Vaginal Rejuvenation

The Viveve™ treatment is a non-surgical treatment. It is an effective treatment for both vaginal laxity and stress urinary incontinence. It works by using radiofrequency waves (RF) to stimulate the tissue in the vagina. Just like skin, vaginal tissue is made up of collagen fibres. During childbirth these tissues can overstretch, which damages the collagen. This process can also occur naturally as we age. The RF energy used in Viveve encourages natural collagen production, which tightens and strengthens the tissue. RF has been used safely for medical treatments for over 75 years.

You can expect to see results from around 30 days post-treatment, as the collagen begins to generate. Studies have shown an initial rebuilding in collagen production followed by a slower sustained effect. The best results are obtained around 90 days post-treatment. Women in these studies reported an improved level of sensation, arousal, lubrication and orgasm, as well as improvement in the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

One study showed that 90% of women treated had a significant, sustained tightening for 12 months post-treatment. The benefits from just one treatment last for at least 12 months.

Geneveve is suitable for anyone over the age of 18, and new mothers at least six months post-delivery and/or post-nursing.

The Viveve™ treatment is not an option if you have any form of implantable electrical device such as a pacemaker or automated implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD). Other contraindications, such as pregnancy and planned pregnancies, will be discussed at your initial consultation.

These are testimonials from two of our clients:

“The procedure is so straightforward and totally pain-free. Dr Mayoni put me at ease and the whole process took around half an hour. I had no pain or discomfort afterward and no downtime was needed.” (KO, 42)

“[…] Results really are confidence boosting, especially for those of us not in very long-term relationships, and the internal results also turn back the clock” (RS, 48)

Top blogger The Slummy Single Mummy also visited The Clinic for the Viveve treatment (formerly known as Geneveve by Viveve), and posted a review of her experience on her website. You can read it in full here: “Slummy Single Mummy: My rejuvenated vagina, three months on“.

The first step is to book in for a confidential consultation with Dr Mayoni. Dr Mayoni specialised in colorectal and pelvic floor surgery in her early career, and spent three years researching incontinence in women. She understands what a sensitive topic this is, and that it can be difficult to talk about. You can rest assured that it is nothing to feel embarrassed about: there is nothing weird or abnormal about this problem and you are not alone. A private consultation with Dr Mayoni will allow you to talk through the details of the treatment and find out if it’s right for you. You can book via our online booking service.
