Vaginal remodeling device and methods

A method for non-invasively remodeling a therapeutic zone within a target tissue including a submucosa and a muscularis underlying a mucosal epithelium of female genital tissue in at least one of an introitus and a vagina, the method comprising:

• contacting the mucosal epithelium with a treatment tip, the treatment tip including an energy delivery element;
• and
• heating the target tissue in a portion of the vagina extending from the introitus inwardly to a location 1 cm in from the introitus and around a substantially complete circumferential section of a vaginal wall from 1 o'clock to 11 o'clock, wherein an aspect closest to a urethra is at 12 o'clock, wherein:
• the heating does not substantially affect the mucosal epithelium,
• the heating includes delivering energy by radiofrequency energy at the plurality of contact sites,
• the heating is controlled by a feedback control including at least one thermal sensor, such that a temperature of the target tissue does not go higher than a predetermined temperature, and
• the heating includes heating the therapeutic zone within the target tissue to between 40 degrees C. and 45 degrees C.;
• wherein the remodeling of the therapeutic zone within the target tissue includes tightening the target tissue.
