If you’ve been experiencing discomfort or self-consciousness about changes to your intimate area, you’re not alone. Many women find that childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, or weight fluctuations can lead to physical and emotional challenges that affect their daily comfort and confidence.
Aviva offers a groundbreaking solution that many women don’t realize exists.
Often called a “scarless labiaplasty,” Aviva is a minimally invasive procedure that uses gentle radiofrequency energy to reshape and tighten the labia without surgery. Instead of a scalpel, Aviva uses controlled heat to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, creating firmer, more comfortable tissue without large incisions, stitches, or visible scars.
The procedure takes place right in our comfortable Orlando office in about 30-60 minutes, with most women returning to their normal activities within just a day or two.
The results? Enhanced comfort during exercise and intimacy, improved appearance, and—perhaps most importantly—renewed confidence and self-assurance.
Now, let’s address the questions we hear most often about this life-changing treatment.
What exactly happens during an Aviva procedure?
During your Aviva treatment, you’ll be made comfortable with a local anesthetic to ensure you don’t feel pain.
Our specialist then uses the Aviva handpiece, which delivers radiofrequency energy through a tiny entry point (about the size of a pinhole) to gently heat the tissue beneath your skin. This controlled heating causes immediate tissue contraction and triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen formation over the following weeks and months.
Unlike traditional surgery, there’s no cutting away of tissue, no large incisions, and no stitches.
Most women describe feeling only a warm sensation during the procedure, which typically takes between 30-60 minutes to complete.
Is Aviva painful? What does recovery feel like?
Most women are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable both the procedure and recovery are. During the treatment, you’ll receive a local anesthetic that keeps you comfortable. After the procedure, you might experience mild swelling or tenderness for a few days, but this is typically minimal and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.
Recovery is remarkably quick compared to surgical alternatives. Most women return to their daily activities within 24-48 hours and can resume exercise (except for very strenuous workouts) within a week. We recommend waiting about two weeks before resuming sexual activity to allow for optimal healing.
How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?
You’ll likely notice some improvement once any initial swelling subsides, with continued enhancement over the next 2-3 months as new collagen forms and tissue remodeling occurs.
This gradual improvement means your results look completely natural – there’s no obvious “before and after” that others would notice, just a more comfortable, confident you.
As for longevity, Aviva results are typically long-lasting. The collagen stimulation provides benefits that can last for years. While the natural aging process continues, many women enjoy the improvements from a single Aviva treatment without needing a repeat procedure.
If significant changes occur down the road (due to aging or hormonal shifts), some women opt for a maintenance treatment, but this is often years after the initial procedure.
Is Aviva safe? Are there any risks I should know about?
Aviva uses FDA-cleared radiofrequency technology that has been used safely in medicine for years. The device includes precise controls to maintain the proper temperature and depth, protecting surrounding tissues. Because it’s minimally invasive, Aviva carries significantly fewer risks than surgical alternatives.
As with any medical procedure, there are some minimal risks, which might include temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort.
Serious complications are extremely rare.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate and review any specific considerations for your situation.
Who is a good candidate for Aviva?
Aviva is ideal for women who:
- Experience physical discomfort from enlarged or elongated labia during activities, exercise, or intimacy
- Feel self-conscious about the appearance of their labia
- Desire improvement without the downtime and risks of surgery
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about outcomes
The best way to determine if Aviva is right for you is through a private consultation with our specialist. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your concerns, examine the area, and recommend the most appropriate treatment options for your specific situation.
How does Aviva compare to traditional labiaplasty surgery?
The key differences between Aviva and traditional surgical labiaplasty include:
Aviva:
- No scalpels or stitches
- Minimal downtime (24-48 hours)
- No visible scarring
- Local anesthetic only
- Natural-looking results
- Preserved sensation
- Quick, in-office procedure
Traditional Labiaplasty:
- Surgical cutting and removal of tissue
- Longer recovery (1-2 weeks minimum)
- Potential visible scarring
- May require stronger anesthesia
- Possible altered sensation
- Often performed in a surgical center
For many women, Aviva offers comparable results with significantly less disruption to their lives and fewer potential complications.
Will my partner notice the difference after Aviva?
Most women report that their partners notice their increased comfort and confidence during intimacy, rather than specific physical changes. The results look and feel natural – like a more comfortable, toned version of yourself. Since there’s no scarring, the procedure is essentially undetectable once healing is complete.
Many patients share that Aviva has positively impacted their intimate relationships by allowing them to be fully present and comfortable during sexual activity, without the physical discomfort or self-consciousness they experienced before.
How much does Aviva cost? Is it covered by insurance?
Because Aviva is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, it’s typically not covered by health insurance. The cost varies depending on individual needs and whether you’re combining Aviva with other treatments.
During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed quote and discuss payment options that work for your budget.
Can Aviva be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! Many women choose to combine Aviva with other treatments for comprehensive intimate wellness. Complementary procedures might include:
- Morpheus8V: For internal vaginal rejuvenation addressing dryness and laxity
- Hormone optimization: To address systemic issues like vaginal dryness or decreased libido
- Emsella: To strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve bladder control
During your consultation, we can discuss whether a combined approach might offer the best results for your specific concerns.
What should I do to prepare for my Aviva treatment?
Preparation for Aviva is minimal. We recommend:
- Avoiding blood-thinning medications for a few days before treatment (with your primary doctor’s approval)
- Shaving the treatment area the day before your appointment
- Wearing comfortable, loose clothing on the day of your procedure
- Arranging for someone to drive you home, though many women feel comfortable driving themselves
- Having mild pain relievers on hand for potential discomfort during recovery
We’ll provide you with detailed pre-procedure instructions during your consultation to ensure you’re fully prepared.
