If you’re feeling frustrated with changes “down there” after childbirth, you’re not alone. At Craig Ranch OB/GYN in McKinney, TX, we understand that postpartum changes to intimate areas can affect your comfort and confidence. Our compassionate team specializes in the full spectrum of women’s health care, including the fourth trimester and beyond.
We know that the appearance and sensation of your intimate areas may shift after giving birth, and we offer non-surgical, non-invasive Viveve® vaginal rejuvenation to help restore what you may feel you’ve lost.
What is Viveve?
Viveve is an advanced vaginal rejuvenation treatment. Instead of addressing problems from a surgical angle, Viveve involves non-invasive, gentle radiofrequency energy delivery to the delicate vaginal tissues. The radiofrequency energy promotes collagen and elastin production, which can help rejuvenate vaginal tissues.
This non-surgical approach is an excellent option for women seeking improvement without downtime. Many new moms find that Viveve addresses several common postpartum concerns at once.
How Viveve Can Help Moms
Viveve® offers a range of benefits to help you feel more like yourself after childbirth. It can help with problems including:
- Vaginal Laxity: Improves elasticity and tightness
- Difficulty Climaxing: Improves sensation and ability to climax
- Discomfort During Sex: Improves lubrication to make sex more pleasurable and comfortable
- Exterior Laxity: The exterior tissues tighten and firm alongside the tissue within the vaginal canal, providing an aesthetic improvement as well.
Many new moms struggle with another chronic issue: Urinary leakage. Sneezing, lifting something heavy, or exercising may cause embarrassing leaks because your pelvic floor weakens after childbirth. Viveve can also help curb this problem so you can feel more confident. One study showed a 90% improvement in stress urinary incontinence symptoms after Viveve.
Our team generally recommends waiting about six weeks after giving birth to schedule treatment.
The Viveve Treatment Process
Viveve is an incision- and surgery-free treatment that we offer here in our McKinney office. The process is completely non-invasive and comfortable.
The thin (about the width of a thumb) applicator tip goes about an inch or so within the vaginal opening. It delivers cryogen-cooled radiofrequency energy, meaning it combines heat and cold to stimulate the maximum collagen and elastin growth.
The process takes about 45 minutes, and you can resume your regular activities promptly.
