WHAT IS VOTIVA?
Votiva is a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment that uses gentle radiofrequency energy to tighten and restore vaginal tissue. The Votiva FormaV device gently heats and treats both the internal and external vaginal tissue. This procedure tightens the vagina, helping restore sexual health and sensation for women who have experienced changes as a result of childbirth or aging. It’s a comfortable way to increase intimacy and restore tightness and sexual sensation to the vagina.

WHY WOMEN IN FRANKLIN AND BRENTWOOD CHOOSE VOTIVA
Though it is becoming increasingly popular, there are still not many non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation options for women. That’s why we offer the Votiva treatment in our Cool Springs office, a comfortable in-office option with no incisions and no downtime. Many women choose Votiva because it addresses intimacy, comfort, and bladder control concerns in one treatment.
WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR VOTIVA?
Not every woman has the same concerns, which is why a personalized consultation matters. Votiva may be a good option if you:
- Have noticed changes in vaginal tightness or comfort after childbirth or menopause
- Experience mild bladder leakage during exercise, laughing, or coughing
- Struggle with dryness or irritation that affects intimacy or daily comfort
- Want a non-surgical option to restore confidence and improve quality of life
Women who are pregnant, have an active infection, or certain implanted medical devices may need to delay or avoid treatment. Your provider will review your health history to determine if Votiva is safe and effective for you.
THE VOTIVA PROCEDURE: WHAT TO EXPECT
Votiva is designed to restore firmness and sensitivity to the vaginal areas without surgical intervention. Instead, a small wand delivers uniform radiofrequency energy to the tissues of the vaginal canal. This encourages collagen production in the vagina, which begins to strengthen and restore the vaginal tissue. By rejuvenating the tissues inside and outside the vagina, this procedure can also improve bladder control and reduce mild incontinence. Finally, this procedure also stimulates blood flow to the vaginal area, which can increase sensation and pleasure.

Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after their appointment, including exercise and sexual intercourse. Many women notice a difference soon after treatment, and results continue to improve over the following weeks and months. While some patients achieve significant results after their first treatment, others may need up to three Votiva treatment sessions to reach their desired results.
