Radiofrequency and Hybrid Fractional Laser for Vaginal Rejuvenation

This is a single-center, randomized, prospective study designed to evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency and hybrid fractional laser for vaginal rejuvenation. 120 subjects will be screened with 100 undergoing a three-part treatment of the vulvovaginal area IntraGen RF unit, IntraGen RF unit placebo, DiVa HFL unit, or DiVa HFL unit placebo. These treatments will be spaced one month apart and last about 25 minutes each. Each subject will be screened, undergo testing at baseline, and will be followed conservatively with no further therapy until they reach 6 months after the initiation of the designated treatment. At that time, all subjects will undergo subjective and objective testing. Those in the treatment group will be followed to 9 and 12 months after the initiation of treatment with appropriate analysis. Those in the placebo group will be provided a three-part treatment of the vulvovaginal area with the IntraGen RF unit and DiVA HFL unit. These treatments will be spaced one month apart and last about 25 minutes each. Six months after receiving three treatments of the dual therapy these patients will undergo subjective and objective testing. The primary outcome measure is improvement in vulvovaginal symptoms measured by the validated Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire. Data obtained from each investigation will be recorded in a password-protected digital spreadsheet, REDCap database and descriptive statistics will be obtained.
