Handheld device takes the pain out of vaginal rejuvenation

Consumer health group Joylux has announced the release of vSculpt, an over-the-counter handheld medical device using LED and sonic technology for pelvic floor toning and vaginal rejuvenation

One in three women will be impacted by some form of pelvic floor disorder at some point in their lives, brought on by pregnancy, obesity, menopause, or various other medical conditions. Additionally, with childbirth and aging, many women suffer from vaginal tissue laxity. Weakened pelvic floor muscles and tissue can cause millions of women to suffer gynecological health issues, spanning from stress incontinence and sexual dissatisfaction to loss of vaginal sensation and lubrication.

Utilising photosonic technology—a combination of red and infrared LEDs, gentle heat, and sonic technology—paired with a proprietary photonic gel, vSculpt is designed strengthen and tone the pelvic floor area, according to Joylux. When the light energy and sonic vibration is delivered to the vaginal tissue, a healing and tightening response occurs, restoring muscle tone and improving bladder control. At the same time, the group says, it can rejuvenate vaginal tissue for tone, hydration, and intensified sensation during sexual activity.

“As incredible as it is to be a woman and a mother, there are some unfortunate physical changes that occur after we give birth or as we age,” said Joylux CEO and founder Colette Courtion. “Not only are these physical changes difficult for us to deal with, but they can negatively impact our self-esteem and lead to intimacy issues with our partner. With vSculpt, women now have an effective solution that can be used in the privacy of their home to improve pelvic floor issues, while helping to rebuild self-confidence.”

Used three times per week for ten minutes per session over 60 days, the group claims its product has already delivered results. In a 2015 independent study administered by The Benchmarking Company, female study participants reported that 90% experienced less urinary incontinence; 95% felt improved vaginal tightness; 91% experienced more vaginal hydration; 89% felt increased vaginal sensitivity, and 89% felt an increased sense of confidence with sexual intercourse.

“I was extremely unhappy with the medical choices available such as hormonal creams, etc., and just resigned myself to enduring pain during intercourse. I must say I was thrilled that my vSculpt device made intercourse pain free,” reported a female study participant.

“Until now, the only treatment options for women who suffer from pelvic floor problems and vaginal laxity have been invasive surgery, medications, laser therapy, and physical therapy,” said Donnica L. Moore, MD and member of the Joylux Inc. Medical Advisory Board. “As an advocate for women’s personal health and wellness, I am excited that vSculpt will give women the first home usage device to address vaginal and pelvic floor problems associated with postpartum and menopausal vaginal changes, effectively helping to improve their quality of life.”
