InMode Votiva is an FDA-approved laser treatment used to help treat vaginal relaxation.
Votiva uses radiofrequency heating to help improve elastin and collagen within the vaginal tissues. It uses two complementary technologies in order to achieve the results you want: FormaV and FractoraV.
FormaV is a heating technology that applies radiofrequency healing to both the internal and external vaginal tissues. This helps to treat vulvar laxity, which is looseness within the vagina (most often due to childbirth), and labial sagging, which is loose skin on the external vagina.
FractoraV utilizes customized fractional radiofrequency energy to help improve your skin tone and texture through resurfacing. With this technology, your doctor can accurately target the region that you want extra attention on with deep heating. This heating goes deep into the skin layers and improves elastin and stimulates collagen production, allowing for the regrowth of thicker and more youthful external skin.
So, using these complementary technologies, InMode Votiva can help both internal and external vaginal appearance and tightness.
Who Is Votiva For?
Votiva works to improve both the appearance and functionality of the muscles and tissues of the vagina and benefits individuals with the following conditions:
Urinary Incontinence
Your pelvic floor muscles play an instrumental role in your ability to hold your urine and control your bladder and bowel. When your pelvic floor muscles are weak, these internal organs and systems are not fully supported, which can equate to a more challenging time controlling the release of your urine.Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine and can be broken into three categories:
Stress incontinence: pressure is exerted on the bladder, causing a leakage. This pressure could be from laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
Urge incontinence: this occurs when you frequently have a sudden and intense urge to urinate.
Mixed incontinence: this type of incontinence is a combination of both stress and urge incontinence.InMode Votiva helps improve bladder control by strengthening your pelvic floor muscles and helping you regain control of this aspect of your life.
Overactive Bladder Syndrome
Those with overactive bladder syndrome often have a frequent and sudden urge to urinate, similar to those with urge incontinence. Those with this condition may find themselves having to urinate multiple times throughout the night. This condition may also cause people to avoid public outings for extended periods of time, especially if they are not sure about the presence of a bathroom.Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor is severely weakened. In this case, the pelvic floor muscles are unable to support the pelvic organs, and these organs then push down or descend into the vagina. Pelvic organs include the uterus, bladder, and rectum.Loose Tissue
As we age, the tissues of our vagina can lose their volume and begin to sag. Votiva works to stimulate collagen production, helping to increase the volume of the vaginal tissue. It also improves elastin, which is essential for ensuring that the body’s tissues, including the vaginal tissues, can act against gravity and are not as loose. Improving elastin also helps to tighten up the muscles of the vagina.Weak or No Orgasms
When you orgasm, the muscles of the vagina contract. When these muscles are weak, that results in a weaker orgasm. If you struggle to orgasm, or the orgasms that you do have are not as enjoyable as they used to be, strengthening the muscles and tissues of the vagina may help you achieve a stronger and more satisfying orgasm.
What Causes Vaginal Relaxation?
Many conditions can cause vaginal relaxation and the pelvic floor muscles to weaken, including:
Aging
It’s a general fact of life that as we get older, our muscles grow weaker, and the pelvic floor muscles are not exempt from that fact. In addition, as our age increases the amount of elastin and collagen in our skin begins to decrease, leading to vaginal relaxation and loose skin.Vaginal Delivery
Giving birth takes quite a toll on our bodies, and its impact on the pelvic floor muscles and vaginal muscles can be significant, especially for people who have given birth to multiple children.When giving birth vaginally, the tissues of the vagina are stretched much further than they are used to. This can lead to vaginal relaxation because the tissues are not able to go back to being as tight as they were before. The more childbirths someone goes through, the harder it becomes for the vagina to return to its original tightness.
