About Aviva Scarless Labiaplasty
If you are considering labiaplasty for any reason, you deserve to know about all of your options. This includes techniques that will minimize any potential discomfort and side effects, as well as those that will leave you with the best-looking results. Dr. Wooten is proud to offer the Aviva scarless method for labiaplasty, which uses safe and effective heat instead of excision to minimize tissue. Not only does this technique leave patients with no visible scarring, but it also reduces the chance of infection and speeds up healing time.
The Aviva method uses radio-frequency energy to heat and shrink the tissue of the labia. This results in a smaller, more aesthetically-pleasing shape. Dr. Wooten can complete the procedure in-office and it takes less than an hour to complete.
How Does Radio-Frequency Energy Work?
Radiofrequency energy remodels the deep layers of the tissue and tightens it, resulting in less protrusion of the labia majora or minora. Thermal energy works by heating the tissue to a temperature that is high enough to cause collagen contraction, but not so high as to cause the destruction of the tissue. In fact, this same technology is used to tighten skin on the face and body without surgery. [1]
Aviva is made by InMode, the same medical device company that produces Morpheus8, EvolveX, and Votiva FormaV, another other intimate rejuvenationrejuvantion treatment. Aviva is a bi-polar RF handpiece with a thin, needle-likeneedle like probe that is inserted under the skin, where it delivers carefully controlled energy that creates a thermal effect in the tissue. A sensor on the outside of the device controls the energy, and keeps the tissue from overheating. This means that tissue can be treated through a small puncture, rather than extended incisionsmultiple incisions, as with a traditional labiaplasty.
That means no stitches, no incisions to care for during recovery, and no risk of scarring or discoloration. Recovery is swift, and patients do not face the same activity restrictions during the healing period as with a traditional excisional labiaplasty procedure.

Aviva technology’s significantly improved safety features allow for shorter procedures with a reduced risk of thermal damage, meaning patients experience less pain and potential tissue damage. Aviva technology not only helps to reduce excess tissue of the labia minora, but it can also be used on the labia majora, which often experiences tissue laxity as a result of aging. As a result, patients experience an overall tightening of the entire vulvar area.
No matter what your reason for considering labiaplasty may be, Dr. Wooten will take the time to listen to your concerns and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
