RFAL stands for radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis. The clinic’s previous Aviva page describes a procedure using a small cannula and local anaesthetic, with information about swelling, discomfort and aftercare.
That historical description should not be read as a current recommendation for vaginal rejuvenation. The TGA has completed its review of energy-based devices for this purpose; discuss the current regulatory position and appropriate alternatives with your clinician.
What we can discuss
- Understanding historical procedure information
- Discussing risks and current evidence
- Considering assessment and alternatives
Before you decide.
Your assessment
Start with a consultation about your concern. Ask what options are currently appropriate, whether a device is approved for the proposed use, and what evidence supports the recommendation.
Recovery & aftercare
The previous clinic information describes swelling, bruising and discomfort, with individual aftercare instructions. Recovery depends on the procedure and person; obtain current written advice before any decision.
Clinic aftercare information ↗Risks & suitability
The TGA reports insufficient evidence for the therapeutic use and long-term safety of energy-based vaginal rejuvenation devices. This page preserves access to historical information and does not recommend that use.

The original clinical video includes graphic nudity and procedure footage. It is restricted to adults aged 18 and over and is shown only after an explicit choice to view it.
What should I ask at a consultation?
