Vaginal rejuvenation devices represent an innovative solution to women’s intimate wellness concerns, driven by technologies like Bipolar Radiofrequency (RF), which offer a minimally-invasive means to address issues such as laxity, atrophy, sexual & orgasmic dysfunction, dryness, and urinary leakage. As women increasingly prioritize holistic well-being, these devices stand as a promising avenue for enhancing treatment comfort and confidence in intimate health.
Introduction:
Per The National Library of Medicine, more than 20 million women are affected by uterine prolapse, birthing injuries, and incontinence. The causes of conditions such as vaginal relaxation syndrome or vulvovaginal laxity include vaginal delivery, natural aging, and atrophy. Aside from functional consequences, these conditions also have an effect on women’s sexuality and sense of well-being. Today, through public awareness programs, physician education, and media sources, the barriers to communication on issues with regard to female sexual dysfunction and incontinence have been broken. Information on these conditions and treatment options is more readily available, and, as a result, the demand for such interventions is growing.
Understanding the Vaginal Rejuvenation Device Technology:
Energy-based devices such as Bipolar Radiofrequency, stimulate type 1 collagen production in the extracellular matrix via the stimulation of fibroblasts. This process results in the contracture of elastin fibers, neovascularization, and improved vaginal lubrication. Recent RF studies showed an increase in the small nerve fiber density in the papillary dermis. Post-treatment biopsy tests have demonstrated Neocollagenesis and Neoelastogenesis in the submucosa after RF. The creation of new elastin, which is relatively unique to RF, may contribute to treating vaginal laxity. Several types of Bipolar Radiofrequency RF devices exist, and some have been developed with specific handpieces for the vaginal canal. RF technology has also been used to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Nonablative RF technology was used to achieve tightening of the vaginal canal also.

Device Functionality:
Pretty Tight Kitty’s RF Therapeutic Wand is designed so that the wand can be placed into the vaginal canal using vaginal lubricant and propped into place with a pillow or towel for internal use for 7-10 minutes. The shaft has 16 energy exit ports where the RF energy is emitted deep into the vaginal tissue. It has a unique design where two of those ports are at the tip so that the energy is pointed up towards the round ligament, bladder wall, and upper vaginal vault. No other device has this feature. The device shaft rotates at 3 speeds of your choice, all 3 being in the therapeutic range of 41.5-43C, and keeps the energy dispersed evenly thus keeping the vaginal vault tissue from making direct contact with any port and overheating or burning the tissue. The design of the grooves in the shaft also enables the heat to get deeper into the tissue. There is a temp probe measuring the heat at all times and will automatically adjust to stay in the therapeutic range, and will automatically shut off if it goes beyond 45C. For external use, you will use vaginal lubricant and need to manually move the device up and down from the outer introitus and up to the clitoral hood where the urethra is, going back and forth between top and bottom on both sides, including the labia majora and minora for 3-5 minutes each side. You may use the vibration of 3 levels of your choice as a distraction to the heat or as wanted or desired for pleasure. We at PTK want you to normalize treatment with the device and have fun while doing a session. It is also encouraged if desire to invite your partner to participate in foreplay and enhance your sexual intimacy. Have a blast in the bedroom while tightening and rejuvenating too!
