Objective: Vaginal laxity is a symptom of pelvic floor dysfunction, often is a poorly defined condition, demand for treatment is increasing every day, there are available alternatives with energy-based devices (EBD) such as laser and radiofrequency. Our aim is to demonstrate the impact of Bipolar Radiofrequency (BPRF) on the pelvic floor for aesthetic and functional indications. Methods: A 12 week prospective evaluation was performed to 15 patients of a primary urogynecology unit that met inclusion criteria. Validated questionaires were used before and after BPRF protocol. Results: important changes in the scores of vulvo vaginal laxity questionnaires and perineometry values after BPRF were found No adverse events from the protocol were reported. Conclusions: BPRF treatment was well tolerated and showed a 3-month safety profile in this pilot study, changes in the scores of validated questionnaires are related to subjective improvement in vaginal tightness, these findings warrant longer follow up, and open a new frontier that can improve quality of life.
