We are constantly focused on introducing new products and services that fulfill our criteria of evidence-based treatments. Centered on the needs of the patients, we are introducing new technologies once they have passed initial evaluation by means of efficacy and safety.
Women make up most of our patients and one of our key focus is to help our patients feel beautiful not only from the outside but also from the inside-out. This is why we opted to make the Viveve System, which provides an effective and painless treatment for vaginal laxity, available to our patients.
It is important to understand that the condition of vaginal laxity is much more common than reported. A published study shows that after pregnancy, women are more concerned about vaginal laxity than the weight gain during pregnancy but that this is a topic that is not discussed.
I feel that for the first time, we can offer a safe, effective, painless treatment that can address this very concern. In fact, the Viveve treatment is suitable for women who desire an improvement in sensuality, sexuality and quality of life.
Many of us who have regular sexual activity, are over 35 year of age, or who have had children probably experience a change in sensation during sexual intercourse. This may be due to vaginal laxity as similar to the face, with aging, we lose collagen in our vaginal area. Vaginal laxity may also be due to repeated stretching with regular sexual activity or even overstretching with childbirth.
We try to understand the emotional needs of the women and how our treatments could help them. In this regard, Viveve addresses a very real need of our patients who are women between the ages of 45 years to 55 years. We are in the privileged position to help with self-confidence, self-love issues that many women in this age group face. This is especially since its been shown that vaginal laxity can result in other physical and psychological consequences, including loss of sensation and sexual dissatisfaction.
The Viveve treatment is a 30 minute clinic based, non-surgical, and painless medical procedure for treating vaginal laxity as well as improving women’s sexual sensation. It offers women a low risk, high reward medical procedure that promotes personal and sexual vitality.
The Viveve System works by cooling and gently heating vaginal tissue. It uses patented radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate the body’s natural collagen rebuilding processes. Designed specifically for the treatment of vaginal introital laxity, the Viveve System incorporates safety and design features to ensure patient comfort and well-being. Furthermore, Viveve is backed up with proven clinical studies, which fits in with our approach to medicine.
The challenge is more on how to approach our patients about this condition. Vaginal laxity is a challenging condition to talk to some of our patients as this is a concern often unspoken due to embarrassment, or the feeling that the doctor will not understand. This puts our clinic in a unique situation to approach our patients in regards this topic. Our consultation process is very detailed and we look at every angle not only the aesthetic part.
To cope up with this challenge, we focus more on how Viveve promotes personal and sexual vitality which is an important part of a woman's sexual health. As our focus is to help women to feel beautiful not only from the outside but also from the inside-out. This is why we opted to make the Viveve System, which provides an effective and painless treatment for vaginal laxity, available to our patients.
