Radiofrequency treatment probe for treating vaginal laxity and associated systems and methods

A method of treating vaginal laxity with a treatment probe, the treatment probe comprising a treatment tip designed to accommodate vaginal anatomy, an electrode assembly coupled to the treatment tip, wherein the electrode assembly is configured to transfer radiofrequency energy to specific vaginal structures, a temperature measuring feature coupled to the electrode assembly, a radiofrequency handle configured to connect to the treatment tip, a connecter configured to connect the radiofrequency handle to a radiofrequency generator, and a protective apparatus configured to protect the radiofrequency handle, the method comprising the steps of:

• a. applying the treatment tip along the specific vaginal structure;
• b. repeating the applying the treatment tip along the specific vaginal structure to achieve a sustained endpoint temperature within the specific vaginal structure;
• c. generating power with the radiofrequency generator, wherein the power creates an electric field strength that is configured to penetrate the specific vaginal structure through a connective submucosa tissue layer to a layer of loose connective tissue.

The method according to claim 16 wherein the applying the treatment tip along the specific vaginal structure comprises applying to the labia majora bilaterally from a lowest edge of a mons pubis to a perineal body and laterally to a crural fold to achieve vulvar and perineal temperatures of about 40-45° C. for approximately five minutes or more of total heat time per area.
