Cheryl Karcher, MD Offers New ThermiVa Treatment
Pain-free ThermiVa can improve bladder control

After years of research and testing, physicians now have a new FDA-cleared non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment called ThermiVa. Cheryl Karcher, MD is pleased to announce she is offering this revolutionary 30-minute treatment to patients in NYC.
As many women know, child birth and aging can diminish sensation during sexual activity, reduce natural lubrication and satisfaction and can also lead to bladder control issues and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). But now there is help for all of these issues with ThermiVa.
Dr. Karcher explains that the ThermiVa temperature controlled radiofrequency (RF) system was invented, designed and developed to perform non-invasive RF skin and vaginal tightening. She has documented particularly strong results in postpartum & perimenopausal women.

ThermiVA is a non-surgical procedure which uses a handheld wand to deliver controlled radiofrequency thermal energy to the external and/or internal region of the vagina. When the tissues are gently heated to a therapeutic level, they will contract into tighter bundles, and this incisionless vaginal tightening procedure will rejuvenate collagen, cell health, increase production of natural lubricants, and tighten the vagina without anesthesia, discomfort or downtime. Although many women experience noticeable improvement with only one treatment, patients may take up to 3 sessions to realize best results. ThermiVa can also create a more youthful vaginal appearance.
To schedule an appointment or find out if you are an appropriate candidate for ThermiVa, please contact Dr. Karcher’s office at 212.772.7242 and follow Cheryl Karcher on Twitter

ABOUT the PROCEDURE:
Once you are settled and comfortable; the wand is placed on each treatment-zone for 5 to 7 minutes. The shape and gentle curves of the small disposable wand make the procedure painless. A built-in thermistor tip controls the levels of heat and patients describe the treatment as comfortable. The entire procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and is performed in-office. Patients are able to resume all normal pursuits, including sexual activity, immediately after each treatment. ThermiVa treatments use radio frequency energy to gently warm tissue so that women can reclaim, restore and revive feminine wellness without discomfort or downtime.
