After your ThermiVa appointment, recovery is minimal, and in most cases you’re able to go on with your day as you would normally. The appointment itself can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. Any discomfort felt is minimal, and usually only felt during the application of the heat radiofrequency. One of the reasons that ThermiVa is so popular is because of its virtually nonexistent recovery and downtime; there is no scarring, sensitivity, or necessity to withdraw from normal life activities for a certain period of time.
