency energy to the tissue inside the vagina near the opening. The Viveve System is a dual-energy platform device. It uses Cryogen-Cooled Monopolar Radiofrequency Technology to uniformly deliver heating while gently cooling surface tissue to generate production of collagen in one treatment session. This unique technology stimulates the body's natural collagen formation process. However, treatment sessions are based on each individual. The dual mode cools and protects the surface tissue while heating the deeper tissue, and your body responds to the treatment by generating new and restoring existing collagen.


The natural collagen then rebuilding process begins immediately and continues gradually over 30 to 90 days. Typically, women start to feel the results in about 30 days and the full effect at about 90 days. Studies have shown sustained results could last for 12 months.

HOW LONG IS THE VIVEVE TREATMENT TAKE?

The Viveve treatment takes approximately 30-50 minutes to complete in our clinic. Our Healthcare Professionals will go through the consent form and what to expect before the session.


IS THE VIVEVE TREATMENT PAINFUL?

Most women find the procedure are comfortable. You may feel a cool sensation followed by warmth. Many women describe the sensation as being similar to that of urinating in the shower.


ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS FROM VIVEVE TREATMENT?

There are very few side effects following your Viveve procedure.


HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT TO HAVE VAGINAL INTERCOURSE AFTER THE TREATMENT?

We recommended that you wait 48 hours after your treatment before having vaginal intercourse or using tampons. This allows the treated tissue to begin recovery and start the collagen building process.


HOW MANY SESSIONS OF THE VIVEVE TREATMENT WILL I NEED TO DO BEFORE I CAN SEE RESULTS?

Only ONE! However, results could be varied from person to person given the amount of tissue laxity and the body's natural response to the treatment.


DOES THE VIVEVE® TREATMENT REQUIRE DOWN TIME?

This system utilises cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) technology to create volumetric heating at exact temperatures to stimulate robust neocollagenesis. The energy is controlled by specific algorithms to deliver evenly and consistently deep into the tissue to stimulate the healing response. The procedure is pain-free, and fast with no downtime.


WHO WILL PERFORM THE VIVEVE TREATMENT?

Our well-trained Registered Nurse will perform the treatment.


HOW SOON WILL I SEE/FEEL IMPROVEMENT AFTE THE TREATMENT?

Most women feel improvement within a few weeks, with noticeable improvement in sensitivity, tightness, reduction or elimination of stress incontinence within 4-8 weeks.
