You expect wrinkles and sagging skin as you age—but did you expect to worry about vaginal looseness, dryness, or discomfort during intimacy? Pregnancy, childbirth, and natural aging create real changes in your vaginal tissues that affect how you feel both physically and emotionally.
If you’re experiencing decreased sensation, urinary leakage, or reduced confidence in your intimate life, you’re dealing with a common concern that modern medicine can address.
At Northwest Women’s Center in Houston, we offer Votiva, an FDA-approved non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment designed to restore comfort, tightness, and sensation. Our experienced gynecologists use advanced radiofrequency technology to address both internal and external changes, helping you reclaim your confidence and quality of life.
What Is Votiva?
Votiva is an FDA-approved device that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production in vaginal tissues. The system combines two complementary technologies—FormaV and FractoraV—making it the only vaginal rejuvenation platform that treats both internal and external tissues in a single treatment session.
FormaV delivers gentle heat deep into the vaginal canal and external tissues to address looseness and sagging. FractoraV uses fractional resurfacing to improve the appearance and texture of the outer vaginal tissues, creating subtle punctures that trigger your body’s natural healing response and collagen production.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Votiva?
Votiva works well for women experiencing symptoms related to aging, menopause, or childbirth. Good candidates may be dealing with:
- Vaginal dryness or reduced natural lubrication
- Loss of vaginal tightness or laxity
- Decreased sexual sensation or pleasure
- Pain or discomfort during intercourse
- Mild to moderate urinary incontinence from coughing or laughing
- Wrinkled or sagging external vaginal tissues
- Excess or enlarged labial tissue
Votiva is most popular among women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond, though women of any age experiencing these concerns may benefit. These treatments have no impact on your reproductive capability if you’re planning future pregnancies.
Benefits of Votiva Vaginal Rejuvenation
Our Northwest Women’s Center patients report significant improvements, including increased vaginal tightness, enhanced sensitivity, improved lubrication, and reduced pain during intercourse. Many also notice an improvement in mild urinary incontinence. The treatment improves blood flow to tissues, strengthens vaginal muscles, and reduces the wrinkled appearance of external tissues.
How the Treatment Works
- FormaV Treatment: Your provider inserts a gentle handheld device into the vagina, delivering warm radiofrequency energy that gradually heats internal and external tissues. This process takes about 30 minutes and feels like a warm sensation—no pain involved.
- FractoraV Treatment: A topical numbing cream is applied to external tissues. The handheld device creates tiny controlled punctures while delivering radiofrequency energy, stimulating collagen remodeling and tightening. Your body responds to these micro-injuries by producing new collagen, improving skin tone and firmness over the following weeks.
What to Expect: Preparation, Recovery, and Results
Preparation is minimal. Simply avoid intercourse for 24 hours before your appointment and skip non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications for three days prior. Schedule treatments when you’re not menstruating.
After FractoraV treatment, you may experience slight swelling, which typically resolves within a day or two. Avoid intercourse, hot tubs, pools, and hot baths for three days following treatment. Over-the-counter pain medication manages any discomfort.
Most patients notice immediate improvement in sensation and tightness as existing collagen remodels. Full results develop over the following weeks and months as your body produces new collagen and elastin. You’ll see continued improvement for up to one year after your initial series.
Treatment Schedule and Maintenance
We recommend a series of three Votiva treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. After your initial rejuvenation series, most patients return for one maintenance treatment per year to preserve their results. Since your body naturally produces 1% less collagen each year after age 20, annual treatments help maintain your improvements over time.
