How to Combat Vaginal Atrophy and Improve Sexual Pleasure – The Latest Innovation in Feminine Rejuvenation

Vaginal atrophy is a condition that can have many different causes from decreased estrogen levels to childbirth. Regardless of the cause, it can have an impact on everything from comfort and pleasure during sexual intercourse to a woman’s overall health and well-being. 

At Columbia Laser Skin Center in The Dalles, OR, we offer non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments using the Viveve® device to restore both comfort and sensuality. This gentle treatment can improve vaginal laxity, lubrication, and more. Our treatments are given with the highest level of care as well as sensitivity to your unique situation.

Exploring the Link Between Vaginal Atrophy and Sexual Satisfaction

Just like in other areas of your body, collagen and elastin play a major role in the health of your vaginal tissues. Over time, the decrease in production of these essential proteins can cause the skin of your vagina to become more thin and dry while losing much of its elasticity. This can cause several things to happen at once. 

You may experience a loss of adequate lubrication which can make sex more painful. You may also notice a decrease in the desire to have sex as well as in your sensitivity and ability to orgasm. Vaginal tightening can help to restore your vaginal wall and increase sexual satisfaction.

What Are the Symptoms of Vaginal Atrophy?

• Stress incontinence: You may experience small amounts of urine leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise, or you may have a strong need to urinate but can’t get to the bathroom in time. Urinary issues can be one of the first noticeable signs of vaginal atrophy.
• Feeling of looseness: If the vaginal wall feels looser than before, especially during sexual intercourse, it might be a symptom of vaginal atrophy. The sensation may also make the fit with your partner feel less snug than in the past.
• Decreased physical sensation during sex: Vaginal atrophy can lead to less physical sensation during sex, making the experience less enjoyable and affecting your overall satisfaction.
• Tampons slipping: If tampons feel like they are going to slip out, this can be a clear sign of vaginal atrophy.
• Air flowing from the vagina: An unusual symptom like feeling air flowing from the vagina is another potential sign of vaginal atrophy.
• Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex: Vaginal dryness can cause discomfort during sex, leading to a decrease in sexual desire and satisfaction.

What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Vaginal rejuvenation can be used to describe various treatments aimed at improving the structural and functional aspects of the vagina. The primary goal is to address concerns arising from aging, childbirth, or hormonal changes, such as vaginal atrophy. The treatments enhance tissue tightness, elasticity, and lubrication, thereby improving sexual satisfaction and overall quality of life. Many of today’s rejuvenation treatments are non-surgical, offering effective results with minimal downtime.

Introducing Viveve Vaginal Rejuvenation

We are proud to introduce Viveve vaginal rejuvenation, a revolutionary treatment changing the landscape of women’s health. Viveve offers a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation solution designed to alleviate symptoms of vaginal atrophy and restore your intimate well-being. It uses innovative cryogen-cooled radiofrequency technology to deliver safe and effective treatment, improving vaginal tightness, lubrication, and overall sexual pleasure.

The Science Behind Viveve and How It Works for Vaginal Rejuvenation

At the heart of Viveve vaginal rejuvenation is the application of cutting-edge radiofrequency technology. This energy is delivered directly to the vaginal tissues, creating a gentle heat that stimulates the production of collagen. Increased collagen can drastically improve symptoms of vaginal atrophy.

The unique Viveve treatment targets both the surface and deeper layers of the vaginal tissue, ensuring a comprehensive rejuvenation process. The surface cooling technology keeps the outer layer of tissue comfortable and unharmed during treatment.

What to Expect From the Viveve Treatment Process

Beginning the Viveve vaginal rejuvenation treatment, we first ensure your comfort. The treatment involves a small, smooth device that is carefully inserted 1 or 2 inches into the vagina, emitting radiofrequency energy to the targeted tissues. 

Many patients describe the sensation as a gentle warmth, and there is typically minimal discomfort associated with the treatment thanks to the unique cooling technology. As a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation option, Viveve is a quick, one-time treatment that can have lasting effects on symptoms of vaginal atrophy, with most women able to return to their normal activities immediately.

Considering Viveve: Who Is the Right Candidate?

Viveve vaginal rejuvenation can be the right treatment for a wide range of women experiencing discomfort during sex, dryness, or a feeling of looseness. However, it is important to have the right expectations about your vaginal tightening treatment, and you should always talk to your doctor about your health history and unique circumstances. It may not be suitable for certain individuals, such as women who are pregnant or nursing.

Preparing for Your Viveve Treatment

Before your Viveve vaginal rejuvenation treatment, we recommend a consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment expectations. On the day of the treatment, no special preparation is needed — simply arrive in comfortable clothing. Rest assured, we will guide you through each step, ensuring your comfort and understanding throughout the process.
