Viveve In Korea

Radiofrequency Vaginal Rejuvenation

Procedure Process Explanation

Viveve – Radiofrequency-Based Vaginal Rejuvenation

Viveve is a highly-effective treatment that uses radiofrequency thermal energy to promote collagen production inside the vagina, resulting in vaginal tightening and rejuvenation.

The principle of the Viveve procedure is the contraction and regeneration of collagen, which firms up the loose vaginal mucosa and restores elasticity.

Traditional vaginal tightening surgeries, commonly called ‘vaginoplasty’, involve pulling and stitching the vaginal mucosa and muscles. Viveve, however, differs in that it restores the vaginal elasticity by contracting and regenerating the collagen located beneath the vaginal mucosa.

You can experience noticeable effects with just one Viveve treatment, and after about 6 months, the vagina is typically restored to its pre-childbirth state. The tightening effect lasts well, with approximately 80% of the firmness maintained even one year after treatment.

Viveve’s simple treatment process

While protecting the surface of the vaginal tissue with a cooling system, high-temperature radiofrequency energy is delivered to the submucosal layer of the vaginal wall.

Through a cycle of cooling and heating, the procedure provides a stronger and more firm tightening effect. The advanced cooling technology ensures a safe treatment without the risk of burns.

After the procedure, collagen synthesis is stimulated, resulting in a tighter and thicker vaginal wall. This helps improve symptoms of vaginal laxity, such as decreased sexual satisfaction, poor blood circulation, and urinary incontinence.

1. Energy Application

Application of high-temperature radiofrequency energy to the submucosal tissue.

2. Collagen Production

Cell activation and collagen production begin within the skin tissue around 30 days after the procedure.

3. Vaginal Tightening

Collagen is restored, having a vaginal tightening effect and a total rejuvenation effect.

Who Needs Viveve?

Viveve offers the following people a treatment that returns them to their original firmness:

  • For those who want to increase lost elasticity
  • Those whose vagina has become loose and widened due to childbirth and aging
  • Those who want to supplement stimulation and sensation during sexual intercourse
  • People who frequently experience bad odor or inflammation in the vaginal area
  • People who experience inconvenience in their daily lives due to urinary incontinence

    Side effects such as bleeding or pain may occur after the procedure.

Treat urinary incontinence, vaginal laxity, and vaginal dryness all at once with Viveve.

Differences between Vivib, Jilsera and Pretty Surgery

Since both Viveve and Zealthera are non-incision treatments using ultrasound, the procedure is very simple, causes little pain, and has a short recovery period. The effects are noticeable after just one treatment, and it can be safely performed leaving no harmful side effects such as skin damage or burns. As such, it can be performed on anyone in their 20s and older.

Viveve Can Also Treat urinary incontinence

The reason why the VIVIVE treatment is expensive is because the disposable tip, which has outstanding cooling technology, is costly itself. Additionally, the procedure takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, so the labor cost and expertise involved, along with the effect of restoring the body to its pre-pregnancy state and its long-lasting results, all contribute to the price.

In particular, VIVIVE is the most effective treatment for urinary incontinence in middle-aged women. The radiofrequency heat energy stimulates the vaginal tissues, promoting collagen regeneration and vaginal tightening, which naturally improves urinary incontinence as well.

Moreover, there have also been reported results showing improvements in recurrent vaginal inflammation and sexual sensitivity.

Difference between Viveve and Zealthera

Both procedures have the same non-invasive purpose of vaginal tightening, have a short recovery period, and a quick return to daily life. The differences are as follows:

▪️ Zealthera: Uses ultrasonic energy to deliver heat deep into the muscle layers inside the vagina, promoting elasticity, and lasting an average of 6 months.

▪️ Viveve: By stimulating both the outer and inner parts of the skin with thermal energy, the production of collagen is promoted, improving elasticity, with a maintenance period of about 1 year on average.

 

Viveve

Zealthera

Method

Applies high temperature thermal radiofrequency to the vaginal mucosa

HIFU ultrasound is applied from the vaginal mucosa to the muscle layer.

Key Point

Heat is concentrated on the vaginal mucosa to promote collagen synthesis

Works deep into the vaginal muscles to promote collagen synthesis

Benefits

Cooling system that protects the surface by keeping it cold, minimizing pain and risk of burns to the vaginal mucosa

Various depth treatments are possible, with 3 types of cartridges used according to individual elasticity

Treatment Time

1 hour 30 minutes for 350 shots
(longer treatment time because of the smaller applicator)

15 to 20 minutes for 400 shots
(short treatment time due to applicator’s wider surface area)

Results Period

About 1 to 2 years

About 6 months to 1 year

The most effective treatment for vaginal tightening and urinary incontinence is Viveve. Although it varies from person to person, the rate of vaginal tightening is approximately 67% after one month of the procedure, and approximately 87% after six months, so it is naturally very helpful in treating urinary incontinence.

The price of the disposable Viveve tip itself is expensive due to the cooling technology, and considering the labor cost, know-how, and duration of effect, which takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, it is expensive.
