What is Aviva?
In combination with RFAL technology, the Aviva handpiece is a game changer in restoring the labia’s function and appearance. It is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive option for labiaplasty that can be an in-office procedure, with minimal downtime.
All women as we age lose the fat pads on the labia majora (after weight loss or after pregnancy when the skin was stretched, and after menopause when we lose estrogen).
Aviva is a innovative minimally invasive procedure to help women feel more comfortable in their bodies. The procedure restores the function and appearance of the vulva by offering a non-excisional alternative to labiaplasty. The small handpiece emits radio frequency energy into the labia and around the vagina to stimulate collagen, shrink of tissue and promote healing.
Downtime:
1-2 days
How does Aviva work?
Aviva an effective minimally invasive technology designed for body reshaping based on soft tissue coagulation, using a special handpiece used externally on the vagina to build collagen, renewing and firming the skin for a greater aesthetic appearance. It can be performed within Dr Sharon Li’s clinic under local anaesthesia, with minimal downtime, less pain and no scarring post procedure compared with surgery.
Aviva can be combined with the Morpheus8V treatment to enhance results.

You may be a suitable candidate for the procedure if:
- You are not satisfied with the aesthetic appearance of your intimate area
- You have good physical and mental health
- You experience discomfort from your intimate area, such as rubbing
- You consider you have extra skin and folds in your intimate area
- You have realistic expectations
- You are willing to follow your surgeon’s instructions
- You have a complete understanding of the risks and complications

Aviva vs. Labiaplasty
Compared to labiaplasty, Aviva is suitable for patients with mild symptoms. Aviva can tighten the labia majora and increase sensitivity for sexual function during intercourse. If patients have a more severe case of enlarged or elongated labia, they may still require the more traditional surgical labiaplasty to achieve their goals.
