Improving Vaginal Function with diVa
The diVa® laser treatment is a 3-to-5 minute in-office procedure that uses both ablative and non-ablative lasers to resurface the vaginal walls and trigger new tissue both on the surface and in deeper tissues. diVa® uses Sciton’s Hybrid laser to treat the full length of the vaginal canal to tone and tighten for healthier vaginal function.
What Causes a Decline in Vaginal Health and Function?
· Childbirth stretches the vaginal canal and surrounding tissue, and the tissue may not return to its former state. Vaginal childbirth can damage vaginal walls, the perineum and surrounding tissues. This damage causes diminished vaginal health and function. Menopause causes reduced estrogen production by the ovaries. This hormonal drop can lead to thinning, drying and inflamed vaginal walls, which decreases vaginal function.
· Chemotherapy After having chemotherapy for cancer some women have painful thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls.
Which Vaginal Health Conditions Are Helped by diVa?
· Stress urinary incontinence (SUI)
· Vaginal lubrication
· Dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
· Vaginal laxity
How Can diVa® Improve All of These Problems with One Type of Treatment
diVa® is a dual-laser treatment. The first laser resurfaces the vaginal walls by stimulating new, healthy tissue growth. The second laser heats the deeper layers of the tissue where collagen is produced. These two actions increase the thickness of the vaginal mucosa and the amount of collagen and elastin in the tissues that provide structural support and functional integrity of the vagina. All of these processes work together to improve tone and moisture in the vagina and assist with controlling urination.
