Sexual Wellness Specialist Dr. Burt Webb: Cliovana Helps to Relieve Painful Intercourse

Updated on February 25, 2023

Dyspareunia is the medical term for painful intercourse that can occur before, during, or after sex. Incredibly common, as many as 60 percent of women can experience dyspareunia. Dr. Burt Webb is one of Arizona’s most recognized doctors in women’s health and has been voted Top Doctor by Phoenix Magazine on several occasions by his peers. A frequent educator of women’s health throughout the country, Webb has been helping women for decades get back to enjoying sex, a crucial part of every women’s overall mental and physical health and wellbeing.

He outlines tips for women to get back to satisfying sex, which include the non-invasive soundwave technology Cliovana. A new report* from the Department of Surgery at the University of Toronto shows that at three months, the Cliovana treatment was efficacious in enhancing the intensity of orgasm, lubrication, and arousal in 100% of the patients.

“When intimacy becomes painful, women’s overall physical and emotional well-being is affected, and relationships suffer,” says Webb. “ Women need to know that there are solutions; you don’t have to live a life without sex or with painful sex, and it’s an exciting time with new treatments like Cliovana that are easy and incredibly successful ways to change women’s lives dramatically.”

Five ways to help with painful sex, according to Dr. Webb:

  1. 1. Reduce inflammation: When tissue is inflamed, penetration can be painful. Treatment can include antibiotics; check with your healthcare provider for your best options. 
  2. 2. Use lubricants: Lubricants can ease the comfort of intercourse and help with vaginal dryness, reducing friction to make sex more enjoyable. 
  3. 3. Take your time: Foreplay is essential to better lubrication and preparing the mind and body for sex, helping to get the blood flow to all the right places.
  4. 4. Experiment with treatments: Cliovana is a patented treatment using soundwaves, which have been used to treat a wide variety of soft tissue issues for 40 years. The soundwaves induce microscopic trauma in tissue, stimulating the body’s natural processes for healing. This creates neurogenesis and neovascularization – or new blood vessels and nerve endings, resulting in improved blood flow to the clitoris, which increases sensitivity, all leading to greater sexual responsiveness. A three-month follow-up of respondents with Cliovana treatments showed that 83% had a pain level of just 1-2 out of 10. 
  5. 5. Be patient and set the mood: Strengthening the physical and emotional bond can help boost the sex drive. Connecting to your partner is crucial for feeling “in the mood.” Invest in talking, practice other acts of intimacy like kissing, and focus on affectionate touch.

Cliovana’s under-10-minute process includes three gentle steps: 

  • Step 1: Cupping provides a mild pulsing suction that draws the blood to the surface in preparation for soundwave treatment.
  • Step 2: Acoustic sound waves are transmitted through one of the two transmitter heads, which are responsible for enhancing revascularization and neurogenesis of the clitoris.
  • Step 3: The second transmitter head uses a combination of vibration and sound waves to help calm the area and allow it to take in the full effect of the treatment. 

This quick session is approximately 10 minutes and is done four times over two weeks.
