At Jennifer Almonte, MD in McAllen, Texas, our board-certified OB/GYNs are proud to offer AVIVA, a minimally invasive, scarless solution for labial laxity and asymmetry. If you experience discomfort from enlarged or uneven labia during exercise, intimacy, or daily activities, AVIVA can enhance comfort, confidence, and overall vaginal wellness.
Tighten Labial and Vulvar Tissues Without Surgery
AVIVA is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that helps address labial laxity, asymmetry, and excess tissue without the need for traditional surgery. Using radiofrequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL), AVIVA delivers controlled heat beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production and tighten the labial and vulvar tissues. This process improves both the appearance and function of the treated area, enhancing comfort during activities like exercise or intimacy.

AVIVA Helps With These Symptoms:
- Discomfort from enlarged or elongated labia
- Irritation or chafing during exercise or daily activities
- Pain or discomfort during intimacy
- Visible labial asymmetry or laxity
- Difficulty with personal hygiene due to excess tissue
- Loss of labial firmness and elasticity from aging or childbirth
- Sensitivity or discomfort when sitting for long periods
How AVIVA Works
AVIVA uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to gently heat the labial and vulvar tissues from beneath the skin. This controlled heat stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, causing the tissues to contract and tighten.
Collagen is a protein that keeps skin firm and elastic but decreases with age and childbirth. By promoting collagen growth, AVIVA improves tissue firmness, reduces excess tissue, and enhances overall appearance without incisions.
Benefits of AVIVA:
- Minimally invasive with no surgical incisions
- Little to no visible scarring
- Quick procedure typically completed in under an hour
- Minimal downtime with fast recovery
- Enhanced comfort during exercise, intimacy, and daily activities
- Improved labial appearance and symmetry
- Increased collagen production for long-lasting results
- Effective alternative to traditional labiaplasty
Am I a Good Candidate for AVIVA?
AVIVA is ideal for women who experience discomfort from enlarged or lax labial tissues, want to improve labial appearance, or seek a non-surgical alternative to traditional labiaplasty. The ideal candidates are in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and want to enhance comfort during activities like exercise, intimacy, or wearing tight clothing.
AVIVA FAQs
What is the Recovery Like After AVIVA?
One of the benefits of AVIVA is its minimal downtime. Most patients can resume light activities within a day or two. However, to allow the tissues to heal properly, it’s generally recommended that they avoid strenuous exercise, sexual activity, and bathing for about a week.
When Will I See the Results From AVIVA?
Some improvements in tissue tightness and appearance can be noticed immediately after the procedure. However, the full results develop gradually over the next 6 to 12 weeks as your body produces new collagen and the treated tissues continue to contract.
How Long Do the Results of AVIVA Last?
The results from AVIVA can last several years, depending on factors like age, lifestyle, and hormonal changes. While the treatment promotes long-term collagen production, the natural aging process will continue over time. Many patients choose to schedule maintenance treatments as needed to prolong their results.
Is AVIVA Painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the AVIVA procedure. It is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the treatment. You may experience a warming sensation as the radiofrequency energy is delivered, but it’s generally well-tolerated. After the procedure, mild swelling or tenderness may occur for a few days.
How Long Does the AVIVA Procedure Take?
The AVIVA treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the area being treated. Since it’s performed in-office with local anesthesia, you can return home shortly after your appointment. Many patients easily fit the procedure into their busy schedules.
How Does AVIVA Compare to Traditional Labiaplasty?
Unlike traditional labiaplasty, which requires surgical incisions and longer recovery, AVIVA offers a scarless, minimally invasive solution with less downtime and fewer risks. It’s an excellent choice for patients seeking subtle improvements without undergoing surgery.
