Arms

experimental: 30 pre-menopause and post-menopause women

Thirty healthy women with mild to moderate pelvic prolapse above the ages of 18 seeking treatment for vaginal laxity

Interventions

Intragen fractional radiofrequency with NeuViVa

The Transcutaneous Fractional Radiofrequency Device (TFRF) is a minimal risk device that is currently cleared by the FDA K142833.The device uses a non-invasive, transepithelial treatment probe to elevate epithelial tissue temperatures to 40-45 oC for the purpose of promoting tissue contracture. Real-time tissue impedance monitoring will be carried out using the treatment probe.

Primary outcome measure

  • To evaluate the efficacy of transcutaneous Fractional Radiofrequency Device (TFRF) for the treatment of vaginal laxity using the vaginal laxity questionnaire (VLQ). [ Time Frame: 12 month ]
