How to change your life in 40 minutes with ThermiVa: A revolutionary treatment

Georgia Black tries out a revolutionary treatment for the most intimate body part...

When alcohol flows and the chat gets louder, the ‘side effect’ of sneezing and jumping on trampolines is the subject of incredulity and hilarity amongst my group of girlfriends. It may not be everyone’s ideal topic of conversation but we’re in our late 30s to mid-40s with at least a couple of kids each under our belts – and this is what happens, right? Good job for us we can laugh about it but vaginal laxity, whether caused by childbirth, ageing or any other reason, is a serious business that we should be talking about and, more importantly, doing something about it.

For women in France and Switzerland, looking after the condition of their female parts is second nature with hospitals offering treatment and advice to strengthen the pelvic floor. And while we’re still so very British about the matter here in the UK, the new wellness clinic at Dr Nestor’s Medical Centre on Dundas Street has taken a giant leap for womankind with the introduction of ThermiVa, a treatment which claims to revitalise and tighten one's nether regions using radio frequency energy to stimulate collagen production and blood flow. Each session takes only 40 minutes (three treatments are recommended, spaced four weeks apart), is pain-free with no downtime, and results can last for about two years.

 

The treatment feels like a hot stone massage for my er, ‘down below’. Now, there’s something I never thought I’d say

 

Too good an opportunity to pass up, I find myself, pants off, with the very lovely (female) Dr Fazzi taking photos of my shaved bits, for medical purposes, obviously, and a firm promise of total anonymity. Then, the ‘magic wand’ appears – the ThermiVa handpiece – and is moved around the vaginal canal in steady circular movements, to gently heat the tissue and, in return, produce collagen. I feel warmth and a slight tugging, but nothing else and, externally, the treatment feels like a hot stone massage for my er, ‘down below’. Now, there’s something I never thought I’d say. Although some clients notice differences immediately, the improvements became very obvious to me one week in and, apparently, I’ll notice more changes in the weeks to come.

This treatment is revolutionary and I’m already excited about session two. I’m fully expecting the difference to be like night and day. And I’ll know. I’ll have the photos to prove it...
