What is AVIVA?
Aviva is a minimally invasive, non-surgical alternative to a labiaplasty (a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the labia).
How does it work?
Done under local anesthesia in the office, the Aviva procedure can tighten loose skin by 30%, improve vaginal aesthetics, enhance satisfaction during intercourse, minimize discomfort with physical activity, and improve a patient’s confidence.
Is Aviva safe?
Aviva is a safe, effective, and non-excisional alternative that provides reduced downtime and minimal, if any, visible scarring compared to surgical procedures.
Why does the labia become enlarged?
Enlarged labia can occur naturally in some women, while others experience labial distension following childbirth, as they age, or with weight changes.
Who is a good candidate for Aviva?
Any woman who would like to improve the overall appearance and function of the labia. This is a great option for those that experience discomfort or pain during physical activities or intimate contact.
