Short time efficacy and safety of focused monopolar radiofrequency device for labial laxity improvement—noninvasive labia tissue tightening. A prospective cohort study

Abstract

The present study demonstrates the positive effect of focused monopolar RF device for non-invasive labia tissue tightening. The treatment is effective and safe with high patient satisfaction.

Labial tissue rejuvenation and sexual function improvement using a novel noninvasive focused monopolar radio frequency device

“…Our results suggest that one or two treatments may be sufficient to achieve a very reasonable level of improvement in the treated conditions; however, some patients felt that they would benefit from more than four sessions. The FSFI changes exceeded the results achieved by previous studies (5,8), suggesting the investigated device is a highly efficient modality for treating impeded female sexual function.…”

Review and clinical experience exploring evidence, clinical efficacy, and safety regarding nonsurgical treatment of feminine rejuvenation

“…Focused external monopolar radio frequency (Intima, BTL Industries Inc., Boston, MA) delivered in 4 consecutive treatments at 1‐week intervals for labia tissue tightening was safe and demonstrated a positive short time effect . Post‐treatment, this small study (n = 17) showed a significant improvement in overall sexual satisfaction.…”

“…Positioning of these energy‐based devices for the treatment of vaginal laxity, defining the ideal patient profile, requires further research . Studies on both minimally ablative fractional laser and radiofrequency, have mostly included patients with mild to moderate primary or secondary vulvovaginal laxity and associated secondary medical or sexual conditions (orgasmic dysfunction, stress incontinence, atrophic vaginitis). The panel agreed that they select a similar population for female genital treatment with energy‐based devices.…”

“…For ThermiVa radiofrequency treatment 2‐4 treatments of 20‐30 minutes at 4‐6 weeks intervals are typically performed . For Ultra Femme/Intima, 4 treatments with 1 week intervals are usually performed . Maintenance treatment with radiofrequency is reported at 6‐12 months.…”

Intimate Esthetics: Radiofrequency and the Vitamin C Association

“…1 and 2). However Fistonic, et al [27] used radio frequency for the treatment of sagging on large lips, small lips and perineal region, being 4 sessions over a month, and obtained a satisfactory result even in a short period of applications. Vicariotto and Raichi [2], in their study on vaginal introitus sagging, performed the procedure with 5 radiofrequency sessions and also obtained substantial results.…”
