diVa Vaginal Rejuvenation
A private, in-office laser-based approach designed to support vaginal tissue quality and comfort in selected patients— with a guided consultation to confirm the best plan for your symptoms and goals.
Important: The FDA has warned about marketing energy-based devices for “vaginal rejuvenation” claims and notes potential risks. We prioritize medical evaluation and evidence-based counseling. See Sources below.
Is diVa Right for You?
Start with a simple question: are any of these affecting your daily life?
- Vaginal dryness, irritation, or itching
- Painful intercourse
- Feeling less lubrication than before
- Concern about tissue “changes” after childbirth or menopause
- Urgency or frequent trips to the restroom
- Leakage with coughing/laughing/exercise
- Avoiding activities due to bladder concerns
- Considering more invasive options and want a consult first
How diVa Works
diVa is described by its manufacturer as a “hybrid fractional” gynecologic tool that delivers controlled energy to vaginal tissue, with the goal of supporting tissue quality over time. (Sciton press release on FDA tool clearance)
What we focus on
- Comfort, privacy, and medical evaluation first
- Personalized plan based on symptoms + exam
- Clear counseling on expected outcomes and limits
What we won’t promise
- Guaranteed outcomes for incontinence or sexual function
- “One-and-done” results for everyone
- Replacement for proven medical therapies when indicated
Why the careful language? The FDA has issued warnings about marketing energy-based devices for “vaginal rejuvenation” claims and highlighted possible serious adverse events. ACOG also states FDA has not approved lasers/energy devices for vaginal cosmetic surgery. We align our counseling with these safety statements.
Best Candidates
Candidates are determined during a private consult. Many women trace vaginal health changes to childbirth-related tissue changes and/or menopausal hormonal shifts. (ACOG discusses GSM/vaginal laser questions; AUA/SUFU/AUGS guideline describes GSM physiology.)
Often considered for
- Dryness, irritation, or discomfort
- Concern about tissue quality after childbirth/aging
- Symptoms consistent with GSM after evaluation
May not be ideal if
- Active infection or unexplained bleeding (needs evaluation first)
- Pregnant (typical precaution)
- Underlying pelvic floor conditions needing a different care plan
What to Expect
During treatment
- Private room, comfort-forward setup
- Short in-office session time (varies by protocol)
- Most patients describe pressure/heat sensations as tolerable
Aftercare
- Follow your provider’s instructions
- Common guidance includes avoiding intercourse/tampons briefly (protocol-dependent)
- Call promptly if you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding, fever, or concerning symptoms
DivaTyte (External Treatment)
DivaTyte is marketed as a companion external treatment intended to address appearance/tone of external tissue using a skin-tightening style approach. Your provider will explain suitability and realistic expectations based on your anatomy and goals.
We keep all claims conservative and consult-driven—especially in women’s intimate health, where FDA and ACOG emphasize careful evaluation and evidence.
