Viveve®

Over the course of a woman’s life, she may develop vaginal looseness for a number of reasons. Most commonly, childbirth, menopause, weight fluctuations or a shift in hormones can lead to loosening of the vaginal muscles and related concerns, such as stress incontinence, a loss of sexual pleasure and a decrease in sensation. Viveve® is a nonsurgical feminine rejuvenation treatment for vaginal laxity that can be completed in just 30 minutes without any scars or downtime.*

As a top female board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jennifer Harrington understands a woman’s most private concerns. During your initial consultation, she’ll listen to your reasons for considering feminine rejuvenation and explain how Viveve works in greater detail.

Harrington Plastic Surgery has helped women from all over the Twin Cities area through nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation. Women have visited from St. Cloud, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Sartell and other nearby communities, as well was out of state, to receive treatment.

Many women who feel that they’ve lost some vaginal tightness can be excellent candidates for Viveve treatments. Some of the most common reasons to consider Viveve include:

• Tampons feel like they might slip out
• Decreased sensation during intercourse
• A loss of sexual pleasure
• Urinary stress incontinence
• Decreased elasticity in vaginal tissue

Women with pacemakers or defibrillators are not candidates for Viveve treatments.

Before your consultation, please fill out our Viveve® Patient Intake Form and bring it with you to your appointment.

Viveve is a revolutionary vaginal tightening treatment available in Canada, Europe and, most recently, the United States. This one-time treatment uses cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) to heat deep tissue while cooling the surface.* This process can rejuvenate vaginal tissue and muscles.*

Your vaginal rejuvenation consultation and treatment will be performed Dr. Harrington along with her certified plastic surgery nurse or physician assistant. Viveve does not require local or general anesthesia, as the procedure itself should not be uncomfortable. You may feel a slight warming sensation during treatment. The Viveve device delivers controlled volumetric heating to safely stimulate vaginal tissue.* Your procedure should only last about 30 minutes, after which you may return to your normal routine.*

Depending on your anatomy and goals, Dr. Harrington may suggest additional or alternative treatments. Women struggling with oversized or uneven labia may be good candidates for labiaplasty. Those with noticeable fat pads over the pubic bone after weight changes or pregnancy may wish to include liposuction of the mons pubis. Many women choose to include vaginal tightening as part of their mommy makeover.

Viveve is a nonsurgical treatment and thus requires no downtime.* You may return to your normal routine immediately following your appointment, including exercise and sexual intimacy.* The procedure should not result in any changes in odor or discharge.*

Although individual experiences vary, most women begin to notice results around 30 days after your Viveve treatment.* Your results may continue to develop over about 3 months.* While many women only require a single Viveve treatment,* Dr. Harrington may recommend a second treatment for others. Dr. Harrington will assess your results after 90 days and help you determine whether another treatment is best.

In addition to rejuvenation of the vaginal muscles and tissue, you may notice improvements in lubrication, arousal, stress incontinence and sexual satisfaction.*

Although complications associated with Viveve are rare, it’s still important to discuss any potential risks with Dr. Harrington prior to your treatment. If you notice any sharp pain or sudden swelling, notify our office immediately.
