Laser Labiaplasty Orange County
Laser labiaplasty in Orange County is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
A labiaplasty without the surgery is the concept. Many women are interested in a labiaplasty but are hesitant or concerned about the recovery time, the surgical risks, the potential pain that comes after surgery, or undergoing local anesthesia.
Laser labiaplasty, performed using radiofrequency energy, uses a device called the Aviva radiofrequency system. This offers a way to achieve labia minora reduction through a minimally invasive approach that involves no cutting, no sutures, and no general anesthesia.
The procedure is performed in-office under local anesthesia with patients returning to full normal activities usually in less then one week. Most results are notably visualized until week 8 to 12.

How Does the Aviva Laser Labiaplasty Treatment Work?
A small one-millimeter incision is made to introduce local anesthesia along the labia minora, labia majora, and clitoral hood. At that point, a very tiny rod is inserted into the labia minora, and radiofrequency is deployed to shrink the tissue from within.
The wand delivers controlled radiofrequency energy that shrinks and reduces the thickness, and length of the labia and the areas of the treated tissue. There is no cutting, no suturing, and no general anesthesia required.The entire treatment is performed in our office and takes less time than a traditional labiaplasty.
How Does Aviva Compare to a Traditional Labiaplasty Surgery?
A traditional labiaplasty is performed under local anesthesia. We are very clear on what the end results desired by our patient and utilize instruments like radiofrequency energy to cut the excess tissue and contour the surgery to the patient’s long desired goal.
Recovery typically takes anywhere between four to six weeks, although patients are mobile from day one. Traditional labiaplasties do carry a small risk of bleeding, infection, scarring, and changes in sensation.
However, in the hands of an experienced surgeon and proven techniques, these risk factors are very minimal.
Why Choose Aviva Over Regular Labiaplasty?
Aviva uses radiofrequency energy both internally and externally to avoid cutting or suturing. The tissue shrinks rather than being physically removed, which means no scarring at the treatment site. Most patients see an average 10 to 15% reduction in the labia minora, majora, or clitoral hood. The primary tradeoff is that the ability to customize the look or pursue more aggressive tissue reduction is more limited than with traditional surgery.
Traditional labiaplasty does the following:
- Performed using a scalpel or surgical scissors under local or general anesthesia
- Tissue is removed through incisions and sutured closed
- Recovery typically takes four to six weeks
- Carries risks including bleeding, infection, scarring, and changes in sensation
- A proven method with a long track record of effective results
Laser Labiaplasty with Aviva
Aviva uses radiofrequency energy to reshape and tighten labial tissue without cutting or suturing. Rather than removing tissue, the procedure works by shrinking it. This allows precise energy to contract and remodel the area from within. Because there is no incision, there is no scar at the treatment site.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you remain comfortable throughout without the risks associated with general anesthesia. Most patients return to their normal routines within approximately one week. The non-surgical approach also significantly reduces the risk of bleeding, infection, and scarring that can accompany traditional labiaplasty techniques.
Is Anesthesia Needed for an Aviva Laser Labiaplasty Procedure?
Since Aviva labiaplasty is a non-surgical option, general anesthesia is not needed. Local anesthesia is provided so that discomfort and pain are eliminated during the procedure. A mild sedative can also be provided to those who are nervous or anxious about the procedure.
What to Expect After the Aviva Procedure and Recovery
Although the procedure is non-surgical, there is some light irritation and swelling around the treated area secondary to the heat from the laser. This may be expected for a few days. Most patients will return to full normal activities within one week.
The most common side effect is mild itching or irritation that resolves on its own within a few days. Risks such as significant bleeding, infection, and scarring are unlikely given the non-surgical nature of the procedure. However, Dr. Ghozland’s team monitors the healing through follow-up visits and is always available to answer questions.
Am I a Good Candidate for Aviva Laser Labiaplasty?
Aviva is a good fit for patients who want to reduce the size or improve the symmetry of the labia minora, labia majora, or clitoral hood without undergoing surgery. It works best for those seeking a moderate improvement, typically a 10 to 15% reduction in tissue, rather than a dramatic change in appearance.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Experience discomfort or irritation from enlarged labia during physical activity, exercise, or intercourse
- Are bothered by the appearance of the labia but want to avoid surgical incisions and sutures
- Have a busy schedule and cannot accommodate a four to six week surgical recovery
- Prefer a procedure performed under local anesthesia without the risks of general anesthesia
- Are in good overall health with no active infections or skin conditions in the treatment area
Aviva may not be the right choice if you are looking for significant tissue removal or a highly customized reshaping result. In those cases, traditional labiaplasty may be more appropriate. Dr. Ghozland offers both approaches and will recommend the option best suited to your anatomy and goals during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Labiaplasty
How long does the Aviva procedure take?
The procedure is performed in-office and takes less time than a traditional labiaplasty. Most appointments are completed within an hour.
Is the procedure painful?
Local anesthesia can be administered before the procedure begins, so discomfort during treatment is minimal. A mild sedative is available for patients who feel anxious. Some light irritation and swelling in the treated area is normal in the days following the procedure.
How much reduction can I expect?
Most patients see an average reduction of 10 to 15% in the size of the treated tissue. Results vary based on individual anatomy. If you are looking for more significant reduction, Dr. Ghozland will discuss whether traditional labiaplasty would be a better fit.
When will I see results from my procedure?
Some change is visible shortly after treatment, but final results develop gradually as the tissue contracts and remodels over the following weeks.
Will there be any scarring?
No. Because there are no incisions or sutures, there is no scarring at the treatment site.
Can Aviva treat the labia majora and clitoral hood as well?
Yes. While many patients seek treatment for the labia minora, Aviva can also be used to address the labia majora and clitoral hood depending on your anatomy and goals.
How many treatments are needed?
Most patients achieve their desired results with a single treatment session.
When can I return to normal activities?
Most patients return to their regular routine within one week.
