Benefits of FormaV for Vaginal Rejuvenation
FormaV is more than just a cosmetic procedure—it provides tangible improvements in vaginal health and function. Benefits include:
1. Improved Vaginal Tightness
The RF energy stimulates collagen regeneration, which leads to the tightening of the vaginal canal. This is particularly helpful for women who have experienced vaginal loosening after childbirth or due to aging.
2. Relief from Vaginal Dryness and Irritation
FormaV improves blood flow and tissue health, which helps alleviate postmenopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness, itching, and burning.
3. Enhanced Sexual Function
With increased sensitivity and improved lubrication, women often report heightened sexual satisfaction following the treatment.
4. Reduced Stress Urinary Incontinence
Mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence—leakage of urine during activities like sneezing or exercising—can be significantly improved as the vaginal tissues strengthen and become more supportive.
5. Improved Aesthetic Appearance
FormaV also addresses the external appearance of the labia, making it a comprehensive treatment for women seeking both functional and cosmetic improvements.

Safety and Technology Behind FormaV
The technology behind FormaV is FDA-cleared and extensively tested for safety and efficacy. The device uses RF energy, a proven method for tissue tightening and rejuvenation used in various aesthetic and medical applications. Dr. Dima ensures that every patient receives safe, sterile, and comfortable care tailored to their needs.
HOW DOES FORMAV WORK?
FormaV uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and localized heat for tissue remodeling, resulting in the tightening of the tissues over time. Its uniform heat is designed to tighten the muscles of the pelvic wall, while the fractional radiofrequency energy penetrates through the skin to help you see results faster.
ARE FORMAV TREATMENTS RIGHT FOR ME?
Vaginal rejuvenation is designed for healthy women with realistic expectations. Because the treatment is nonsurgical, it is suitable for a wide range of patients. FormaV may be an ideal treatment if you are looking to treat vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, urinary incontinence, vaginal laxity, lack of sexual pleasure, and decreased vaginal lubrication, or looking to improve the external labia minora and majora's overall aesthetic without the need for surgery. A series of 3 FormaV treatments are recommended once every month for 3 months, followed by a follow up visit with Dr. Dima. We will likely recommend a single maintenance treatment once every 9 - 12 months to maintain your desired results.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER THE TREATMENT?
Prior to FormaV treatment, we ask that the treatment area is shaved at least 24 hours prior. There’s no downtime associated with this procedure, so you can go back to your regular daily activities immediately following your appointment. Dr. Dima will initially assess your condition using standardized photos, a Kegel perineometer, and validated questionnaires for realistic expectations.
During each treatment, a small amount of gel will be applied to the wand to ensure your comfort. Once the FormaV wand is inserted into the vaginal canal, you will likely feel the slow, rotating movement of the wand to ensure even distribution of the radiofrequency energy and heat on the vaginal wall. The WellMedica team will treat the entire length of the vaginal canal within approximately 45- 60 minutes to ensure the best results.
Following your FormaV treatment, there is typically no downtime. Some patients may experience slight sensitivity or discomfort following treatment, but these symptoms quickly subside. Sexual intercourse should be avoided for the first 48 hours after treatment.
WHAT IS THE COST OF FORMAV TREATMENT?
FormaV packages start at $3,800. There are a variety of factors that determine overall price. To ensure that your FormaV treatment is affordable, we accept a variety of payments methods including special financing plans like CareCredit. Do not forget to ask our WellMedica team about the CareCredit finance promotions that we offer.
IS FORMAV SAFE?
FormaV is approved by the FDA for the treatment of sexual dysfunction and the tightening the pelvic floor to increase muscle tone.
