At-home light-emitting diode and massage device for vaginal rejuvenation

Abstract

A light emitting module and massage device provide vaginal rejuvenation. The device exposes collagen in the vaginal area or mucosa to temperatures elevated over normal body temperature to cause the collagen to reversibly or irreversibly denature while simultaneously applying vibration. Once thermally-induced collagen denaturation has occurred, both neoelastogenesis and neocollagenesis may occur and may be initiated with fibroblast proliferation, which may be promoted with vibration. Neofibrogenesis also occurs due to the fibroblastic activity, responsible for secretion of new collagen matrix to effect tissue repair. Thus, the device exploits thermally-induced collagen denaturation and repair along with simultaneous vibration to improve tissue tone, connective tissue tension and bulk tissue regeneration.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates generally to vaginal insertable devices, and more particularly, to insertable vaginal rejuvenation devices. [0002] After giving birth or as they age, women may experience weakening or relaxation of their vaginal muscles. This relaxation of vaginal muscles is known as vaginal relaxation syndrome (VRS) or vaginal wall swelling, and it can adversely affect sexual intercourse, can cause problems with sexual performance and self-esteem, and can lead to urinary incontinence. Conventional solutions for tightening loose vaginal muscles include Kegel exercises and vaginal creams, but these often do not work. Costly and invasive procedures for vaginal rejuvenation such as vaginoplasty or laser vaginal rejuvenation are another option, but these also do not provide a safe, comfortable, affordable option for vaginal rejuvenation. Clinical treatment devices for insertion into the vagina to provide treatment are also available. H...

However, the ability of these conventional devices to actually handle VRS appears to be limited

Furthermore, these devices are intended for treatment in a clinical setting and are not designed as compact devices for consumer or at-home use, nor are they designed to be enjoyed by women, making it unlikely that regular treatment and reduces the effectiveness of the device
