"Ever since I was a young girl I always thought I looked a bit different. My inner labia were long and dark and uncomfortable. They would pull and tug and pinch with every move I made. It was extremely uncomfortable on the daily. This made buying underwear a mission and I had completely eliminated leggings and any tight, thin clothing from my wardrobe because my labia were noticeable. I became extremely self-conscious of them at a very young age.
When I started dating my high school boyfriend, who took my virginity. I had to convince him I was a virgin because he thought that my vagina looked “used.” As we grew older and started to have more sex he would always poke fun at my labia. He would pull on them and stretch them out and then call them “bat wings” or “beefy wings” or “flappy roast beef” He would say that he was “hungry for a roast beef sandwich.” Which made me want to hurl rather than set the mood. I’m sure he intentionally being hurtful but my already low self-confidence was then buried to non-existent.
Not only was I horrified with how I looked and was convinced every man would do the same to me and my labia, but sex was very uncomfortable, even painful for me. My labia would roll inward. It would fold over and block penetration. I had to physically move it out of the way with my fingers. So I started researching enlarged labias and what I could do about it. I saw the prices for labiaplasty surgery and tried to forget about it because I had no source of income, my mom had passed away a few years earlier and I was too embarrassed/ashamed to ask my dad.
After my high school boyfriend and I split up I dated a couple guys but didn’t let any of them touch me ex- cept for one. He further destroyed my measly self-confidence because he pulled his hand out of my panties like it was on fire and actually shook his hand off. I was mortified.
So again. I researched labiaplasty and surgeons in Southern California. That’s when I found Dr. Alinsod. At that time my dad had recently passed away and I was forced to drop out of college to work full time at minimum wage. So I started a fund for the day I could afford surgery having made my mind up that Dr. Alinsod would be my surgeon.
Fast forward a few years. I am happily married and had extra money saved up for surgery. I had been check- ing Dr. Alinsod’s website regularly. I would read and re-read all of his information, his patient testimonials, his case studies. Reviewed his before and after galleries. Everything. I did that for 2 years and then decided to finally send an email and get an estimate for surgery. His receptionist Diane, emailed me immediately and we chatted for a few minutes and then she emailed me an estimate. I had a ways to go before I had enough money to afford his expertise. And honestly, I had found a couple surgeons that were in my price range at that time, but I refused to go to anyone but Dr. Alinsod. I told Diane I’d get back to her.
About 6 months later, I got lucky with a settlement and had enough money for surgery! I contacted Diane right away and she set me a consultation for the very next week!!! AND she remembered me!! I was so extremely nervous on the day of my consultation. I was sweating and shaking. My anxiety was through the roof. I was there to show the one thing I didn’t show anyone. The one thing that I kept hidden my entire life was about to have people staring at it. Close up. With lights. I wanted to crawl away and hide. Luckily, he had incredible bedside manner and his staff were just amazing. They calmed my anxiety a bit even tho I was still shaking like a leaf.
The ladies in his office. Diane, Maria, and Marisol are the most comforting women I’ve ever met. They individually welcomed me into their office with warm smiles and a gentle touch on the shoulder. It’s the subtle, motherly gestures that sets them apart from other surgical staff I’ve met. They care about their patients. They each made me feel important, not like I was just one of the “assembly line of patients” that other offices portray.
Dr. Alinsod was a pleasure to meet! He greeted me with a giant smile and a firm handshake. I immediately started to relax in his presence. He was so easy to talk to. He asked about me, where I was from, what I did for work before we even started talking about what I wanted as far as surgery goes. You can absolutely tell that he cares about his patients and is very passionate about his work. It’s obvious that he enjoys what he does. He takes pride in his work. I already knew I wanted Dr. Alinsod to preform my surgery because of everything I had read on his website, his patient testimonials on other review websites, and his impressive before and after galleries. In all the research I’d done I had never seen the same effort put forth into before and after photos. Dr. Alinsod literally takes a shot of every angle, with a caption on every photo. He also uses a black background. To me, that shows a dedicated surgeon who is proud of his work. And those are the exact qualities he portrayed in person. Then his personal demeanor and that of his staff drove it home. I scheduled surgery at the end of my consultation. I don’t remember anything from my actual surgery day. I do remember talking to Dr. Alinsod and his staff the day before. They answered all my questions and met my husband and answered his questions. Again, they all made me feel so comfortable. They gave me detailed post-surgical instructions which were easy to follow. Dr. Alinsod preformed Labiaplasty on my inner labia and after that he preformed ThermiVa three times spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
The recovery was easy, I followed the post-surgical instructions exactly and everything went great. I went back to work within 7 days and I wasn’t in any pain. I was obviously swollen but icing and the creams helped a lot. 5-6 weeks into healing and I could really start to notice Dr. Alinsod’s beautiful work. I was so amazed at what I looked like!! I couldn’t believe it was me in the mirror. I showed my husband for the first time and I started crying! Happy tears, of course! It was the most beautiful feeling in the world. I was no longer ashamed. I no longer felt self-conscious. I was willingly letting my husband look directly at it without covering up or getting that weird, nervous feeling that I had always felt for the last 10 years of my sex life. I can’t even put into words how good that moment felt for me.
I'm comfortable now. I can wear whatever I want. I can wear underwear without worrying about a lip slip. I can run, hike and work out without worry. I can cross my legs without pinching. I can ride a horse or bicycle without rubbing. I can wear swimsuit without the cameltoe.
As far as the appearance: My Labia is so beautiful now! Omg! It looks so neat, tidy, and smooth. It’s ab-solutely gorgeous! My clitoris and inner labia fit neatly inside my outer labia and my outer labia are now smooth and tight. With the ThermiVa treatments, my clitoris labia are highly sensitive and achieving an orgasm is easy and the actual orgasm is mind blowing!! I highly recommend getting ThermiVa! Seriously, the intensity of the littlest touch down there is amazing! Dr. Alinsod is truly a gifted a surgeon. I can’t say that enough. He really is master at his craft.
Dr. Alinsod, Maria, Marisol, Diane:
I don’t have the words to express how grateful I am to have found your office 2 years ago. For the confidence you’ve given back to me. For giggling and laughing with me at my stupid jokes. For providing me a comfortable environment. For the hand on my shoulder to ensure me that I’m okay. For positive energy and good vibes. You guys have changed my negative self image into a healthy self love. I will always remember the compassion and kindness that all four of you showed me. You guys were well worth the wait. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my labia so much! Thank you. Xoxo (Patient of Dr. Alinsod)
Dear Dr. Alinsod,
I wanted to write you a letter about my ThermiVa experience after only one session a month ago. So far, pretty exciting and “Happy Happy!” Such a comfortable and pleasing treatment with absolutely no complications. Immediately I felt my labia and vulva to be tighter, a lot less saggy, and a definite “WOW!” in the way it looked. So much more moisture and less irritation in my jeans and softer and smoother skin. This started about 2 weeks after treatment. I loved the way I looked in front of the mirror and I felt sexier. Funny how a simple treatment can give so much confidence.
I am over 50 and I have never had a baby so I don’t have the typical damage down there or the looseness that many ladies have after childbirth. But I had some vaginal looseness that I wanted tighter and after the first treatment I definitely felt tighter inside my vagina, was able to have more muscle control, and did not leak urine anymore! I used to sit down and pee and then dribbled down my legs when I stood up. My muscle control was not good. That all went away immediately after the ThermiVa treatment! I did not have to wait two weeks for this effect. I could now stop and start my urine flow as I wished! It was really amazing to do that again after so many years of no control.
Dr. Alinsod, I wanted this treatment more for my problems with orgasms than the tightness or the dryness or the leaking so I have to tell you that ThermiVa is a Home Run in this regard. I don’t know what it did or how it did it but ThermiVa made my “sensitive spot” easier to find and identify! I can now find that “G-Spot” place that now gives me my ultimate highs! My climaxes are more intense, my muscles contract stronger and more coordinated, and I can come with my partner on top, which was not possible before treatment. Most of my improved stimulation is in that G-Spot inside and not on the clitoris itself. It is so nice to have orgasms easier and faster. I am not so stressed and focused on getting orgasms now and I enjoy sex with my partner so much better. So glad you did not have to do injections on my nerves like they do with the G-Shot and O-Shot. Too scary for me. Radiofrequency is less scary and obviously works with no pain. You have used radiofrequency for so many years so I trust you. I am so relieved that now I have something I know can help me with my personal and intimate needs. This is definitely a life changer that needs to get out to the world. I will see you soon.

Dear Dr. Alinsod,
I have forwarded in a separate email a photo of my vagina the day before my first ThermiVa treatment and another photo 24 hours following my first ThermiVa treatment. The results of the tightening of my labia majora was unbelievable. I took these pictures to share the dramatic change with my husband as I had to travel out of state to obtain the treatment and did not return home for a week following the treatment, he was very impressed. I believe his exact words were wow that looks beautiful.
I wanted to share with you some additional and very exciting news since you completed my first ThermiVa treatment. My urine incontinence has stopped completely. I have regained the ability to start and stop my urine flow which I have not been able to do for years.
When I returned home and made love to my husband for the first time since my initial treatment I was able to have intercourse without the aid of ALOT of lubricant. My comfort level was so much better I suppose due to the increased natural lubrication and my orgasm was much stronger.
But here was the real surprise for me. My husband said that it felt incredible to him, I think the term he used was Oh My God as he orgasmed. I asked him to describe the difference as to how it felt to him versus before and here is what he said.
During penetration in the past he has only been able to get significant pleasure when thrusting his penis in and out of my vagina sufficiently to gain the tightness of my vagina which has been concentrated around the opening of the vagina only. Once he had full penetration prior to my treatment there was really very little if any sensation on the entire penis. After my treatment he said it felt like his entire penis including the head and shaft were surrounded and gripped by soft, warm and moist tissue. It did not require him to work as hard and his orgasm was twice as intense. He told me to give you a million thanks.
I am so happy with how I look, how I feel and how I am able to give both myself and my husband such in- credible pleasure. You have transformed both our lives. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to you. By they way in case anyone wants to know, the treatments are relaxing, comfortable and actually feel good.
Your advocate forever,
(Patient of Dr. Alinsod)
I am a 53-year-old woman who has had two children. My labia had become loose and a bit saggy and no matter how many Kegels I did, my vagina felt large and loose. Sex was ok, but I had lost some confidence in myself and ability to please my partner. I didn’t really know what to think about “the procedure performed”, but there was no down side to it. There was no pain during or after, no burning, no discharge, no mess. After the first treatment in a series of three, I was surprised that my labia seemed closer to my body and there also was some vaginal tightening.
It was after the second treatment that I noticed a significant difference. My labia were fuller and softer and my vagina was noticeably tighter. Sex was very good.
I had not told my partner that I was having the procedure. He is ten years older than me and has difficulty ejaculating during intercourse. So I was surprised when my new tightness created enough friction for him to alleviate that issue. Sex became better for both of us I could feel him more and sex was more pleasurable for both of us.
I did not think things could get tighter or sex better, until after the third treatment. But they did and I am so thankful to Dr. Alinsod for recommending this procedure to me.
I feel better about myself, more youthful and sexier. My partner is a happy man and our sex life, which was good, is now better than ever.
Thank you again Dr. Alinsod.
(Patient of Dr. Alinsod)
Dear Dr. Alinsod,
Now that I have completed all my treatments I wanted to give you my impression on ThermiVa. The treat- ments have really been wonderful and quite easy. I had no blisters, no burns, no discharge, and not a single complication. I had sex the same day of my treatments and I went to my gym immediately and it’s as if no procedure had been done. It’s crazy! Your design for ThermiVa handle so comfortable and very slim that I barely felt it being inserted and I felt just gentle pressure. All I felt was pleasing warmth on my labia and my vagina. It really helped that you were gentle and slow and did not rush. Putting a tampon inside is probably more uncomfortable than using your device. Your device was smooth and rounded and not scary at all.
So Dr. Alinsod, let me summarize how I felt immediately after your treatments and how it is now that I am months done. The first treatment definitely got me tighter and my husband and I loved it. It wasn’t’ imme- diate for me and it took me two weeks before I felt significantly tighter. I got tighter more after the second treatment and then even more after the third treatment. My husband said that my muscles felt stronger and that I had better grip and more noticeable friction. He loved the way the outside labia looked and he said it made a big difference visually. My husband said I look more youthful and pretty and appealing. Men are so visual. Appearance and comfort was so much better in both our eyes. Now I can wear my tighter clothing without the rubbing or at least not feeling irritated anymore. There was no difference in my vaginal moisture or how I got wet but that had never been a problem for me. My orgasms come quicker now with the same intensity and there’s been no change in the frequency of my orgasms. I’m not sure why my orgasms are better but perhaps it can be because of my improved appearance giving me more confidence and less self consciousness worries. For sure I can feel my husband more and I’m definitely tighter.
I couldn’t have multiple orgasms in the past now I’m able to have multiple orgasms for the first time in my life. I have more sensitivity. The strength of my orgasms are about the same as before but it feels better for some reason I can’t really explain. Anyway this is probably the best lunchtime rejuvenation available out there! I’d pay for this procedure over and over and over!
I’m so glad you included me in your study. This is really going to help so many women around the world. I hope you get this out in the market soon and train doctors from all over the world.
With sincere thanks,
(Patient of Dr. Alinsod)
Dear Dr. Alinsod,
You asked me to write about my experience so I hope you don’t mind that I am writing you not a very formal letter. I think it’s better if I write from my heart. Thanks so much for taking care of me this past year. It has really changed my life in so many different ways. You have been so kind and open with me. You understood my needs and insecurities as a dancer and adult entertainer. So you knew how important this whole ThermiVa treatment was for me.
When you first started ThermiVa early last year I noticed immediately how the texture and tightness of my labia majora improved. Super dramatic changes for sure which got rid of my camel toes. Gave me lots more confidence when I performed. On the inside I had more vaginal tightness and it just kept getting tighter. My boyfriend loved the way it looks and how I was suddenly able to have orgasms one right after another when in the past I had none before treatments. My two kids really messed up my vagina and I thought I would never have orgasms again! It had been over 5 years since I had one before you treated me. Now I have multiple orgasms and they are super intense since the treatments. They are the “good kind” of orgasms and they come within seconds of each other to about three minutes apart. At one time I had seven in a row, which was completely unbelievable. I used to have only orgasms with oral or manual stimulation but now I’m able to have orgasms with penetration. This is really important to me. When you first treated me I was a little bit worried that you got me too tight because I couldn’t insert my vibrators anymore. But now I don’t need them because I can have great sex with my boyfriend and have orgasms without the toys. I notice I am more aroused and more wet and don’t need lubrication anymore. I don’t know how ThermiVa has done this whether it helped heal some of my nerves or if it’s all in my head because now I feel healthier and sexier. I know the radiofrequency has helped both the inside and outside my vagina. Doesn’t really matter if it is mental or physical healing with me, it helped!
You asked me also if there were any areas I thought it didn’t help at all. Well, it didn’t help me with my urination because I really had no problems with it before treatments. I don’t leak when I cough or sneeze or jump around and exercise. I do have less feeling that I have to go all the time after the treatments. I don’t know what that’s about. One thing I did notice was that I had more control of my urine stream. My urina- tion muscles are stronger and I can start and stop anytime I want now. Some other things I noticed where that my labia majora were softer and smoother but also more full feeling. I said earlier they feel more comfortable when I’m in tight clothes like jeans or bikinis.
So Dr. Alinsod, I will definitely be a regular customer coming to your office every six months. There is no way I want to lose what I have gained from your treatments. Have told all my close friends about you. Seeing you is so worth the drive.
(Patient of Dr. Alinsod)
Dear Dr. Alinsod,
I have now finished all three of the ThermiVa treatments and am still in awe of the results I have gotten. I can’t believe all this has happened to me without the need for surgery and with treatments that were com- fortable, felt actually good, and were totally relaxing. And having absolutely no downtime was great. I could have sex the same day as the treatment, had no blisters, burns, or complications.
I was pessimistic at first after Dr. Alinsod did my first ThermiVa treatment. It only took half an hour and I was relaxed during the treatment of both my labia majora and my outer and inner vagina. I noticed some tight- ness immediately on the majora but did not feel a huge change inside my vagina during the first two weeks. I thought I was the failure for his treatments. So many other women had amazing and lasting results and here I was thinking “Great, it would be me that does not respond!” Then 10 days after the first treatment my vagina got really really tight! Significantly tighter! I felt better muscular control and increased strength in my vagina and urinary muscles and my husband sure felt that benefit! He also liked the tightness and softness of my labia majora and the moist smoothness inside my vagina. One thing I really liked was that my labia majora did not sag anymore and I got rid of the “Camel Toes.” Never thought that would happen without surgery.
I used to have this pain on the left side of my vagina, for decades in fact. It was always tender when hit. The wand that Dr. Alinsod used treated that area on the floor of my vagina, a very sore muscle probably, and now the muscle is not sore at all! There is no more pain, as if my muscles were healed. That sure makes a world of difference not and both Dr. Alinsod and I can’t really explain how a painful and sore area of muscle is now non-painful and working more strongly and more coordinated. I know radiofrequency treatments are used for sore and damaged muscles for professional athletes and physical therapy offices so now I can related to others who have had relief of muscle pain due to the healing effects of radiofrequency. Dr. Alinsod told me that it does encourage new collagen to form does help with tissue healing. I am a prime example.
There is one other wonderful thing I have noticed that got better with each ThermiVa treatment and that is the control of my urine. Dr. Alinsod did not do the treatments on me for the control of urine but simply to tighten my labia and vagina. When I reported to him that I leaked less urine, in fact I don’t leak at all now since after the first treatment, he told me that it was a pleasant result of tightening the “pubocervical fascia” that help with urine control and fallen bladders. I can hold my urine longer now, can produce a stronger squeeze to prevent accidents, and can make it to the bathroom in plenty of time.
Lastly, I also noticed that after treatment around my clitoral nerves and the supposed G-Spot, my orgasms are now easier to achieve. I can’t have multiple orgasms and my orgasms are about the same intensity but now it does not take me all night to get there! What a wonderful thing! I did not even have many orgasms before treatment and now it seems like I can get one on any lovemaking with my husband. I enjoy the lovemaking between my husband and I more and the stress and anxiety of getting that orgasm is gone. It is just a pleasure now being with my husband. That is worth everything. ThermiVa has really been a blessing for us. I hope it becomes available to all my friends and family.
With hope and happiness,
(Patient of Dr. Alinsod)
Dear Dr. Alinsod,
I wanted to write you a letter about the ThermiVa treatment you gave me over a month ago. I know I have two more to go but thought it would be important for you to know how your patients feel and respond after just one treatment. First of all, ThermiVa was a gentle and comfortable massage-like treatment that caused absolutely no discomfort for me. It was nice for me to guide the treatments by telling you to go up or down on the heat. No anesthesia, no zaps, no numbing creams to use. I heard the laser treatments gave you little shocks or rubber band snaps that sometimes needed numbing. Glad to avoid that.
Let me start with the effects I saw on the outside and then go inside. My majora felt tighter and more snug, less bulgy and fatty, and much more comfortable in my jeans with less rubbing irritation. I had the problem with thickened skin (my dermatitis) and I can say that my skin now feels thinner and normal and I have less itching there. I really did not want to use my steroids cream anymore and this radiofrequency has helped a ton. I hope the next couple of treatments improve it more.
Internally, my vaginal definitely feels tighter in the opening and down deep. My partner certainly noticed the tightening and better lubrication and he was a very happy camper. I noticed more wetness too and was surprised how much it was when I was aroused, a very pleasant surprise. Getting to my orgasms took a shorter period of time, which was great. The orgasms felt amazing and quite different than my usual. It was better. The clitoral area was much more sensitive in a good way probably because there was some pulling back of my clitoral hood from the shrinkage of loose skin. It was not irritating and was quite pleasing. Inside my vagina on the G-Spot area was also a new pleasurable sensation that was very stimulating. It is hard to describe other than to say it felt really good. I am extremely happy with what I have experienced in ThermiVa Treatment #1. I will definitely tell others about this and will recommend it highly. The flights from Northern California are well worth it. Now I know why your patients fly in from Texas, Arizona, and from all over the world.
Warmest regards,
(Patient of Dr. Alinsod)
Dear Dr. Alinsod,
I wanted to write a letter to let you know how happy I am with the results of my ThermiVa treatments. I fly in to California all the way from Missouri because of your reputation and because ThermiVa is not of- fered out here yet. I did not consider surgery and I was not impressed with the laser treatments available for my loose, dry vagina and poor orgasms. None of the lasers can help me with all of my problems. I did not even consider MonaLisa Touch, FemiLift or IntimaLase. They are so limited in what they can do and extremely expensive. When I heard of ThermiVa, I realized right away, this is the perfect treatment for me. After my first treatment I saw immediate results! I continued to do the 2nd and 3rdtreatment and I can honestly say that I am very pleased and satisfied with my sex life and my confidence.
Let me break down in all honesty what I felt and what I observed after the one treatment in March of 2015. You told me to keep some kind of diary so here goes…
Since you treated my G-Spot area with ThermiVa my orgasms are easier and faster to achieve probably by over 50%. I don’t know how or why but my orgasms are both stronger and with more intense sensa- tion. I can even now have orgasms when I am on bottom when I used to never do that. It’s crazy. Now I am consistently multi-orgasmic and I absolutely never thought I could do that. I have 3 to 4 in a row on a regular basis now! My partner playfully rated me a minus 50 before my treatments in my difficulty in achieving orgasms and now he says I have improved 100% to a score of 50! We both are shooting for more improvement towards a score of 100! Overall this has help tremendously with improvement of our sex lives. My partner was initially hesitant and against me coming out to see you but he is so supportive of my decisions. We love each other very much and would like nothing more but to please each other. He now thinks you are a genius. My partner and I give this area of treatment an A!! ThermiVa had no side effects. I did not have any urinary problems. It had no effects on my skin color and did not cause any blisters or burns or discharge. There was no pain and I could have sex or go to the gym or do all normal things in life the same day. So in all I rate it an A+ in that treatments have no downtime or complications whatsoever.
After the 2nd and 3rd treatments, I am 100% cured. I decided to complete my 3rd treatment so I can be completely satisfied with myself. This procedure has changed my life. I can enjoy intimacy with my partner and have pleasure from it. It is truly a blessing to have found Dr. Alinsod. The environment is welcoming and the nurses are so helpful. They comfort me each time and that is also another reason why I came back. My sister will be coming along also to start her treatments with you. We are both exited to fly out to Laguna Beach to see you.
With sincerity,
(Patient of Dr. Alinsod)
Dear Dr. Alinsod,
Here’s my letter for my ThermiVa written from the point of view from after my first treatment. I’m sorry it’s kinda long but I just have so much to say about it! :)
I had long, dark, and bulky inner labia that would pinch and pull while I walked, ran and worked out. They were visible in tight clothing. Sex was extremely uncomfortable and sometimes painful. I was so embar- rassed of them for so long. I even stopped having sex just so no one would see them.
I found Dr. Alinsod doing some online research and scheduled a consultation. Then after falling in love with him and his wonderful staff, I booked my surgery which was a Labiaplasty of my inner labia and a treatment called ThermiVa that treats the clitoris and inner and outer labia. ThermiVa is controlled radiofrequency energy that transfers heat directly to the labia making it appear tighter and smoother and increasing sensitivity. My 3 treatments are spaced 4 weeks apart.
I was a nervous wreck and Dr. Alinsod and his girls made me feel right at home. I don’t remember the day of surgery but I remember my husband telling me he was impressed with the compassion they showed when he picked me up and dropped me off. The healing process was very easy, Dr. Alinsod gives you de- tailed post surgical instructions. The swelling started to go down and I looked more normal at 6 weeks.
I’m now just past 10 weeks post surgery and my labia looks absolutely beautiful! My clitoris and inner lips fit neatly inside my outer lips! It looks nice and tidy. It looks gorgeous from every angle! It looks like a perfect little clamshell, which is the exact word I used to describe my desired look in my consultation! I never thought that I could look the way I do now from what how I looked before surgery. Dr. Alinsod is a brilliant surgeon! And I’m so thrilled with the outcome!
I just had my first ThermiVa and OMG! My outer (and inner) labia look tight and smooth and are super soft to the touch. My sensitivity went from a 2 to an 8! Just the littlest touchdown there feels amazing. I never thought I could have the sensations and intense sexual arousal that I’ve had since I’ve had ThermiVa. I’m so excited for 2 more treatments! I get warmed up faster, I reach orgasms faster AND the intensity of my orgasms blow me away! I even finish before my husband! My entire vagina, not just the labia feels very tight. I strongly recommend Dr. Alinsod and having ThermiVa done! It’s well worth it! You will not regret it!

Dear Dr. Alinsod,
"I am turning 50 this year and I am noticing many changes in my body. As a female physician in the aesthetic field, I have mastered a repertoire of non-invasive solutions to address many of the aging changes that bother my patients, thus every day helping my patients feel better and more confident about themselves. However, some of the changes that happen to women with aging such as vaginal dryness, vaginal mucosa thinning, vaginal canal laxity, urinary leakage and decrease sensation with sexual intercourse, even as a physician, I thought had to just be accepted and endured until I discovered ThermiVa.
Bladder leakage and lack of orgasm with intimacy were two of the nuisance aging changes from which I have silently suffered for many years. I never told my doctor at my yearly checkups. I never talked about it with my husband. Why not? Because until now, other than hormone replacement which I was already on, and surgical intervention which I was really not ready for, medicine did not offer any easy solutions. This is astounding to me, as these problems affect all women in their peri-menopausal and or menopausal years. Then I discovered ThermiVa.
Today, I finished my third monthly ThermiVa treatment. I am delighted to share with you that my results thus far have exceeded my expectations. My Urinary leakage has reduced by 80% and my doctor assures me that my results will continue to improve during the next three months. I am finding sexual intercourse as enjoyable as in my twenties again.
In short, I was so delighted with my ThermiVa results 2 weeks into my second treatment that I decided to buy the technology and offer ThermiVa to my patients. We introduced ThermiVa at a recent practice event, sharing my ThermiVa experience with our patients. I am truly amazed by the number of women who felt comfortable confiding in my staff and I about the feminine changes bothering them, with many signing up to initiate their treatment series.
As a peri-menopausal woman, I recommend ThermiVa treatments to any woman suffering from feminine aging changes. As a compassionate physician, I recommend ThermiVa technology to physicians who are considering adding this treatment to their practice.“
(Patient of Dr. Alinsod)
“Before I had hardly any sex drive. Even after one treatment I can hear a song on the radio or see something on TV and I feel the stimulation. My husband is happy. Looking forward to my next treatment session.”
"I did not tell my husband that I was getting it done. But he noticed that I was initiating intimacy more often. He finally just flat out asked what was going on. He is not so grumpy now.”
Dear Dr. Alinsod,
“My issue was sweating and irritation and by the end of the day I was uncomfortable. No longer do I have such an issue but I was pleasantly surprised that sensation was enhanced.”
“Trying to have intercourse without using external lubrication was out of the question due to discomfort for both of us and a damper on the mood. I have not used any since my treatment. Definite improvement.”
“At first I did not get the immediate ‘Wow” effect but as the days and weeks went on there was change just as my doctor said.”
“I have notice a significant difference in my confidence with arousal, foreplay, sex since the treatment”
“I don’t fake it anymore...”
“It was tough for me to reach orgasm prior due to minimal sensation. I have multiple orgasms with sex and my husband know that first one is just a warm up. I am very tingly...like it was before the children”
“I came in for one concern but was pleasantly surprised that I had an improvement in other areas.”
“Vaginal Tightening? Doc you the man” - Happy husband
“I am turning 50 this year and I am noticing many changes in my body. As a female physician in the aesthetic field, I have mastered a repertoire of non-invasive solutions to address many of the aging changes that bother my patients, thus every day helping my patients feel better and more confident about themselves. However, some of the changes that happen to women with aging such as vaginal dryness, vaginal mucosa thinning, vaginal canal laxity, urinary leakage and decrease sensation with sexual intercourse, even as a physician, I thought had to just be accepted and endured until I discovered ThermiVa.
Bladder leakage and lack of orgasm with intimacy were two of the nuisance aging changes form which I have silently suffered for many years. I never told my doctor at my yearly checkups. I never talked about it with my husband. Why not? Because until now, other than hormone replacement which I was already on, and surgical intervention which I was really not ready for, medicine did not offer any easy solutions. This is astounding to me, as these problems effect all women in their peri-menopausal and or menopausal years. Then I discovered ThermiVa.
Today, I finished my third monthly ThermiVa treatment. I am delighted to share with you that my results thus far have exceeded my expectations. My Urinary leakage has reduced by 80% and my doctor assures me that my results will continue to improve during the next three months. I am finding sexual intercourse as enjoyable as in my twenties again.
In short, I was so delighted with my ThermiVa results 2 weeks into my second treatment that I decided to buy the technology and offer ThermiVa to my patients. We introduced ThermiVa at a recent practice event, sharing my ThermiVa experience with our patients. I am truly amazed by the number of women who felt comfortable confiding in my staff and I about the feminine changes bothering them, with many signing up to initiate their treatment series.
As a peri- menopausal woman, I recommend ThermiVa treatments to any woman suffering from feminine aging changes. As a compassionate physician, I recommend ThermiVa technology to physicians who are considering adding this treatment to their practice. “ - Aesthetic Female Physician
Patient RS, had uterine cancer and could not be on hormones. Within a month she had comfort both vaginally and on her dry labia. No more irritation on her labia and rubbing on clothing.
Team ThermiVa,
We have begun our initial ThermiVa treatments and it has been just as Dr. Alinson said “amazing results”!
… I went from the desert to the rain forest
… It was worth every penny
… I was impressed and so was my husband
I also wanted to share a few things we have learned in our practice for possible CAC sharing:
Our staff calls them “magic wands”
After using the wands we sterilized them and use them with our consultants. It makes thinks less intimidating and eases anxiety. Also we are able to show them the “red” safety device as well for marketing. We also have a big “DEMO” label on them as well

Red as you know I am the aesthetic surgeon and my wife is the gynecologists and our practices are located in the same building. This the first entity that we can help common patients for a common goal. We do all the procedures in my MedSpa and they are performed by my RN who has a urology background. Our ThermiVa patients’ results are as consistent as advertized. We look forward to participating in this project together. Even for those patients who were considering a labiaplasty they are considering the ThermiVa due to virtually no risk. During our consultations we ask them if you have the desire to improve of either laxity? dryness? sensation? leaking? Then you have the potential of improvement in all the others as well. Neither Botox, surgery, or medications stimulate an “immediate WOW response” after treatment from our patients and their partner like ThermiVa.

"This 43-year-old woman had three vaginal births. Her last child weighed nine pounds. After having her boy, she noted severe urinary urgency to the degree that she had to immediately get to a bathroom when she felt the need, otherwise she would leak large volumes of urine.
She had a single ThermiVa treatment June 24, 2015 at Plastic Surgical Associates in Fort Collins. Her ability to maintain urinary continence has gone from only seconds to 20-3 minutes, which gives her time to drive home from work before needing to find a bathroom.
This patient is enrolled in our prospective randomized clinical trial. She was treated on the left side only as far as external genitalia.
This is her early result at three weeks."

"ThermiVa therapy is the most exciting advancement I have seen in Gynecology in the past fifteen years. I am very excited about the use of ThermiVa to treat vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence, atrophic vaginitis, and labial abnormalities,” said Dr. Saye. He added, “ThermiVa is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that is performed in the office setting. This provides a tremendous cost saving option to the patient. I commend Red Alinsod, MD, for his early pioneering work to develop the procedure, and to the entire Thermi team for supporting the development of this extraordinary advancement in the field of women’s health. I am truly overtaken with pride to be part of the team aiding in the development and use of ThermiVa.”

"The ThermiVa patient is unique. She is seeking discretion in treating a very personal concern. Many are looking for improvement in aesthetic appearance, some desire increased sensation and lubrication, but, all desire a better sexual experience overall. What we have experienced as physicians administering ThermiVa therapy for our patients is immediate results and gratification. The tissue literally changes before our eyes. When patients return for their next session and note a remarkable difference in their look, feel and pleasure it makes the thirty minute long, one on one session absolutely worth it. It’s an exciting sense of accomplishment, similar to what is felt immediately post op.
Our ThermiVa patients have quoted delight from their partners as well; some of which are oblivious to the fact that they are even having the treatments. One patient commented that her partner told her “I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep on doing it”! Another’s husband said she hasn’t felt that good since before she had children. We can tell a remarkable difference in the tightness of the probe from one session to the next, and yes we actually do remember the severity of laxity encountered at the initial visit because the change is that dramatic. So far as physicians, Drs. Miklos, Moore and I are very pleased with the ThermiVa results we have seen in our patients. We have turned skeptical optimists into believers and lifelong Thermi clients. We have not yet tried the entire Thermi line but with these results we will not be able to keep the patients at bay."

“ThermiVa is a grand slam home run. I have treated 8 patients and all that have come in for their second treatment are very pleased. Three have cleared their stress incontinence after one treatment. Four have had their first treatment and I have not yet seen them back for their follow-up. The procedure is very simple and there have been zero complaints. I set it for 45 degrees and treat external for 12 minutes (4 min each for left, right and superior) and internal for 12 minutes (6 min posterior and 6 min anterior). I doubt that the laser people can match the ease, lack of complications, low cost of the equipment and complete patient satisfaction that I see."
