When It Comes to Vaginal Rejuvenation, More is Better ~Tula Wellness & Aesthetics Introduces THERMIvaPRP(+)
Now, with THERMIvaPRP(+) we can add the extra boost of platelet rich plasma to further enhance the effects of vaginal rejuvenation treatment. Use your own healing power to enhance this already amazing treatment. We are combing the “science of heat” in collagen rejuvenation with your own body’s ability to heal. We are already getting great results with ThermiVa. After the ThermiVa treatment, a vial of blood is drawn and spun down to extract the platelet rich plasma portion. PRP is injected following the application of a numbing cream. This procedure is only done by a physician, Dr. Arianna Sholes-Douglas. It can be performed alone or in conjunction with ThermiVa treatment.
Dr. Arianna Sholes Douglas, MD, FACOG specializes in Integrative Gynecology. Your THERMIVa or THERMIva-PRP(+) visits include a pelvic exam to assess any problems and to individualize your treatments. We perform ThermiVa treatments specifically to treat specific concerns. Because we are gynecologist, we are able to offer personalized, expert care. In certain instances, systemic or topical hormones may be advised and pelvic floor exercises may be instructed or we may refer those who need it for pelvic physical therapy. We have a array of products from Luna Beads to pleasure toys to assist you in achieving your feminine health goals.
What is ThermIVa?
Applying heat to tissue has become the standard for promoting collagen remodeling, which helps strengthen the structural support columns and improving the integrity of the skin.
ThermIVa is the most current FDA cleared ThermiHealth procedure, using the “Science of Heat” in a new, non-invasive, non-surgical procedure for vaginal laxity. The controlled radiofrequency energy transfers heat directly to the area to be treated. In clinical trials, the ThermIVa procedure has shown results in these one or more of areas:
Vaginal Laxity: to tighten the vagina at the introitus and the full length of the vaginal canal.
Vulvar/Labial Laxity: to tighten the labial tissues and reduce noticeable sag.
Vaginal/Vulvar Dryness or Atrophic Vaginitis: to add softer and thicker skin and relieve dryness without the use of hormones.
Mild to Moderate Stress Incontinence: to reduce accidents and leakage, and possibly reduce urge symptoms. Used with consistent Kegel exercises, ThermiVa may reduce or eliminate the need for mesh slings.
Sexual Dysfunction: to increase sensitivity and strengthen muscular contractions, leading to greater sexual satisfaction for women and their partners.
Reclaim. Restore. Revive.
Childbirth and the natural aging process cause changes which may affect feminine wellness. A particularly strenuous vaginal childbirth, multiple births, and the effects of menopause can cause physical changes which can rob women (and their partners) of their sense of well-being and happiness.

How Does it Work?
The ThermiVa technology uses real-time temperature monitoring and regulation, ensuring that the therapeutic temperature delivered to the sub-q layer is reached, but more importantly, maintained.
ThermiVa contracts tissues to a tighter bundle. It encourages collagen production and may help in tissue and nerve healing. Radiofrequency’s therapeutic effects on muscular and tissue healing are well known and has been used in physical therapy practices for decades.

Real Patient Testimonials
I was gifted the ThermiVa procedure which is a non-surgical vaginal tightening treatment for women who want to reclaim what childbirth or aging may have taken away. I was hesitant if I was even a candidate for the treatment. I had a consult with Dr. Arianna and I explained to her I felt I didn’t need this procedure. Although, I had noticed during intercourse I was not as lubricated as when I was younger or it also didn’t feel as tight. She said due to my age 42 years old, that we lose vaginal laxity and that the pelvic floor muscles need exercising just like any other muscle and as you age you lose lubrication. So I went for it. There was no pain during the treatment, it just felt warm when she would wave the wand around internally and externally. Then, after 3 weeks I noticed it was a game changer during intercourse with my partner, I felt 18 again! Not only did I notice, but my partner did too! BTW, he had no idea I had done the ThermiVa treatment. My orgasms, lubrication, vaginal tightness, sensation and not to mention my outer labia. Highly recommend ThermiVa with Dr. Arianna.
