HOW DOES IT WORK?

During treatment, RF energy is applied to the interior vaginal canal and exterior labia. This deeply stimulates the vaginal tissue to encourage the body to increase its production of collagen and elastin as well as increase blood flow to the area. Studies have shown that radio-frequency resolved vaginal dryness and stress urinary incontinence better than any laser treatments.
