ThermiVa is a non-surgical procedure available at our London clinic that uses radiofrequency energy. It is designed to address specific concerns related to the internal vaginal tissues and the external vulval area. The treatment involves applying controlled heat to these tissues.
The results can be noticed immediately. Blood flow, leading to the formation of new collagen can be expected in the coming weeks and months. It is a 40-minute painless procedure with no downtime that is performed by Dr Nadia Yousri herself.
ThermiVa utilises a specialised handpiece to deliver temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy. This energy gently heats the targeted vaginal and vulval tissues. The application of heat aims to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production processes over time. Increased collagen can contribute to firmer, more elastic skin and tissue. The procedure also intends to affect local blood flow and nerve tissue response in the treated areas. Prior to any treatment a full gynaecological examination to tailor the treatment plan will be carried out by Dr Nadia. The Thermiva treatment is a 40-minute painless procedure with no downtime that is performed by Dr Nadia Yousri herself.
While ThermiVa can be beneficial for a wide range of concerns, it is particularly suitable for:
If you’re unsure whether ThermiVa is the proper treatment for you, Dr Nadia Yousri will provide a complete assessment during your initial consultation.
The ThermiVa device emits radiofrequency waves from its tip. When applied to the vaginal canal or external labia, this energy converts to heat within the tissue. This controlled heating initiates a response in the tissue, encouraging the formation of new collagen fibres in the weeks and months following treatment. This process results in tightening and thickening of the treated tissues.
Many patients notice a difference after the first session, with continued improvement evident in the weeks that follow. Optimal results typically appear after the third treatment. These may include increased tightness, improved moisture, and enhanced sexual sensation.
The effects of ThermiVa can last 9 to 12 months, depending on individual factors such as age, hormonal status, and lifestyle. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year may be recommended to sustain results.
ThermiVa is considered safe when performed by a qualified medical professional. At our Harley Street clinic, all procedures are personally conducted by Dr Nadia Yousri, a Consultant Gynaecologist with extensive experience in aesthetic gynaecology.
Common considerations include:
As with any medical treatment, individual responses may vary. All risks and expectations will be discussed during your consultation.
ThermiVa treatment may be considered if you experience certain physical changes or symptoms, such as:
Vaginal Laxity – Changes in the tightness of the vaginal canal, often experienced after childbirth or due to ageing.
Vulval/Labial Laxity – Looseness or altered appearance of the external labial tissues.
Vaginal Dryness Symptoms – Discomfort associated with vaginal dryness (atrophic vaginitis). ThermiVa may help improve tissue quality and natural lubrication for some individuals when hormone therapy is not suitable.
Mild to Moderate Stress Urinary Incontinence – Occasional urine leakage during activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercise.
Sexual Function Concerns – Changes in vaginal sensitivity or orgasmic response.
A consultation with Dr Nadia Yousri, including a full gynaecological examination, is required to determine if ThermiVa is an appropriate option for your specific situation.
Consultation – Your treatment journey begins with a private consultation and gynaecological assessment with Dr Nadia Yousri to discuss your concerns and confirm suitability.
Treatment Sessions – The ThermiVa procedure typically involves three separate sessions. Each session lasts approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
Frequency – Sessions are usually scheduled about one month apart.
Sensation – The procedure does not require anaesthesia. Your treatment is designed for comfort; most patients report a warming sensation during the application of radiofrequency energy, with minimal discomfort.
Downtime: There is no required downtime after a ThermiVa session. You can return to your usual daily activities, including exercise, immediately following the procedure.
ThermiVa utilises radiofrequency (RF) energy, whereas other treatments, such as laser vaginal rejuvenation (e.g., CO2 laser), employ light-based thermal energy. Both approaches aim to stimulate collagen production, tighten tissue, and enhance function.

Absolutely. Many women seek ThermiVa following vaginal deliveries to address changes such as laxity, discomfort, or mild incontinence. The treatment is designed to improve tissue tone and may restore confidence in intimate well-being.
No. ThermiVa is an entirely non-invasive treatment with no visible signs. There is no scarring, no downtime, and no need for recovery, allowing you to return to normal activities without concern.
Yes, depending on your individual needs, ThermiVa can be part of a broader treatment plan that may include hormonal therapy, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), or laser rejuvenation. Dr Nadia Yousri will advise on a personalised approach during your consultation.
While most women benefit from a course of three initial sessions spaced about four weeks apart, maintenance sessions may be recommended annually to sustain the results. Dr Nadia will customise this based on your goals and clinical findings.
There is no strict age limit. Suitability is based on your medical history, symptoms, and expectations. Women in their 30s through to post-menopausal age may benefit from the treatment.
It is best to avoid scheduling your session during menstruation, as the treatment is performed internally and externally. Please aim for dates outside your cycle for comfort and hygiene.
No referral is necessary. You can book a private consultation directly with Dr Nadia Yousri, who will conduct a comprehensive gynaecological assessment before recommending treatment.
