Vaginal dryness and painful sex –
it doesn’t have to be your normal
FormaV (formerly known as Votiva) gently uses radiofrequency heat internally on the vaginal tissue and externally on the labia to encourage new collagen and blood flow. After 3-6 gentle, pain-free treatments, vaginal membranes are firmer and restored. And patients report significant improvement in vaginal dryness.
FormaV rebuilds collagen and elastin.
FormaV rebuilds collagen and elastin.
With aging and hormonal changes, collagen is lost in the vaginal area just like the thin skin around your eyes or on your neck or face. When collagen cushioning is lost, the vaginal membranes become thin and dry, leading to pain or bleeding with intercourse, a “sandy feeling” or irritated vagina and a change in the appearance of the labia.
With a FormaV treatment, your provider gently heats the external and internal vaginal tissue, instantly firming the area. Over the next few weeks, your body produces more collagen in the treatment area. After 3 sessions, most women report almost complete resolution of vaginal dryness and a return of firmer, healthier surface.
FormaV also improves mild stress incontinence and labial laxity. At RegenCen, FormaV is our go to hormone-free treatment for vaginal dryness. It’s effective during peri-menopause, after menopause, and even after breast cancer treatment.
FormaV is also used by many women as a treatment to maintain their vaginal appearance and function. A series of treatments improves vaginal moisture and reduces the appearance of prominent labia (for the most dramatic nonsurgical treatment to shrink enlarged labia, consider our Aviva treatment).
There is no pain and no downtime after FormaV (Votiva) or the first generation treatment, ThermiVa.

FormaV (Votiva, ThermiVa) Frequently Asked Questions
FormaV works for all ages. Women with no self-reported vaginal issues who do treat for self-care report improved sexual satisfaction, and women with vaginal issues praise the treatments for improved sensation, tightening, lubrication, and reduced stress incontinence.
Women who've had children find that their treatments effectively address "looseness" after vaginal delivery.

Results are gradual over 6-12 weeks. Some women notice some immediate improvement, but the best results are with multiple treatments, spaced about a month apart.

Many women report their treatments are easier, faster, and more comfortable than their annual OB-GYN visits.

While surgical vaginal rejuvenation can tighten and restore laxity in the labia, resulting in a neater vaginal appearance, surgical vaginal rejuvenation is only superficially effective. Vaginal rejuvenation surgery does not improve lax internal vaginal muscles or improve lubrication, whereas FormaV address both internal vaginal issues as well as external appearance - all without incisions, complications, downtime, or anesthesia.
Yes. One change aging or menopausal women notice is vaginal discomfort and dryness. Because aging impacts both blood flow, and tissue regeneration, the vagina is affected in a similar way to aging's effects on the face and body. Skin and tissue lose moisture and firmness due to decreased hyaluronic acid production and collagen production.
FormaV can help improve vaginal dryness by stimulating blood flow to the vaginal area. This increases the production of collagen, setting off a ripple effect where your cells naturally lubricate more easily and quickly than without treatment.
Radiofrequency vaginal rejuvenation treatments help make intercourse - and daily life - more comfortable. No more "sandy" feeling. No more discomfort from tight jeans or intercourse.
FormaV uses radiofrequency heat to tighten loose vaginal skin and increase blood flow in the vaginal area, delivered by a single-use wand. It's a similar process to the radiofrequency heat used in aesthetic treatments to decrease wrinkles and improve skin laxity.
The Oh! Shot uses your own body's PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), extracted from your blood and delivered via injections to the clitoris and vaginal membranes. PRF contains growth factors that improve blood flow, nerve sensitivity and collagen formation. The O-Shot® uses your body's own PRP (platelet-rich plasma).
Many patients choose both FormaV AND the Oh! Shot treatments because stacked together, they result in a better sex life, improved sensitivity, stronger orgasms and increased daily comfort.
